[03:43] hi I am trying to get stuff running on FriendlyARM Tiny 6410. My aim is to get a usb bluetooth dongle and usb wireless dongle running on it [03:44] currently it il running the default version of linux that came with it, should I try and install ubuntu on it (if yes, how the guide asks me to run an exe, and I dont have Wndows) [03:45] Will I have to hunt for drivers, can somebody help? === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan [17:01] Hello anyone here ? [17:02] I ma having a problem installing Ubuntu on PandaBoard [17:02] First time it boot it resizes partition, but then instead of start installer it keeps rebooting forever [17:02] fwiw, tmax was having an issue w/ installer: http://pastebin.pandaboard.org/index.php/view/77105354 [17:03] * robclark thought perhaps someone here would have a better idea what is going on [17:06] robclark helped because i was getting through RS232 an error about kernel could not find uEnv.txt so i created it [17:06] and put it inside: initrd_high=0xffffffff fdt_high=0xffffffff bootcmd=fatload mmc 0:1 0x80200000 uImage; fatload mmc 0:1 0x81600000 uInitrd; bootm 0x80200000 0x81600000 bootargs=console=tty0 console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait ro text earlyprintk fixrtc nocompcache loglevel=10 ip=dhcp uenvcmd=boot [17:10] anyone ? [17:16] hello ?? :/ [17:27] that usually happens when something went wrong during the resize [17:28] when regenerating the initramfs probably [17:28] one thing you can do is to flash the image again, mount it at your host, edit the boot args and enable the console output [17:28] if you have access to your serial [17:29] then you'll get all the details about the installer and what is happening [17:30] yeah i can see everything from my PC trough console [17:30] i have reinstalled the image about 4 times [17:31] ok i have reinstalled the image again in my SD card [17:31] what should i change before put it into PandaBoard ? [17:33] when i put the img inside SD card it doesnt create uEnv.txt is that normal ? [17:34] I believe it's still using the boot.src file [17:34] ok should i try booting again ? [17:35] that's before the first boot (before resize) as it seems the resize not working properly for you [17:35] or if you just want to understand why it's rebooting [17:35] you can also change it to see what are the logs [17:36] yes i want to understand too i want to learn :D [17:36] but what i have to change ? [17:36] adding console=ttyO2,115200, remove quite and replace splash with nosplash [17:36] *quiet [17:36] so i have to create uEnv.txt again ? [17:37] dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=1 skip=72 [17:37] edit boot.script [17:37] mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.txt boot.scr [17:37] if it's not yet using uEnv.txt [17:38] yeah, still using boot.scr [17:38] yeah it says it couldnt find uEnv.txt so it uses boot.scr [17:39] mmm i dont have boot.script in FAT32 partition [17:39] that's why you have to run the dd command first [17:39] it'll remove the header and create the boot.script file [17:39] so you can properly open it with any editor [17:40] ok wait, so i have to put it in PandaBoard and let it resize first ? [17:40] i apologise i am pretty new at this and i am lerning [17:40] if you want the messages since first boot, no, you just need to add the sdcard at your host, mount first partition, generate the boot.script file, edit, and create a new boot.scr file again with mkimage [17:41] ok i have mounted the first FAT32 partition on my PC [17:41] now i have to create boot.script and what i have to put inside ? [17:42] there will be a line similar as " setenv bootargs ro elevator=noop vram=32M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 root=UUID=9d4de70e-1323-4ac9-9d3f-4ae05139f7ff fixrtc quiet splash" [17:43] edit this line, removing quiet and splash, and add "console=ttyO2,115200 nosplash loglevel=8" [17:43] then run mkimage as I said before [17:43] mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.sript boot.scr [17:43] umount it and boot the card at your pandaboard === yofel_ is now known as yofel [17:49] i am getting this mkimage: Can't read boot.script: Invalid argument [17:49] andres-nt@andres-nt:/tmp/mmc$ sudo mkimage -A arm -T script -C none -n "Ubuntu boot script" -d boot.script boot.scr [17:49] thats what i put [17:50] i have FAT32 mounted in /tmp/mmc [17:52] and when i edit boot.scr gedit warns me about it can corrupt the file if i save it because there are strange caracters [17:52] you first need to generate the boot.script file with dd [17:52] when i save it the file becomes strange it is filled whit 0 [17:52] run: dd if=boot.scr of=boot.script bs=1 skip=72 [17:53] then you'll have the boot.script file to be edited and used by mkimage [17:53] ok, but is normal what gedit tells me ? [17:53] because i can see file is corrupted when i save it whit gedit [17:54] yes, because you tried to edit the boot.scr file instead of boot.script [17:54] the boot.scr file has a special header for u-boot [17:54] that's why you need to run the dd command, that will just remove the header and create a text file called boot.script [17:54] mkimage will then turn this file into a boot.scr, adding the header again [17:54] to be valid by u-boot [17:55] hooo and i have to edit the arguments from boot.script not boot.scr right ? [17:55] yup [17:55] hooo i am starting to understand :D [17:56] ok now it worked :) [17:57] now try booting Panda ? [18:00] i have to have ethernet ?? it says waiting for ethernet connection [18:02] http://pastebin.pandaboard.org/index.php/view/44520241 [18:02] thats whatt i have it doesnt looks good :/ [18:04] it says image is corrupt [18:09] i reboot PandaBoard and now i get it [18:09] http://pastebin.pandaboard.org/index.php/view/4026588 [18:12] rsalveti ? [18:13] are u there ? [18:25] anyone ?? [19:28] somebody online ?
