Where is the Schematic for the BeagleBoard-xM ??

Thanks!
Best regards,

Use the Rev A3. It is the same as the Rev B. Rev B is a Rev B because the Processor was changed.

Greetings,

  Just a quick note on the Pico Node project. We now have it up and
running on a BeagleBoard-xM and everything seems to be working fine and stable
so far. I've sent my BeagleBoard-C3 off to a deserving college student friend
of mine in NY state and am going to get another Beagle-xM for myself.

  We are up and running with a 2.6.45.4 kernel at present, which I have
built natively right on the Beagle. Yes, it takes awhile, but we need kernel
sources that exactly match the running kernel for Pico Node. Pico Node is the
smallest fully functional internet linking node for Amateur Radio. The
BeagleBoard-xM completely replaces the PC that would normally run such a node.

Dale,

I just started working with my XM, and would like to set up a complete
toolchain on it. I also want to do work natively, so I would like to
know what I need to put together as far as packages are concerned to get
my board up like you have. Can you help me?

Sincerely,

Mike Fontes

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus/

and select (amongst other options):
  Development packages->Native (on-target) SDK

that should give you a native toolchain in the resulting image.

  It depends what environment you want to develop in. I started out with
Angstrom, but quickly discovered that Ubuntu is quite a bit more stable and
has fewer problems, at least for us. We had significant problems with
networking in Angstrom, and since my partner logs into my Beagle-xM remotely,
this was a major issue for us. We don't have the networking issues with
Ubuntu 10.10 that we had with Angstrom.

  I'm now building Ubuntu images with rootstock, which you can find out
about on the Ubuntu wiki. There is also an ubuntu-arm IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net you should check out.

  As it stands, I think I will be doing all future development for any of
my projects using Ubuntu 10.10. Once you get a setup you are happy with, it
really is nice to use. I have a rootstock script that creates my current
image if you are interested.

Dale,

I am interested. My product will most likely use the network as its main
contact to the outside world so stability is an issue with me also.

Thanks,

rootstock --dist lucid --fqdn tester --login ubuntu --password temppwd \

  I hope that command transfers over well. It's quite long. :slight_smile:

What kind of problems? Networking works beatifully over here

We had a lot of problems with my partner losing his link to the beagle.
We don't have that issue now though. I'm not sure what the cause of the link
loss was, but we don't see it happening now. Might have been something to do
with the kernel ethernet driver for the xM board (rev A2).

Gerald,

please tell what Processor change you write about

Gerald,

please tell what Processor change you write about

http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/dm3730.html has a link to
the silicon errata that describes the differences between the silicon
versions.

We went for the ES1.0 to the ES1.1 of the DM3730.
