Hi, Thanks for allowing me to start my contributions. I have downloaded 23/08/10 daily packages and put the binaries into MMC and boot the system. It was hanging in the U-Boot after I2C ready console print.
My beagle board is Rev C4.
Thanks, Hariharan.V.

Thanks a lot for the offer! We don't have a very good list of things that people can grab, but since you mention you have a beagleboard, there are various things which could be done on top.
- testing our linux-linaro-2.6.35 kernel and u-boot-linaro bootloader and reporting any missing features / bugs when compared to other distros - measuring boot time of the various pieces (x-loader, u-boot, kernel, userspace) perhaps breaking each piece open and seeing where time is spent in the kernel init; how does NAND boot versus MMC boot compare with your MMC? - creating a barebox package building a beagleboard version; does it have regression over u-boot? (perhaps some fixes which went into u-boot are missing?) - trying to run MeeGo on top of Linaro - packaging linaro-media-create and other scripts into a linaro-media-utils package or something similar - insert your own idea here! You might be more of a toolchain person, or a graphical applications specialist etc. etc.
(#linaro if you need some guidance/tips on the above ideas, or followup here)
Cheers,
