Do you get the login prompt. If you get till there it is probably a hardware control issue and you can set it to no hardware control.

Please, send you env parameter.

after powerON the board and I pressed user button and hold for some time. It is booted directly from SD card with following messages. I didn’t give any additional parameters for booting

Hi,

If you read through many people have had similar issues but the most common is wrong tty port description.

Anyway, to get your environment variables.

follow the boot process till it says

Die ID #266200040000000004039f220200900f
Net: Net Initialization Skipped
No ethernet found.
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 2

When you see this press any key (enter)
you should see something like

OMAP3 beagleboard.org #

type printenv and it will print out all the bootup info that u-boot is setting up.

usually will see something like

console=ttyxx,115200n8

Depending on the release, you need to change make sure it reads ttyS2 or ttyO2.

syntax:
setenv console=ttyxx,115200n8
saveenv

Thanks

Hi,
I am using Beagle Board rev c3, i had flashed the NAND using RevC4 image. When I tried to run memory test by issuing the command mtest 0x80000000 0x81000000 0xDEADBEEF 1 to u-boot nothing happened and board got hanged, so I resetted the board by pressing reset button.
After that when I tried to boot the kernel then following error occoured…
Uncompressing Linux Kernel…
crc error
–system halted
Can anyone tell what has happened? I think RAM has got damaged!!!
