Tool/software: Linux
Hello,
One of my customers is using the BBB and has the following question.
"We have an embedded Linux board that's very closely based on the BeagleBone Black schematic, and we've had these devices in the field for a while. The image we currently run on them is generated by Buildroot, and uses Linux kernel 3.14.43. We're trying to add support for some new hardware over USB that requires updating our kernel to 4.10 or higher, and I've run into a bit of a wall trying to update it. I cannot get the kernel to boot after updating Buildroot to 2018.02.2 and the kernel to 4.10. I have an SD card image built using the BeagleBone defconfig in Buildroot that boots perfectly well on the BeagleBone Black, but not on our board. Historically it hasn't been a problem for us to boot BBB images considering that the hardware is so similar, so I was hoping you could help me identify what might be causing the difference, or direct me to someone who could. I can provide any additional information you might need as well."
Regards,
David
