Boot problem

[hitom]

Hello together

I work with the MCIMX6Q-SDB, the board runs well with android image on the sd card.

My next steps:

- Install Ubuntu 9.04 like "Setting up a Linux Host for LTIB Builds on Ubuntu 9.04"

- Installing LTIB like "User manual"

- Creating SD Cart like "Using a Linux Host to Set Up an SD/MMC Card"

After booting the following output occurs:

Hello,Thomas,

       It seems that the environment in u-boot has been set to boot from TFTP and NFS. But TFTP server and NFS server can't be found in your ubuntu host.

       So I suggest you check environment setting in u-boot.

Thank you for your replies, unfortunately I had in the past few days no time for the board, but now I am faced with a new problem, have reconfigured the boot loader, now the rootfs seemingly cannot be loaded, I followed the User Guide exactly, enclose the error output during boot:

VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p1" or unknown-block(179,1)

Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:

b300         7757824 mmcblk0  driver: mmcblk

b308            2048 mmcblk0boot0  (driver?)

Big thanks in advance!

have you tried setting root=/dev/mmcblk1p1? The device /dev/mmcblk1p1 represents the SD card, were the rootfs is locate.

Leo

[weidong_sun · Accepted solution]

Ok, Answer based on what Leonardo replied :

     Thomas, you can boot your board via NFS, then check if /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk0p1 devives are both in path /dev/.

     If they both exist , use command "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 part1"(Let me you assume you have a part1 directory)
to mount device to system, see following :

--On console---

#cd /mnt

#mkdir part1

#mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 ./part1

#cd part1

then using ls command to check if rootfs is normal. If it is abnormal, you can re-copy it . in your HOST ubuntu, assume your NFS directory is /opt/nfsroot/, using mkdir command to create a temp director, such as temp_rootfs, and compress ~/ltib/rootfs/* to rootfs.tar.gz , then copy rootfs.tar.gz to ./temp_rootfs.

1. On Host ubuntu:

#cd /opt/nfsroot

#mkdir temp_rootfs

#cd temp_root

#cp -r ~/ltib/rootfs/rootfs.tar.gz ./

2. On Console:

---format partiion1 on mmcblk0----

#mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 -o ^extent -L rootfs

#cd /mnt

#mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 ./part1

#cd ./part1

#tar --numeric-owner -zxvf /tem_rootfs/rootfs.tar.gz

<Decompress file system to mmcblk0p1 partition directly>

Then reboot your system ! Try it ,please !

Huge thanks to Weidong and Leonardo

Changing to root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 solves my issue!

@Weidong

I burned the SD Card on Ubundu command line with:

1. sudo dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=512 seek=2 skip=2 conv=fsync

2. sudo dd if=uImage of=/dev/sdd bs=512 seek=2048 conv=fsync

3. create sdd1 with fdisk

4. Format sdd1 with mkfs.ext2

5. copy rootfs to sdd1

(By the way this is the method from SABRE-SD Linux User's Guide)

Will deal also with the approach of your second answer!

Once again -> Many thanks!

Hello,Thomas,

     How did you burn images into your sd card ?  by MFG Tool2 ?

[matthiasniederm]

Hello  Thomas,

did you have set up a tftp server which provides a kernel for your board? If not do it ! Or you have to set up u-boot to boot from e.g. sdcard.

Cheers

Hello Matt

Thanks a lot, this means the board uses the uboot from the sd card, but the uboot from ltib is configured to load the kernel from net?

Thomas

[KursadOney]

Thomas - It looks like it. Stop u-boot by pressing any key and find the bootcmd_mmc command. I think you can run:

    setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_mmc'
    saveenv

to boot from the SD card.
