SD Card Boot

SD Card Boot

This question is not answered

Hi,

    I am a newbie to Leopardboard and I am using the DM365. As mentioned in the Ridge runner SDK I  have attempted to load the image through SD Card. But when I configure the Leopardboard to boot from SD card and switch on - nothing is displayed on the serial console (Connected via minicom). What could be the reason? . Can some one guide me.

regards

mnc

    I can see on serial terminal of minicom these messages:

    1 - boot; 2 - install; 3 - erase flash, 4 - nand boot, 5 - test first 16MB of RAM

    u - install ubl only, d - nand flash dump

    Unfortunately the install process doesn't work yet but I hope I can manage also this.

    Good luck

  • Thanks for your reply. Yes there was a problem in the formatting of my sd card. And I retried the whole thing now. I could Boot from SD card.
