I bumped the enter key after typing "nand erase" in u-boot, and this wipes everything clean. I'm trying to get u-boot loaded again by following the second procedure documented at https://www.ridgerun.com/developer/wiki/index.php/RidgeRun_SDK_Technical_FAQ#No_icache_command_at_uboot.
The Leo368 boots from the SD card, and I have an active RR shell. Unfortunately, the instructions state "Let the system boot and follow the indicated steps at the LeopardBoard console" but this never happens. I'm just sitting at a console. Any ideas?
Since my build machine and my desktop are separate, I used socat to create a network serial port, and try the serial method. I ran "make installbootloader PORT=/tmp/vmodem0". It appeared to work: http://pastebin.com/sxY8iRsn.
However, flipping the dip switch back to nand boot produces no u-boot console. Can I make "make installbootloader" more verbose so I can see if there are any uncaught errors?
Also, the tftp logs show that the files were transferred:

Hi,
"The Let the system boot and follow the indicated steps at the LeopardBoard Console" is for the installer SD, the installer SD will install:
Bootloader
Kernel
File System
If your using the correct installer SD you will see this following information at the LeopardBoard Console: http://pastebin.com/57iYM6qW
After pressing Enter the installer SD will install kernel file system and bootloader, part of the information displayed will be: http://pastebin.com/wDUY2rn8
And finally the steps indicated by the LeopardBoard console are: http://pastebin.com/NhnAYgfx
The installer SD can be downloaded at http://www.ridgerun.com/downloadcenter.shtml there's a short registration process

Carlos,
Clearly I have a different SD image. I fetched mine from the link I received in the registration email. The filename is Leo365Eval2011Q2_SD.zip and the md5 sum is 9e2f45bbb523d9296d49ccef769a30de.
Is the appropriate SD image hosted elsewhere?
-M
In the download directory, there are 3 images:
Leo365Eval2011Q2_JFFS2.zip
Leo365Eval2011Q2_RTSP.zip
Leo365Eval2011Q2_SD.zip
I think that the SD installer image is missing.
Sorry about the problem with the names, your looking for the: Leo365Eval2011Q2_JFFS2.zip
JFFS2 because it will install a JFFS2 file system, also kernel and bootloader
Regards
I grabbed the jffs2 image, wrote it to the SD card and booted from it. Here's what I see: http://pastebin.com/FqpcaCEV
This fails in the same way the other methods have failed. I noticed that the Leopardboard 365 has a Samsung flash chip and the Leopardboard 368 has a larger Micron chip. Is it possible that the Micron MT29F2G08AA requires unlocking of flash?
The flash chip is not write protected -- I verified by toggling gpio59 and attempting to erase. However, u-boot may be using the davinci_nand driver, which supports the samsung chip only. Is there more current source available? I don't think that the u-boot source I have matches what was originally on the board.
The original u-boot environment says that the version was "ver=U-Boot 1.3.4-svn31 (May 25 2010 - 20:23:33)"
Help?
About the uboot version, that shouldnt be a problem, I have used the Installer SD in the Leopard DM365 and DM368, actually I just used the Installer SD to add uboot at a DM368 with a Micron chip, this is the console:

Hi Carlos, I did the nand recover with DM365_JFFS2.img and I got the same results as you but the following:
====== Installing File System...
reading fsimage.uImage
35389440 bytes read
NAND erase: Size exceeds partition or device limit
NAND write: device 0 offset 0x8a0000, size 0x21c0000
35389440 bytes written: OK
then when I reboot I got this error:
Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
List of all partitions:
1f00 4096 mtdblock0 (driver?)
1f01 4736 mtdblock1 (driver?)
No filesystem could mount root, tried: jffs2
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)
The flash memory is a Micron MT29F1G (1Gb)
do you know the problem?
many thanks in advance!
