Boot Problem:FEC: Link is down 7949

vishvapathi — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 04:03:13 GMT

finished compiling LTIB on Ubuntu 12.04. Copied bootloader, uImage and rootfs files in sdcard as per the LTIB document. When i power ON the EVB connecting via serial port getting below problem.

your log saying that it is looking for the kernel image through network so change the ip to none and set the environmental variable to sdcard.then this will work.refer their Linux_user guide.pdf.

Hi Guru,

I tried to Hit any key to stop auto-boot but not getting any response for any key press, its starting to display Link is down 7949 repeatedly.

When i insert the android SD card which came along it works fine. I dont think booting from SD is the problem, plz correct me if i am wrong...

hello,Vishvapathi,

Please use print command on u-boot command line to show u-boot environment , then paste them here. let us check them.

It seems that settings is configured as booting from tftp and NFS. If it is like this, we should adjust environment or set up tftp and nfs on linux host.

Regards,

Weidong

Hi Weidong,

I am not getting the Uboot command line. the console starts printing FEC: Linik is Down 7949 continuously. I tried to Hit any key to stop auto-boot but not getting any response for any key press, its starting to display Link is down 7949 repeatedly. When i insert the android SD card which came along it works fine

Hello,Vishvapathi,

Please check the header file for your board, it should be in u-boot/include/configs/, Mine is mx6solo_sabresd.h, I can't confirm your file's name. find it and open it, then search "CONFIG_EXTRA_SETTINGS", all default environments parameters are defined here, so paste them here. Let me see .

Then we modify default environment and continue to test !

Regards,

Weidong

gurumoorthirasi — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 09:47:04 GMT

"bootcmd=run bootcmd_net\0"

the above line in code change _net replace with _mmc .

"bootargs_mmc=setenv bootargs ${bootargs} ip=dhcp "

"root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait\0"

the above line change the ip=none.

Re: Boot Problem:FEC: Link is down 7949

weidong_sun — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 09:48:13 GMT

Hello,Vishvapathi

Please modify last sentence: bootcmd=run bootcmd_net .

Change it to "bootcmd=run bootcmd_mmc"

save and exit, and re-complie u-boot. continue to test !

Hello,Vishvapathi,

It seems that u-boot didn't read linux kernel . please try to adjust environment:

u-boot > setenv bootargs_mmc 'run bootargs_base bootargs_mmc;mmc dev2;mmc read ${loadaddr} 0x800 0x2000;bootm'

u-boot > save

-----------------------------------------------

<note: please notice which eMMC port you are using mmc dev2 means uSDHC3 port. If errors still exist, you can modify dev number>

Hi Weidong,

If i modify dev no also getting same error.. below are the commands i issued to set env

setenv loadaddr 0x10800000

setenv bootargs_base 'setenv bootargs console=ttymxc3,115200'

setenv bootargs_mmc 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rw

setenv bootcmd_mmc 'run bootargs_base bootargs_mmc;mmc dev1;mmc read ${loadaddr} 0x800 0x2000;bootm'

setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_mmc'

saveenv

run bootcmd

for my mmcinfo command below is the response

I am a newbie, plz correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks in advance
