By the way those are MLOs one for BBB and one for PB for those who want just to use it. i compiled them myself with standard Starterware settings booting form SD card and application name is (app)

MLO BBB : for beaglebone black.

MLO PB : for pocketbeagle.

app gpio-flash : small application for testing.

( MLO BBB or MLO PB must be renamed to MLO, and app gpio-flash must be renamed to app (or your own application) )

 

Regards

Edit: so i was not able to upload the files without extension so this should go without saying but remove the extension the file should be named only MLO or APP with no extensions

I was able to make it running myself with the ti Starterware + BBB support patch ( which i had no idea that it existed until yesterday) + new values for the DDR3 registers as specified  in the OCTAVO manual.

The problem with the Starterware-free seems to be the changes to the new fat system as it was trying to init. the SD card then it got stuck. However the changes that were made in the Starterware-free are pretty decent so i have not given up on it not yet (bunch of bug fixings + BBB 4GB internal flash access support + 2 PRUs which are now according to what they write are initiated and accessible). It just needs some cleaning + fixing the initialisation in the new Fatfs at least for the PocketBeagle. By the way the Bootloader from  Starterware-free did not work also for the BBB.

Hello Mike,

We are currently having the same problem you described exactly, however building the MLO from that project made things worse, currently it is stuck at the first message from their bootloader, our changed bootloader from starterware makes it up until jumping to app and hangs.

Is it possible to attach the MLO you were able to produce and got things working for you?

Thanks
