[yocto] minimal yocto images not booting on Beagleboard-xM rev B

[G Rajender]

Hi Gary,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have followed the steps given in README.hardware. I have copied all the required images to SD card, inserted in to SD/MMC slot of Beagleboard-xM rev B, connected the serial cable to minicom on Host PC (Ubuntu 10.04) and given power to the board. But on minicom i am not getting any bootup messages and echos etc...

Can you please suggest the steps to follow on how to execute meta-beagleboard BSP pre-built binaries on Beagleboard-xM rev B.

Thank you much for your valuable time spending on this. Looking for your kind response.


Thanks and regards,

Rajender.G

What does "not booting" mean?  What errors are you getting?
