I don't know if the SD cards in the class were set up in a special way or if the bootloader is different on the C2 boards vs. B7. It's possible the boot order is different, or you need to hold down the USER button or change somethng in the internal NAND flash bootloader on the board. I would ask on the Beagle Board mailing list or IRC channel and see if anyone ovet there can help! Jan - Good question! I'm not sure what the video playback capabilities are, but I'm pretty sure I saw some video playing on a board before the class. I'm not sure that any existing media center packages support the Beagle board, but it might be worth looking into... Daniel – I just popped in the SD card and the board boots from it automatically.

I tried to boot my B7 board using the image you guys played around with at ESC. I can't seem to get it to boot though. How did you configure your BeagleBoard and what other preparations did you do to the image to get it to boot? Excellent article! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry I missed it---I have been doing this stuff on my own and with the help of the growing beagleboard community. Please stop by the demo table on Tuesday if you make it to the Embedded Linux Conference next week. I'll have a beagle board (B7) running MontaVista's yet-to-be-released MID stack. I also encourage you to join the TI Platforms embedded Linux discussion group on Meld at http://meld.mvista.com (full disclosure: I'm an admin on Meld). Keep up the excellent work, your blog looks great. I'm a new subscriber. Excellent writeup!
