Problems Installing kernel into Leopard Board

This question is answered

I have been tying to install the bootloader, kernel and file system built by the RR SDK into the Leopard Board by following instructions on

http://designsomething.org/leopardboard/f/22/t/103.aspx

but when i try the make installbootloader i always get fail when trying to do the handshake with u-bootno matter i try serial, usb or tftp download modes.

 

Trying other way, i have benn following the "Bringing up a bricked leopard board" and when trying 

mono /home/linux/DM35x_FlashAndBootUtils_1_00/DM35x/GNU/sfh_DM35x.exe -nanderase -p /dev/ttyS0

the following message

 

Waiting for the DM35x... BOOTME commmand received.

Returning ACK and header... ACK command sent.

Waiting for BEGIN command... Target: BOOTME

Waiting for the DM35x... BOOTME commmand received.

Returning ACK and header... ACK command sent.

Waiting for BEGIN command... Target: BOOTME

 

 keeps repeating on and on. I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed

 

Any help would be welcomed!

Thanks

  • Solved!

    SD card worked. Double-checking, we had a wrong pin-out in the serial cable. Testing it now works fine

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Did you close the terminal program (E.g. minicom) when you are using the Flash and Boot utils?

  • Hi,

    if you restart the leopard, what does it says?(make an access with putty or minicom).

  • Hi Lorenzo,

    Restarting and using minicom i get BOOTME

    After that and trying mono it still gets stacked in

    Waiting for the DM35x... BOOTME commmand received.

    Returning ACK and header... ACK command sent.

    Waiting for BEGIN command... Target: BOOTME

    It is like if the leopard doesnt receive the ack and changes to BEGIN

    Thanks again for you hlep

  • Try to erase the NAND and FLASH uboot and ubl.

    You can search inside this forum how to do this.

  • Maybe I did not explain myself , this happens  when i try to erase the NAND and FLASH uboot and ubl.  via serial.

    Right now i am trying to use a SD card, hope it works

  • i didn't understand your problem. One possible solution is: when it breaks, switch-off and switch-on the leopard and then it erases the memory.

    Try it.
