The BeagleBone uses a TI AM3358, based off TI's Sitara AM335x family of Cortex-A8 based devices.. Think of it as a cross between the BeagleBoard's DM3730, other OMAP4 enhancements and DaVinci's networking.. Mainline support is currently being pushed upstream, v3.6.x should be the first to boot the device to a console prompt using device tree.. Currently the beagleboard.org community is maintaining a v3.2.x based tree at: https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel With plans to move back to mainline as soon as a basic mainline kernel can boot once again, as the v3.2 kernel is a large fork.. For reference, this is the same (but updated) kernel currently shipping in community Angstrom and Ubuntu/Debian images.. You can use the same 'userspace' image's built for the BeagleBoard, but you'll have to update the bootloader. (MLO/u-boot.img) from: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/ Or you can use u-boot v2012.07-rc1, which i just successfully booted on a BeagleBone yesterday..
