[mel-discuss] BeagleBoard-XM booting problem

[Hudson, Sean]

Govind,

  Glad to hear you made progress.  BTW, the MEL Kit images are command line only.

Regards,

Hi Scott / Sean,

Thanks for your replies and a thousand apologies for the silly goof up :). I must have made some mistake while renaming the uIimage file. So now once I loaded the proper image, I was able to successfully boot and log in to linux!

By the way, does this build have a GUI - I couldnt see anything on the DVI monitor (unlike the default angstrom builds) - I could only see output on the UART terminal ?

Hi Govind:

You might check that uImage is actually the kernel image,
uImage-beagleboard.bin. Looking at the console output below,
it appears that uImage is not the kernel image file,
uImage-beagleboard.bin but the u-boot file, u-boot.img. You
can tell by looking at the "Image Name: U-Boot 2011.12-dirty for beagle"
It should actually be "Image Name:   Mentor Embedded Linux/3.0.17/bea".

Instead of autobooting, you can manually boot your board by doing:

OMAP3 beagleboard.org<http://beagleboard.org> # mmc rescan
OMAP3 beagleboard.org<http://beagleboard.org> # fatload mmc 0:1 0x80200000 uImage
reading uImage

3356360 bytes read
OMAP3 beagleboard.org<http://beagleboard.org> # bootm 0x80200000

Hope that helps...
