Any images out there for Beaglebone? Quite interested!

Edit: Haaa, use your eyes and you shall see!

Edit: Boo :( I haven't gotten it to boot yet. Boot messages are as follows:

    Minoca Firmware Loader
    Boot Device: 00000008
    Launching bbonefw.bin.
    Jumping to 82000000...

Chris from Minoca here.

What you're seeing is the serial output. If you plug in an HDMI monitor, you'll hopefully already be at the shell prompt. Email me ([email protected]) if you run into further issues.

Hey Chris! Very excited about the potential for a lightweight embedded OS.

I think I understand my confusion now, I was hoping for a shell on the serial port. Most of the work I do with BBB's is headless. Does the exclamation point mean it's finished booting to userspace? Do you think you could rig up the serial port with a shell?

How does Minoca handle GPIO's, and other things like RTC's and SPI? I'm sure you know of device tree and sysfs drivers for GPIO, but I can write you a quick overview!
