Apparently, on 4/27/11, CircuitCo started shipping Rev. C BeagleBoard-xM boards. These boards have some subtle hardware differences which made previous boot loader and kernels unable to run on them. Despite many hurdles (which I won't go into) I have released a new version of Pickle Linux which successfully supports this new hardware. In addition (thanks to Moishe, NY2SI for bringing this to my attention), I fixed a problem with the chan_beagle driver. So, even if you have an older board, it would be a good idea to at least update from the latest SVN sources, or download the new version of Pickle Linux. JIM WB6NIL

Awesome work Jim! I'll be watching the BeagleBoard mailing list for any notifications of new revisions. I don't think there was any warning about the rev C boads though.

More awesome work guys! 8-Dale -- PickleJar Research - Home of the PICO NODE - http://www.picklejar.org How many pickled pickles could a pickled penguin pick, if a pickled penguin could pick pickled pickles?
You know, it might not be a bad idea to put a post on the BeagleBoard mailing list about our success with a Ubuntu-compatible kernel for the xM rev. C. I dont think anyone else has one yet. It might be helpful to some people. JIM
