Problem in booting iMX51 EVK with Windows CE 6.0 image

[DeepakKukreja]

Hi,

I am trying to boot my iMX51 EVK with the Windows CE 6.0 image provided in a SD-CARD with the EVK.

Setup is as follows:

1. iMX51 EVK switches SW7 and SW8 ON to boot from SD CARD.

2. Windows CE 6.0 SD CARD connected into the bottom SD CARD socket

3. iMXEVK connected to the PC using the COM port.

4. VGA Monitor connected to EVK using a passive DVI to VGA adaptor

When I power ON my EVK,

1. I see the iMX51 flash screen on the monitor.

2. On hyper-terminal I get the below messages in the end:complete message log is attached

What could be going wrong? Why I am I getting DVI Write fail message, are there some jumper settings I might be missing.

awaiting help

Thanks and regards

It seems that the WCE600 image that comes in the SD CARD with the iMX51 EVK, has DVI Display enabled. My calculated guess is that the DVI Driver was trying to read EDID from the DVI monitor, and since I had connected a VGA monitor to the EVK (through a passive DVI-I to VGA adaptor), the driver was not able to query the monitor's EDID and display capabilities, and hence the issue.

On connecting a DVI monitor using a DVI cable the EVK loaded with the WCE600 image.

Just posting this reply myself as an aid to others who might face similar issue with the EVK.
