It is a SK and the revision of silicon is 1.0 as it is a XAM3359ZCZ  no A or B after the AM335x.

Huh, I'm wondering if 1.2 is still supported... There were 2.0 and 2.1
versions of the silicon and I believe those are the latest ones. Need to
double-check that.

And just to double-check here as well - you did try all the binaries I sent
you, including MLO, u-boot, zImage and DTB, right?

Thanks for the links Rudi, I looked for the file referenced in [2] "arch/arm/mach-omap2/cclock33xx_data.c" to see if the patch works but...

There is no cclock33xx_data.c rather there is in tmp/work/am335x_evm-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-ti-staging/3.11+3.12-rc5-r20a+gitrAUTOINC+eb765a394c/git/arch/arm/mach-omap2/cclock3xxx_data.c.

however a search I found tmp/work/armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-libc-headers/3.10-r0/linux-3.10/arch/arm/mach-omap2/cclock33xx_data.c

So it appears there is mis-match as the patch is in the 3.10 files that re in the armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi directory?

So is this something that is just lost from the 3.12-rc5 kernel and shouldn't the linux-linc-headers be the version being built?

Unfortunately being inexperienced with the project I am at a loss at how to fix this but hope this help point someone to the solution.

Regards,
Josh

Hi Josh,

I am seeing the exact same problem with my am335x-evmsk and the latest
meta-ti with 3.12-rc5 kernel. I posted it on this mailing list [1].

This problem looks like the one posted here [2].

The bad news is I don't have a solution for it. The good news is that Denys
and I are attending the same conference and I keep harassing him about it.
:)

Cheers,
Rudi

For example, here's the EVM:
