Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse and Dale Rahn did some work porting OpenBSD to Beagleboard and Pandaboard. With
help from them, I got a Beagle-xM running (via serial port/minicom). So far, there is no in-tree support
for ethernet or usb.  I'm not sure if the same codebase could be used for Beaglebone.

Brett,

Right on.  Is the build process for the xM unofficially documented
anywhere? I know the cross-tools stuff isn't officially supported.  Is
there out-of-tree support for ethernet or usb?

Cheers,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Since the Beaglebone uses a different CPU I'm not sure how useful these notes will be to you. I don't know of
anyone working on ethernet or usb. Let us know if you get the Beaglebone to run OpenBSD. 

Here are my notes. This is mostly just based on what Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse (its his website at
http://humppa.nl/) and Dale Rahn told me to do. 

I have not tried to do this since the kernel was switched to rthreads, hopefully that will not have caused
anything to break.

Good luck!

Brett.

Note: when upgrading to newer kernel, these 2 files do not need to be changed.

If you are using a BeagleBoard xM you can use the beagle_fmt_sd script (below) to
create a bootable SD card:

Insert the card into your computer and call the script like:
