</span>It doesn't need approval, although you do need to click on the link<br>
that's emailed to you once you subscribe.<br>

</span>We don't support that as yet.<br>

<br>
</span>We support both of those.<br>

<br>
</span>You need to use beaglebone for all of them<br>

</span>The uboot you need to use for the xM is called beagle although YMMV<br>

<br>
</span>You need a serial port, as for whether they're identical is not<br>
something I know.<br>
<span><br>

<br>
</span>We have a generic kernel, if you have the appropriate DT and a uboot<br>
that supports DT it's likely you can make them work.<br>

</span>No it's not, it made it to the list.<br>
<span><br>
>> ---- boot log from beaglebone black ----<br>
<br>
</span>You're booting from the eMMC and it doesn't support the generic distro<br>
boot functionality. Hit the button to force it to boot from the mSD<br>
card or wipe the first few kb of the eMMC.<br>
