Hi, can you explain how to use the meta-beagleboard layer? My build was 
done using the BSP for "Texas Instruments ARM Cortex-A8 development 
board (Beagleboard)" (10.0.0 Dora). I downloaded it, and I think I built 
it with Hob the first time. I also used 'bitbake' to adjust the 
configuration and build from the command line to try different options.

I just downloaded the latest Yocto project 1.6 (11.0.0 Daisy), and had a 
look around including running Hob. However, I couldn't find a 
meta-beagleboard layer.

I also downloaded and installed binaries for the latest build from:

autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/releases/CURRENT/machines/beagleboard/

These worked but showed the same behaviour (i.e. no USB). Maybe it has 
something to do with the way I set up the boot environment?

Thanks,
Jeremy
