When booting from the MMC/SD card, it is critical that MLO be in the first sector of FAT32 partition. If you did any file updates of the partition before copying MLO, it may not go into the first sector. What finally worked for me was to reformat the FAT32 partition using Windows, and then copy MLO, uBoot, and uImage in that order. If you know a better way to ensure that MLO is first, please comment. For now it's no big deal to reformat before copying MLO, since you'll probably be updating uBoot and uImage more often. Just make sure you reformat the SD card and not your hard drive.
I am not able to boot Beagle Board. Whnen I connect Beagle board junk characters sequence is coming and it gets stop after some time.
hello, Nothing is displaying on the hyper terminal on the new beagle board,I have connected 3 wire serial port to the sytem in the windows xp and 5v is given externally and nothing is connectedother than this
I can't boot from the SD card either, though I followed the steps to copy the MLO then uboot and uImage files in that order. Besides, I noticed that the POST message would be displayed out of the serial port only when I connected the mini-USB cable to my notebook, though power is sourced from the external power adapter jack (whenever the power jack is inserted, power from mini-USB is cut off automatically). The POST message stopped with the prompt "OMAP3 beagleboard.org # ", then nothing else was displayed nor echoed no matter what I typed into "minicom".
Hi,all. I can't boot up. and I got the error:
what's the problem?hi, is there any udpate on "Comment by TangHer?, Nov 25, 2008". I too face the same.
hi
Unable to read "uImage" from mmc 0:1 reading rd-ext2.bin Unable to read "rd-ext2.bin" from mmc 0:1 Wrong Image Format for bootm command ERROR: can't get kernel image!Hi, all
To boot from MMC, don't forget to press the "user button". Ref: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#User_button
I am trying the NAND booting, have my hyper terminal on and configured, power on with my serial connected and nothing happens. Whats going on? Nothing is displaying on the screen.
I formatted an SD card as described. re-named and copied the 3 files in order. This is what I got on the terminal.
reading boot.scr Unable to read "boot.scr" from mmc 0:1 reading uImage.bin Unable to read "uImage.bin" from mmc 0:1 Booting from nand ... NAND read: device 0 offset 0x280000, size 0x400000
Wrong Image Format for bootm command ERROR: can't get kernel image! OMAP3 beagleboard.org #I get the same error starting with the "Booting from NAND...." line when the SD card isn't plugged in.
I can see the files with the "fatls mmc 0:1" command on the Beagle.
I m facing the same problem as priyank.vineet is. Does anyone has solution for this. As per my understanding i think x-loader has been erased. in case my MMC boot sequence is also not working for this board.
