Unable to boot kernel

Unable to boot kernel

This question is answered

Hi there,

I just got the board and I followed the instructions for building a kernel image

but the board hangs at Starting kernel... see below.

NAND read: device 0 offset 0xc800000, size 0x800
 2048 bytes read: OK
Current firmware update flag is 0xffffffff
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

Loading from NAND 256MiB 3,3V 8-bit, offset 0x400000

  • OK.. I had to replace the default bootloader with the one compiled within the RidgeRun SDK. Now it boots ok.
