Does ROOL support the OTG port on BB C3?

Hi folks,

I have obtained a Beagleboard C3 and I’m ready to try RiscOS on it. Unfortunately this particular BB has a dead USB host socket. This causes no problems with Angstrom as I just use the OTG port with a host cable.

Before I make myself crazy by trying and failing, can someone tell me if it is possible to set up and use RiscOS using only the OTG port?

Thanks!

It should work, but there are a few issues with the driver that I need to resolve. I’m actually working on a partial rewrite of the driver at the moment, so hopefully that will solve the main issues that people have been having.

That’s great! Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi all,

I possibly have a related issue. I can boot all the way to:

RISC OS 128MB
Cortex-A8 Processor
Acorn SCSIFS
No keyboard present – autobooting
Supervisor
*

Where it stays stuck, keyboard does not respond.

Keyboard & mouse are fine in Angstrom… BB is powered with its own 5V connector and kb/mouse are connected via powered USB hub attached with a OTG mini-A to A connector.

Grateful for any thoughts/suggestions, am dieing to see RISCOS boot on a physical machine for the first time in 20 years!!

Hi,
I got the keyboard/mouse working. Curiously it was boot loader related. Previously I had U-Boot version:
U-Boot 2010.03-rc2-00003-g7027d56-dirty (Mar 28 2010 – 21:14:26)

But after installing this older version:
U-Boot 2009.01-dirty (Feb 19 2009 – 12:22:31)

Keyboard and mouse now work as expected. Now I can boot to the desktop.

I can now confirm the the OTG port does indeed work on my Beagleboard C3 simply using the instructions in various posts on the forum. Nice!
