I created a folder which, after configuration, contains openembedded,
bitbake, pixhawk and build subfolders. Then I tried to bitbake x-load
but keeps sending a parsing error message. As for the demo beagleboard
repository I linked, there is a uImage of 3.0.17 kernel but when I
download the rootfs, under /boot directory there is a 2.6.32 uImage.
This is what confuses me...Thanks for your patience!

MLO or x-loader is built as part for u-boot so you no longer have to build
it separately. When you build console-image, u-boot and uImage are built for
you and this is why you see uImage in the /boot folder. You will save
yourself a lot of time learning to use Angstrom. Follow Brian's response to
this post as he did a nice job of explaining how to use Angstrom.

Kind Regards,
John

Hey Thanks for the feedback. I actually have been working on getting Ubuntu working for the BB XM with SPI, and today I got it all working. Had a little help from Robert and i’ve documented my findings on my blog. If anyone is looking for a full walk though for novice users using Ubuntu I hope this helps. My problem was I hated searching too many sites for all the answers over the last couple weeks. Sure feels good to have this all working now.
