Introduction

The Beagle Board is a low-cost, fan-less single-board computer based on Texas Instruments' OMAP device family, with all of the expandability of today's desktop machines, but without the bulk, expense, or noise. Today, participation is limited to a handful of open source developers and universities. Once there is enough to make the platform suitable for a broader group of developers, you'll be able to find purchasing information and the latest status at BeagleBoard.org. Feel free to subscribe to the BeagleBoard RSS feed with your browser now.

For now, project information is hosted by Google. Source files for some projects will be hosted here locally on the BeagleBoard GitWeb. This is only for source where SVN is not suitable for source management.

Current participants are welcome to sign-up on the BeagleBoard Discussion List. For a "live" discussion, please feel free to join us on the #beagle channel on irc.freenode.net (irc://irc.freenode.net/#beagle). You can utilize the BeagleBoard-hosted Java-based client.

To catch a glimpse of the BeagleBoard media, there are photographs and videos on YouTube and Flickr.

HELP ME PLEASE, I AM DESPERATE TO GET THIS UP AND RUNNING!!!!! Booting from a SD Card

Tried with SD 2G and SDHC 4G cards

Operating system: Windows XP I formatted and reformatted as a FAT32 system, using both HP disk storage format tool version V2.0.6 and Windows XP

Ensured MLO was copied FIRST each time followed by u-boot.bin, u-boot-f.bin,ramdisk.gz,uImage.bin,boot.scr and normal.scr

Absolutely sure that the SD card was inserted correctly

Positive that I am pressing the User button before power-up (using an adapter) and releasing it after power-up

However, I cannot get to boot the Beagleboard from the SD Card. I must have tried over 100 times and every time, it boots from the NAND flash.

I do NOT know how to make the SD bootable using windows and HP disk format tool. So, I tried the method suggested by blurgs, to make the SD card bootable (Downloaded the editor:http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=24 )

None of this helps.

PLEASE HELP
