Status of Beaglebone (White) and Micro
- The Micro has support in buildroot
- Buildroot is getting support The BeagleBone (white) and black.  It is in process; in the mean time, here is a simple way to get it working

  1. create a directory bealgebone
  2. git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
    This will create a directory buildroot
  3. For the kernel use https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/tree/3.8 I download load via the zip link on the far right of the web page
  4. unzip the file
  5. run the ./patch.sh
  6. Create a tar file: tar zvcf kernel linux-3.8.tar.gz 
  7. copy the linux-3.8.tar.gz into the buildroot/dl directory.  This "stuffs" the kernel into the buildroot download tree
  8. mkdir bld
  9. cd bld
  10. make -C ../buildroot/ O=$PWD beaglebone_defconfig
  11. make
  12. wait few hours
On of the issues when copying the image the most of the sdcard is not used.  To fix that do the following:
sudo resize2fs /dev/xxxx

the xxxx is the partition of the sdcard   this will expand the image until to space is filledd
