Hi,

I have been trying to build the Poky Linux distribution with the Texas
Instruments overlay as described in http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/Poky.
After going through the tutorial and running the bitbake omap-image-
min-gst command the image starts to build. After half an hour or so
the build will stop saying it cant fetch the kernel v2.6.28-felipec1.
After reading around I understand that this kernel is no longer
available and 2.6.32-felipec1 is now the preferred version.

I altered the linux-beagle_git.bb to try and fetch the new kernel as
below, but it still throws an error (error is at very bottom. Any help
would be much appreciated - Thanks.

You can also try angstrom, that has much better support for beagle and already has the gstreamer-ti DSP components integrated, as well as the sgx drivers.

Thanks Koen Kooi I will give that a shot. I didn't realise Angstrom
included the Texas components. Can you recommend a good tutorial to
get me started please?

Also if anyone does know what was wrong with my previous post I would
be very grateful for some help. I've spent hours trying to build Poky
and am too stubborn to admit defeat!!

Thanks

Or you can try marmita:

Hey, Stu!

Hi,
I have been trying to build the Poky Linux distribution with the Texas
Instruments overlay as described in BeagleBoard/Poky - eLinux.org.
After going through the tutorial and running the bitbake omap-image-
min-gst command the image starts to build. After half an hour or so
the build will stop saying it cant fetch the kernel v2.6.28-felipec1.
After reading around I understand that this kernel is no longer
available and 2.6.32-felipec1 is now the preferred version.

Yeah. I would have liked that kernel version to stay around for a
little longer, but it's gone from the GIT repository. That said, the
Wiki page is rather old, almost as old as the 2.6.28 kernel itself,
and I'm not sure the rest of the packages will be in their original
locations. Please update it as you see fit, but bear in mind that it
was last updated on May 2009.

I altered the linux-beagle_git.bb to try and fetch the new kernel as
below, but it still throws an error (error is at very bottom. Any help
would be much appreciated - Thanks.

I have seen that error too, and the problem lies in the server, I was
told. That happened to me only with kernels (big repositories) hosted
on Gitorious. You should try some more as eventually it works, or
change the protocol to http, or clone it yourself and host it on
another server.

Thanks guys ill look into them. I wasn't aware Angstrom included the
DSP components

Just an extra comment:

Angstrom by default uses DSPLink, meanwhile marmita enables DSPBridge.
Check the differences here:

opkg install gstreamer-ti or select the matching checkboxes in narcissus.
