Hi Everybody,
I got a beagleboard C4 recently and i had put the uImage on to the
primary partition card of SD Card it started
booting and i am seeing the following error
Hi Rajesh,
You can get a prebuilt root filesystem from the Angstrom site, assuming you are using an Angstrom kernel:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
Look for the big file *.tar.bz2
You will want to untar this file onto the second ext2 partition on your card.
You can write modules and put them directly on the card to load them using modprobe. If you want to compile them into the kernel, then obviously you’ll have to have the kernel source and enable the new modules in the .config file.
Hope this helps!
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
Thank you verymuch …
So no need to build rootfs everytime is my understanding correct…
–Rajesh…
Not unless you want to. I think of the rootfs the same way you would think of the rootfs for my desktop system - I might rebuild or reinstall parts of it, and on a development system I might indeed rebuild the whole thing from time to time, but most of the changes I make, kernel mods I install, or applications I develop do not require me to rebuild it.
