Hi all, the BBB is a nice toy, but the pre-installed Angström Linux is horrible (systemd, arghh!). Unfortunately crux-arm.nu doesn't mention the beagle bone, and the "General setup" and "Configuration tips" pages are empty. Has anybody successfully installed Crux on a BBB?

we haven't a BBB to give any info about CRUX-ARM running on them. About General setup and configuration tips, we are still thinking about how to manage the big amount of ARM devices and make some kind of pattern to make a generic install procedure document. Help is always welcome to make a better wiki. BeagleBone seems to be Cortex-A8... taking a fast look to current Release Notes 3.0 [1], cubieboard seems to be very similar. Suggested CFLAGS for BBB are "-O3 -pipe -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard" and they are near the ones used for cubieboard. If there is no optimized release for this device, another option could be to install the generic one (built with CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -mfloat-abi=hard") and begin with an optimization for these devices. You can contact us [2] if you need any help to use CRUX-ARM on it.
Regards, Bernd

Great, I'll try my best and report back to the list. Regards, Bernd -- http://sudrala.de

I'm considering buying one and I would intend to try to put CRUX on it. I'll let you all know if and when I do this :) cheers James
