There is a BeagleBone Green now, and it would be great if Minix officially supported it. I've acquired the hardware, and I've begun working on it. I'm creating this issue to track the progress of the work. Feedback, suggestions, and patches are welcome.
Hardware Overview
The board is very similar to the BeagleBone Black with a few minor differences -- mainly connectors. Pretty much the only difference that matters to Minix is that there is no HDMI, and as such, the tda19988 driver shouldn't be started at boot.
Update releasetools/fetch_u-boot.sh to use new u-boot commit-id.
Testing
check all of the BBB functionality except for EDID reading on the BBG. I actually have a test plan I wrote for the BBB. I'll manually execute that for the BBG.
Do some testing on the BBB, BBW, BeagleBoard-xM, and x86 to ensure nothing broke there. Try booting with new u-boot and onboard u-boot if applicable.
Submit patchset for review.
Update wiki and other documentation to mention the BBG.
Issues
The latest HEAD doesn't boot on the BeagleBones. The work I'm doing in my bbg branch is based off of the last known good revision 8933525b85c631b3d20bed940561520be2b81891. I'll rebase it once that's resolved.
