[meta-ti] meta-ti (a345e0c2) Linux kernel fails to boot on Beagleboard-xM (rev C)

[Kevin.E.Cribbs at L3Harris.com]

Summary: meta-ti created beagleboard .config is causing the Linux kernel to fail during boot

Question:  How do I connect with the people that can correct the MACHINE equal beagleboard .config file?


Information that may explain why I ask the question above:

Based on Denys' recent reply, I confirmed a mainline Linux kernel v4.19.73 build runs on the Beagleboard-xM (when compiled with an appropriate kernel .config).

After identifying an appropriate .config for the mainline Linux kernel v4.19.73, I used that .config for defconfig in a poky 2.7.1 and meta-ti (44a979c5265) build. The meta-ti build using my defconfig override runs on the Beagleboard-xM.

When not overridden, the defconfig used for MACHINE equal beagleboard is the one line "use-tisdk-config=ti_sdk_omap2_release" file. During do_configure(), the one line defconfig causes execution of the lines below (with config equal to "ti_sdk_omap2_release").
/short/build/tmp/work/beagleboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-ti-staging/4.19.59+gitAUTOINC+50ceb3c6e7-r127a/git/ti_config_fragments/defconfig_builder.sh -w /short/build/tmp/work/beagleboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-ti-staging/4.19.59+gitAUTOINC+50ceb3c6e7-r127a/git -t $config
oe_runmake -C /short/build/tmp/work/beagleboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-ti-staging/4.19.59+gitAUTOINC+50ceb3c6e7-r127a/git O=/short/build/tmp/work/beagleboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-ti-staging/4.19.59+gitAUTOINC+50ceb3c6e7-r127a/build "$config"_defconfig

After my quick scan of the defconfig_builder.sh, I found a "ti_sdk_omap2_release_defconfig" file I believe to be based on arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig (based on defconfig_map.txt redirection via "defconfig: multi_v7_defconfig").
