This blog is for those who are trying to get familiar with Beagleboard-XM and OpenCV. In this blog I will be covering the installation of Angstrom, Ubuntu, and OpenCV on the Beagleboard-XM. I may also post other projects that I find interesting. The reason that I decided to do this blog is because as a beginner, it took me a lot of time to research the information on getting OpenCV up and running on the Beagleboard.  Therefore, I aim to have all this information readily available in one location for all those who are looking into installing OpenCV with the Beagleboard and also as future reference.
