bring-up failure

Hello,

I am trying to use the beagleboard (revD) for some testing, but I find it real hard to use it.

I have found some binaries which enable me to get to linux prompt, but on trying to compile u-boot and kernel myself it get into several failures when booting from SD card:

  1. First I tried just to change the kernel (with the same u-boot binary - no change), I have compile the kernel with PSP 04.02.00.07:

make distclean
make omap3beagle_defconfig
make uImage

But the kernel fail to start as following:

Starting kernel …

Uncompressing Linux… done, booting the kernel.

Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000706).

Available machine support:

ID (hex) NAME
0000060a OMAP3 Beagle Board

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

  1. next thing I tried to compile u-boot:

make distclean
make omap3_beagle_config
make

But Then the u-boot fail to start:

Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.5.0 (Jun 14 2011 - 22:04:07)
Beagle Rev C5
Reading boot sector
Loading u-boot.bin from mmc

U-Boot 2010.09 (Jul 21 2013 - 14:17:04)

(And there are no more printing)

I also get the same result with the pre-built binaries in the /beagle folder of the PSP.

Is there something wrong with the above steps for booting from SD with beagleboard ?

Did anyone succeeded in running compiled u-boot/kernel with PSP 04.02.00.07 ? Should I move to older releases ?

Is it that the beagle is not the correct for use with beagleboard ? (maybe it is beaglebone )

I would appreciate any suggestion.

Regards,

Ran

Those directions are just old and out-dated..

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the link.
I am using the same instructions as in wiki, with PSP 04.02.00.07:

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm distclean
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm omap3_beagle_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm

(by the way, in the wiki it says omap3_beagle_defconfig while it should be omap3_beagle_config )

But The u-boot does not start on the beagleboard, using some binary I’ve found (revC4 image from Beagleboard:BeagleBoard - eLinux.org)
Is there any idea why I have no success in bring-up of this simple board ?

Regards,
Ran

This changed in u-boot: v2014.10

But The u-boot does not start on the beagleboard, using some binary I've
found (revC4 image from

So are you using mainline now, or are you still trying with the
ancient "PSP" crap?
