Hi Guys,
I downloaded the latest u-boot and compiled it for devkit8000. But, after putting the new u-boot, my board hang after printing the “DRAM: 128”.
Does anyone here able to use the latest u-boot for devkit8000?.
Thanks,
John

Hi Thomas,
Did you re-flash the x-loader too?. I have tried updating the u-boot again but still not working.
Can I have a copy of your u-boot.bin and I will try it to my board if it’s going to work?.
Thanks,
John
Hello John,
x-loader is original from the CD. Is your board working with the bootloader from the CD?
Tomorrow I can send you my u-boot.bin
My toolchain is codesourcery 2010qX
Thomas
Yes, I used the x-loader from the CD. I re-compiled the u-boot source from the CD, flashed it and it works.
Thanks,
john
Hi Thomas,
Additional info, my board has only 128M of RAM. I am not sure if you have the 256M of RAM.
Thanks,
John

Hi Kanru,

Thanks,

Hello John,
can you come into irc freenode.net #devkit8000
What toolchain do you use?
Can you try some more versions of u-boot? Back to the early days. I think in v2009.11 the Devkit8000 is in.
Yes, I have a 128 MB version too.
Thomas
Hello Thomas,
I am using the latest codesourcery lite version.
I will try the other version tomorrow and let you know.

x-load 1.41 binary copied from CD and
u-boot 2010.06 stable compiled from

Hi Thomas,
The problem was on my host computer although, I didn’t understand why?. After rebooting my host computer and recompile the latest u-boot source, flashing it to my board then it works.
Btw, have you able to tried to power up the board on USB?
Thanks again,
john

much current.

Hi,
I have a SBC8100 (like DevKit8000). I am a poor beginner in linux. I
am looking for a ready compiled linux (MLO, uboot, uimage, filesystem
- to start from SD-Card) with drivers and a GUI - e.g. Ubuntu.
I could start the linux which was delivered with the board - but I am
not able to run the Ubuntus or Androids I found in the Internet - I
tried a lot of them.
Could any body help me?
thx
Uwe
MLO from CD,
latest stable U-Boot (2010.06) from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
and uImage 2.6.34-rc6-g8ee7837 from http://gitorious.org/devkit8000
are work for my SBC8100.
But I not sure whether it had all drivers you need.
rootfs I used is Ubuntu 10.04 minimal from http://rcn-ee.net/deb/
or custom-built by rootstock.
Do not contain GUI desktop environment packages,
like lxde or lubuntu-desktop,
or you will unable to build Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) rootfs with rootstock.
And… you should search the BeagleBoard Google Group for more info,
I had posted before.

Thank you very much - I hope, I will success 
What settings (setenv bootargs...) will I need to boot from SD-Card
with 7''-LCD?
Hello Uwe,
something like
console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext3 rootwait
