= HelenOS on !BeagleBoard =

Information pertaining to porting HelenOS to the [https://beagleboard.org/beagleboard-xm BeagleBoard-xM] single-board computer.

== Status ==

Supported models:

  * !BeagleBoard-xM

The !BeagleBoard-xM has been supported since HelenOS 0.6.0.

== Booting ==

The !BeagleBoard can be either netbooted or booted over serial.

In either case, start by build HelenOS for the arm32/beagleboard target. This produces an uImage.bin binary.

In order to boot over network, do:

{{{
U-Boot# dhcp 192.168.0.108:/helenos/uImage.bin
...
U-Boot# bootm
}}}

where ''192.168.0.108'' is the IP address of the tftpboot server and ''/helenos/uImage.bin'' is the path to the HelenOS uboot image relative to the beginning of the tftpboot directory.
}}}

Boot over serial takes much longer:

{{{
U-Boot# loady   # after this command, start sending the uImage.bin from the terminal program using the ymodem protocol
...
U-Boot# bootm
}}}
