Debian and the Beagle Board

Jan Lübbe — Fri, 2008-06-27 12:59

After having read about the board a bit and getting courious, at LinuxTag 2008 i could try the real hardware for the first time. They had a demo running which showed a full Enlightenment desktop and everything seemed quite fast. I would guess the performance is similar to a P3 1GHz. The demo was based on OpenEmbedded, but with a system that is as fast as a few year old desktop system, i would of course prefer to run Debian.

For those wondering what the Beagle Board is:

based on the TI OMAP 3530 with 128MB RAM and 256MB NAND
HDMI (DVI-D) and S-Video output
Audio
SD-Card
USB 2.0 Host and OTG
can be powered by USB

So i applied for a free Beagle Board and have been lucky enough to receive one. When it has arrived i'll work on getting the board-specific software into Debian and porting Debian-Installer.

Debian/arm is a disaster

koen Kooi (not verified) — Mon, 2008-07-21 20:34

Running debian on arm is currently a disaster:

the official arm port is using armv4 hardfpa code which is slooooooooooow
the inofficial arm port ("armel") is using armv5 softftp, which on the cortex is also very slooooow

So instead of a system that is fast enough for 720p mpeg4 video, you get a system that can hardly play an mp3 without skipping and needs 10 times more space.

beagle for debian

Riku Voipio (not verified) — Sat, 2008-06-28 18:19

Afaik the only board-specific piece of software is the kernel, which should eventually fold mainline. So what needs to be done is getting a omap3 kernel to Debian.

If you are satisfied with a externally built kernel, just installing a debian to a SD card should be enough to use Debian on it. people working on the board can be found at #beagle on freenode irc, and debian/armel people on #debian-arm in oftc network. Allways glad to have more porters :)
