Hello,
I've been playing with a beagleboard for a few months now and
I'm preparing to take the plunge and try to make my first product with
a beaglesque baord. I'm buy trade a Java programmer so my knowledge
is this field is growing. I really like the beagleboard due to the
excellent documentation and vibrant group surrounding it. My dream
would be to embed the beagleboard in my product but I know I cannot do
that, I've looked at things like GumStix but the support is just not
as good. Does anyone know of a clean room implementation of the
beagleboard which would allow me to take my work directly across from
the beagleboard to a final product or some way of licensing the
beagleboard for commercial opportunities (my preferred choice tbh).
My quantity demands are fairly low and my product is high value - I'm
talking of dozens of units rather than thousands.
Cheers,
Neil
Hi Neil,
I have similar ideas - so please keep me informed about what you will
find and do.

Hi Neil,
I wouldn't be scared of going the Gumstix way - Actually I have done this
myself with great luck 
The boards are pretty much alike and it's kind of
easy to go from Beagle to Gumstix and back again in case needed - Not the
biggest deal
Dependent on your exact requirement, volume and time schedule I might be
able to help you forward on this. In case interested please don't hesitate
to contact me offline to discuss further about your project...
Best regards
Søren
Have you read the instructions on that page?
Yes seems way too complicated. I have nothing to copy from /boot its a blank new card
I am following a new approach instead very simple
http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/ds5gs/ds5gs_2bb_setup.htm
I am using dd to write DS-5-BB-SD-card.img to the SD
dd --filter=removable bs=1M if=DS-5-BB-SD-card.img of=\?\Device\Harddisk2\Partition0
I changed the bootcmd to
OMAP3 beagleboard.org # setenv bootcmd "mmc init ; fatload mmc 0 0x82000000 boot.scr ; source 0x82000000"
Uboot complains there is no boot.scr then trys to load uImage
I am unable to read whats on the card in windows now
Can anyone help with this ?
Can I just write a boot.scr to the card ifso which one
To start off with use linux - install it as a vm using vmware or virtualbox. You’ll suffer trying to do this with windows
You looked at the link right? This is an approach from ARM using their DS-5 IDE
If your comment still applies about using linux I would try following this
I just want to make it clear this is a Keil/ARM link
http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/ds5gs/ds5gs_2sdc_linux.htm
It appears following above approach I will have a nice GUI something I have yet to see as I have only successfully booted the HW Verification kernel
I have 2 cards one with HW verification
if necessary I can get a 3rd and try your approach seperate I am needing help on this approach for now

Yes, and repeating that link all over again does not make it better..
Which version of the board are we talking about here? C4 or -xM?

there are a few SODIMM modules at the market now, like this one:

the Anstrom kernel is 99% compatible with Beagleboard Cx

For now a C4 because of the export regulations in the US I cannot test
an xM (though I am getting reports I can order I'm waiting a month or
so as it seems a little confused) but when the xM becomes available
outside the US I will test that out for this project as a faster
module would be good as I'm doing image processing on this job.
There are no export restrictions on the -xM. You are working off of old news.

Hello,
That's great news - I'll place my order tomorrow!
Cheers,
Neil
We are a little backed up on shipments but we should ship 2000 boards between now and the end of October, assuming we get our processors as scheduled.
