Hi,
I’m still unable to mount the ubifs root filesystem from nand after flashing on my C5 board.
Here are the steps that I went through to do the flashing:
1. Narcissus ubifs image
Downloaded the narcissus ubifs image for beagleboard validation gnome image.
Selected “Beagleboard validation GNOME image” under Platform specific packages.
Narcissus didn’t give me a .ubi image, but just the ubifs (beagle-validation-image-beagleboard.ubifs).
So I had run a ubinize with the following command:
ubinize -o beagle-validation.ubi -m 2048 -p 128KiB -s 512 ubinize.cfg
The following is my ubinize.cfg:
[ubifs]
mode=ubi
image=beagle-validation-image-beagleboard.ubifs
vol_id=0
vol_type=dynamic
vol_name=beagleboard-rootfs
vol_flags=autoresize
I copied the .ubi, x-loader and U-boot to the /boot of the SDCard’s ext3 partition.
2. Splitting of .ubi
As the UBI is too big to fit in RAM, I’m splitting it as follows:
dd if=beagle-validation.ubi of=beagle-validation-1.ubi bs=4k count=$((256 * 200))
dd if=beagle-validation.ubi of=beagle-validation-2.ubi bs=4k skip=$((256 * 200))
3. Flashing using U-boot
The following is my uEnv.txt
writemlo=fatload mmc 0 82000000 MLO;nandecc hw;nand erase.part x-loader;nand write 82000000 0 ${filesize}
writeuboot=fatload mmc 0 82000000 u-boot.bin;nandecc sw;nand erase 80000 160000;nand write 82000000 80000 160000
writeuimage=ext2load mmc 0:2 82000000 /boot/uImage;nandecc sw;nand erase 280000 400000;nand write 82000000 280000 400000
writeub1=ext2load mmc 0:2 82000000 /boot/beagle-validation-1.ubi;nandecc sw;nand erase.part fs;nand write.e 82000000 0x680000 ${filesize}
writeub2=ext2load mmc 0:2 82000000 /boot/beagle-validation-2.ubi;nandecc sw;nand write.e 82000000 0xce80000 ${filesize}
writeenv=setenv nandrootfstype ubifs;setenv nandroot ‘ubi0:beagleboard-rootfs ubi.mtd=4’;setenv uenvcmd run nandboot;saveenv
uenvcmd=mtdparts default;run writemlo;run writeuboot;run writeuimage;run writeub1;run writeub2;run writeenv;echo Remove SD card and reboot
On boot power up, MLO, u-boot, the u-boot env , uImage, and the .ubi get flashed to the default nand partitions.
4. remove the card and reset,
MLO, U-boot and uImage load from nand and execute fine, however the kernel panics when trying to mount the root filesystem:
