The patch still applies to the current HEAD. I tested it with both
BeagleBone and BeagleBoneBlack as described in the readme file.

Hello community,

is there really no interest in this patch?

I personally think it would be a great improvement for beaglebone
support, but do not feel suficiently familiar with buildrooot to apply
Acked-by.

Kind regards

Stephan

 I didn't actually test it in any way, but it looks good and Stephan tested it.

+Prepare you SDCard
+==================
+
+You need to prepare first partition in fat32 and marked as bootable,
+and second where you will write rootfs.
+
+Copy the files to boot partition
+
+  $ cp MLO u-boot.img zImage uEnv.txt *.dtb /media/zzzzz
+  
+where /media/zzzzz is the mount point
+Then you need to write the rootfs image onto SDCard:
+
+  # dd if=rootfs.ext2 of=/dev/xxxxx
+  
+where /dev/xxxxx is the second partition. Use:
+  
+  # fdisk -l 
+  
+to check for correct one.
+
+Finish
+======
+
+Unmount all mounted SDCard partitions and insert the card to BeagleBone.
+Hold the "BOOT" button and apply power. Then release the "BOOT" button. 
+The output is available on the serial console.
