# Setting up the Haiku SD card
|
|
|
|
The BeagleBone Black supports booting from an microSD card while the boot switch is pressed at power on. A MBR file system layout is normally used as seen below. Partition 1 is all that is required to boot an OS.
|
|
|
|
* partition 1 -- FAT32, bootable flag, type 'c'
|
|
* partition 2 -- BeFS, Haiku filesystem, type 'eb'
|
|
|
|
## Boot Partition
|
|
|
|
### Required files
|
|
|
|
* MLO
|
|
* u-boot.img: u-Boot image
|
|
* uEnv.txt: u-Boot Environment settings
|
|
|
|
### Optional files
|
|
|
|
* ID.txt: Unknown

# Compiling
|
|
|
|
* Create your work directory `mkdir generated.beagle; cd generated.beagle`
|
|
* Build an ARM toolchain using `../configure --build-cross-tools arm ../../buildtools --target-board beagle`
|
|

# Booting
|
|
|
|
1. If the boot switch is not depressed:
|
|
MMC1, MMC0, UART0, USB0
|
|
2. If the boot switch is depressed:
|
|
SPI0, MMC0, USB0, UART0
|

# Emulation
|
|
|
|
The Linaro Fork of QEmu has beagle board (and other OMAP3) support.

|
|
|
It seems you get this as the default QEmu install on some, but not all, Ubuntu
|
|
versions. For other distros (or Haiku), you'll have to compile it yourself.
