[meta-ti] Panda board build question

[Richard Memory]

Hi meta-ti email thread:

I am not sure this is the correct forum to ask this question, if not,
possibly you could kindly redirect me to the correct forum? I browsed
through the archives and I didn't immediately see any answer to my question
(hopefully I didn't blatantly miss it).

I have a Panda Board ES. Using directions similar to those found at the
following webpage:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_to_Make_3_Partition_SD_Card

I successfully formatted my SD card (my card has a partition for boot and a
partition for rootfs). I verified my SD card works with pandaboard images
built from a downstream Yocto/OE distribution. My goal is to be able to
boot my target with the official yocto from git.yotcoproject.org.

I am able to successfully build target images (MLO, U-boot, uImage, and
rootfs), but the kernel built from bitbake sources obtained from
git.yoctoproject.org fails to start.

I have tried the images a couple of times. I switch back and forth between
downstream images (which always seem to work) and the images built from
yoctoproject. In one case with the yoctoproject images, u-boot seemed to
attempt to start the kernel. That is, I could see u-boot doing its thing at
a serial terminal. But upon startup, the kernel just seems to die without
any message of why. The LEDs stop flashing, the ethernet power has no
power, etc. The images I built from the downstream yocto distrobution
always seem to work without problem.

Step 1) git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky poky

Step 2) git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-ti meta-ti

Step 3) source oe-init-build-env mypandaboard_build_dir

Step 4) Modify local.conf to use machine ?= "pandaboard"

Step 5) Modify BBLAYERS in bblayers.conf so that it can find the meta-ti
layer.

Step 6) bitbake core-image-minimal

This produces the following images:

MLO-pandaboard-2011.12-r8, 32748 bytes
u-boot-pandaboard-2011.12-r8.img, 187676 bytes
uImage--3.4-r1a-pandaboard-20131107151820.bin, 4333856 bytes
core-image-minimal-pandaboard-20131107151820.rootfs.tar.gz, 2308175 bytes

I have tried both the the master and dylan branches with the same results
each time.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Richard
