http://beagleboard.org

• TODO: This is a WIP

Hardware information (Rev A5A)

• PowerVR SGX530 3D GPU

• eMMC Onboard Storage 2GB (MMC1)

• SD Card Storage (MMC0)

• 512 MB DDR3L RAM

• Video Outputs

• HDMI Video Output (with audio)

• SMSC LAN8710A Ethernet

Setting up the Haiku SD card

The BeagleBone Black supports booting from an microSD card while the boot switch is pressed at power on. A MBR file system layout is normally used as seen below. Partition 1 is all that is required to boot an OS.

• partition 1 – FAT32, bootable flag, type ‘c’

• partition 2 – BeFS, Haiku filesystem, type ‘eb’

Boot Partition

Required files

• MLO

• u-boot.img: u-Boot image

• uEnv.txt: u-Boot Environment settings

Optional files

• ID.txt: Unknown

Compiling

• Create your work directory "mkdir generated.beagle; cd generated.beagle"

• Build an ARM toolchain using "../configure --build-cross-tools arm ../../buildtools --target-board beagle"

• TODO

Booting

1. If the boot switch is not depressed: MMC1, MMC0, UART0, USB0

2. If the boot switch is depressed: SPI0, MMC0, USB0, UART0

Emulation

The Linaro Fork of QEmu has beagle board (and other OMAP3) support.

https://launchpad.net/qemu-linaro

It seems you get this as the default QEmu install on some, but not all, Ubuntu versions. For other distros (or Haiku), you’ll have to compile it yourself.
