Description Saul Wold 2013-11-13 17:24:29 UTC

With the recent removal of the omapfb git repo, we should convert the beagleboard configuration and kernel to use omap instead.

Comment 1 Saul Wold 2013-11-13 17:25:00 UTC

It's a build blocker

Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2013-11-13 17:32:15 UTC

I don't have any displays with a beagleboard to test any update .. so it would be done
blind. Which isn't a good thing. 

I'll see if I can find someone with the right hardware.

Comment 3 Robert Yang 2014-04-01 08:05:07 UTC

We will test it based on the new kernel.

Comment 4 Robert Yang 2014-04-10 02:38:35 UTC

We don't have the beaglebone board atm, we have to move it to 1.7.

Comment 5 Bruce Ashfield 2014-10-24 15:43:49 UTC

moving to 1.8, when we can work on this with the newer 3.14 LTSI kernel.

Comment 6 Kevin Hao 2014-12-24 11:33:26 UTC

The current x86-video-omap don't support am3358 yet. Denys Dmytriyenko has changed the video driver from xf86-video-omapfb to xf86-video-fbdev in commit a7d978cde201 ("beaglebone.conf: configuration updates").
