Beaglebone Black Support

[Pete Bowden]

Hi All - What's the status of support for Fedora on Beaglebone Black? I find
references to a old version working on BBB, but nothing recently. Anyone working on making
it function?

Should be working OK, use the 'am335x_evm' target for uboot if using the
arm-image-installer.
I'll add a note in the help for the next version to make it clear as others have asked
as well.

According to this issue
https://pagure.io/arm-image-installer/issue/60

BeagleBone Black is supported, it's just that all beaglebone products
got lumped into am335x_evm

Correct there's a single firmware for all the am335x devices and the
firmware does runtime detection of the actual device and sets it up
correctly.

I had mine booting on F-32 GA but I've not tested it recently on 5.7+
as I've recently moved and it's taken longer than I'd hoped to get my
testing farm back up and running.

Thanks everyone for the lightning quick replies. I saw am335x_evm but assumed that was for
a specific eval board. I'll give it a shot!

The am335x_evm firmware currently supports the following list of devices:

am335x-bone.dtb
am335x-boneblack.dtb
am335x-pocketbeagle.dtb
am335x-boneblack-wireless.dtb
am335x-bonegreen.dtb
am335x-bonegreen-wireless.dtb
am335x-boneblue.dtb
am335x-sancloud-bbe.dtb
am335x-evm.dtb
am335x-evmsk.dtb
am335x-icev2.dtb

I'm not sure the best way to communicate that in an easy and straight
forward way that doesn't rapidly get out of date across all the
devices we support with that script. Suggestions welcome.

Where is that list defined?
