Beaglebone Black support? #60

Closed dvial closed 10 years ago

dvial commented 10 years ago

Is this meant to run on Beaglebone Black? When I attempt to run patch.sh the write fails with the message "No space left on device".

I have no files on the device except those that came with the out-of-the-box Angstrom distribution.

No, unless you have a spare 1.5/2GB of free space...

After reading this response, I wasn't sure if this is an/the official Beagleboard kernel development project, or a project by a long-ranger who likes to share.

Are the system requirements for this kernel posted online somewhere?

RobertCNelson commented 10 years ago

I'll let you decide: https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/blob/master/patch.sh#L3

The "patch.sh" script, needs a lot of space as it clones the full "linux-stable" repo... The main purpose of this repo is to keep track and continuously 'rebase' all the external patches we are working on getting in mainline..

System requirements: lots of harddrive space, compiler, etc..

Edit: a minimal of 1.7GB of space is needed as of today to run this script. (it will continue to grow..)

Regards,

This was linked to me through a BeagleBone support thread. I was hoping to take advantage of USB patches posted here but it sounds like that isn't doable?

RobertCNelson commented 10 years ago

Why not? Run the script on an x86 pc, or with a much larger media device then the eMMC on the bbb, then rebuild the kernel/install/etc..

"Why not?" - namely because I'm new to all of this and didn't realize that's the far better practice ;) Thanks!
