HelenOS on BeagleBoard

Information pertaining to porting HelenOS to the ​BeagleBoard-xM single-board computer.

Status

Supported models:

• BeagleBoard-xM

The BeagleBoard-xM has been supported since HelenOS 0.6.0.

Booting

The BeagleBoard can be either netbooted or booted over serial.

In either case, start by build HelenOS for the arm32/beagleboard target. This produces an uImage.bin binary.

In order to boot over network, do:

U-Boot# dhcp 192.168.0.108:/helenos/uImage.bin
...
U-Boot# bootm

where 192.168.0.108 is the IP address of the tftpboot server and /helenos/uImage.bin is the path to the HelenOS uboot image relative to the beginning of the tftpboot directory. }}}

Boot over serial takes much longer:

U-Boot# loady   # after this command, start sending the uImage.bin from the terminal program using the ymodem protocol
...
U-Boot# bootm
