[meta-ti] i *really* want a bootable OE image for my pdlogic am1808 experimenter kit

[Cooper Jr., Franklin]

Robert,
I am currently working on porting am180x to the latest Sitara Linux SDK (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_Software_Developer%E2%80%99s_Guide). Our Sitara SDK is based on the Arago distribution (http://arago-project.org/git/?p=meta-arago.git;a=summary)

Meta-Arago has the following restrictions:
1. We use a prebuilt toolchain for our oe-core builds (http://software-dl.ti.com/sdoemb/sdoemb_public_sw/arago_toolchain/2011_09/index_FDS.html). You probably can use the tool chain built with oe-core but you have to make a tweak to use the "internal" built tool chain instead of the expected "external" tool chain.
2. Meta-Arago master is based on the latest meta-oe, meta-ti, oe-core maintenance branch. This means you will need to use meta-oe, meta-ti and oe-core danny/denzil branches for things to work without a problem. We just started work on transitioning to danny from denzil.
3. My work for am18 hasn't been pushed to meta-arago or meta-ti yet. But you can see my hacks in the Sitara SDK integration branches.

http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=meta-arago-amsdk.git;a=summary Branch: amsdk-05.07.00.00-integration
http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=meta-ti-amsdk.git;a=summary Branch: amsdk-05.07.00.00-integration

If you build tisdk-rootfs-image (full SDK root filesystem) or arago-base-image (minimal root filesystem) you should get what you need to get the board booted up.

If you have issues we do have a script that configures everything you need to get up and running and building with our Arago distribution in no time.
