[SOLVED] boot failure after finish simple test

Galax · ‎09-22-2011

Hello,

when I try to boot over network it fails with:

PowerPrep start initialize power...
Battery Voltage = 4.24V

finish simple test

Sometimes it stops here, sometimes it reboots in an infinte loop.

I don't understand if it's an hardware problem or if I'm wrong in crosscompilation because the SDs Demo (Linux and CE) work perfectly.

Sorry for my English

Thank you

I solved out the problem!

When I burned the Sd Card I selected Using MDDR at boot stream option in Package list and this is not correct to boot over network.

After when I DEselected the Using MDDR at boot stream option I did not regenerate the output boot stream images
with ./ltib -p boot_stream.spec -f command.

Thanks to everybody!

Thank you very much!

As I know, the script from http://imxcommunity.org/forum/topics/creating-bootable-sd-for-linux... is the latest and is correct

Thanks to everybody for yours replies.

I've found that the problem is about the mk_mx28_sd/mk_hdr.sh scripts or about my host because using an Adeneo's virtual machine (Ubuntu 10.10) it works fine.(In this machine, the two Adeneo's scripts are not the same of the attachment, see below).

So my board it's not broken, it's a problem of my host.

May I ask you what machine is better to use to setup the host for the i.mx28 demo board?

Now I use an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64Bits.

In the documentation Freescale certificates Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 but now they're not supported already.

Where can I find the right mk_mx28_sd/mk_hdr.sh scripts?
Following Daiane Angiolini's link I've found this scripts(see attchments).
Are they correct?
Also are they correct just with some Linux distros or with every distros?

Thanks to everybody and congratulations for this active community and it works.

This is simple bcos of you DDR2 memery access fail. If your memory access have problem, how can you go further.

Your code pass power_prep but stop when boot_prep. Check code in Ltib, imx-bootlet package.

Make sure your DDR2 works.

daiane_angolini · ‎09-23-2011

Please, take a look on this

http://imxcommunity.org/forum/topics/creating-bootable-sd-for-linux-on-imx28-evm

Your error is not caused by any LTIB mistake. I mean, you don´t reach even kernel. You need to keep your eyes on bootloader.

I believe you want to load u-boot from SDCard, but your sdcard may be corrupted. In this case, you will reach the other bootloader from imx28 memory (sorry, I forgot it name).

I will look for something else on some documentation. Please, try the latest script to create SDCard and let me know.

Hello Alessandro,

Given the powerprep debug information, you must be on your own board and if standard SD image work, you have probably same DDR2 as on EVK. So why are you using mDDR option in ltib ? This send a define to bootprep to initialised you EMI ctrl for mobile DDR (cf init-mx28.c) which explain all the errors in the memory access test.

Best Regards, ZF.

First of all thank you for you reply!
I'm so sorry...you are right.

I'm working on a imx28 with an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 Bit machine (Not virtual machine).
I'm working with the L2.6.35_10.12.01_SDK_source_bundle.tar.gz.

Suddenly simple test reports a lot of errors but just with my sd to boot over network.

So I decided to reconfigure ltib, I'm not an expert yet.

I did in terminal:

./ltib -m distclean
./ltib -c

I selected platform type imx28 and Minimum bootable root filesystem packages profile
After I changed:
Toolchain (ARMv5te gcc-4.1.2,Multi-lib,gnueabi/glibc-2.5-nptl-3)
In package list I've deselected imx-test e imx-lib and I've selected Using MDDR at boot stream
In target options configuration I've selected start networking(no dhcp, just enabled eth0)
In target Image generation I've changed Target image in ext2.gz ramdisk.

I left all other options as I found it (see attachment)
I've saved and crosscompilation started.

I flashed the SD with the script mk_mx28_sd with the command
./mk_mx28_sd -u /dev/sdc
I attach the output.

Note: I've to comment line 224 to use mk_mx28_sd script. I've found it on the net.

I've inserted the sd card in the socket 0 with 1001 DIP switch combination, I've attached debag uart and lan ethernet cable in the lower connector.

I've opened minicom and pressed the power button.
That's the output:

PowerPrep start initialize power...
Battery Voltage = 4.24V
boot from battery. 5v input not detected

......other error............

0x000003E6 error value 0x000003D7
0x000003E7 error value 0x000003D8
finish simple test

Sometimes it stops here, sometimes it reboots in an infinte loop.

It's so strange because if I use the demo Sdcard with linux and Win CE it works.
In Linux Sd Card'system if I launch the top command I can see the Giga of RAM.

I don't undestand where I'm wrong and what memory is corrupted.
I've tried with another SD card but I've got the same errors.

For more accurate details see attachment.
Any help is appreciated
Thank you very much.

PS:Sorry for my terrible English

daiane_angolini · ‎09-22-2011

Sorry.

I did not understand which is your board?

What is your bootloader?

What was the steps you followed, in case I would reprocude it?

Please, when you ask something you should give as much information as possible, otherwise, nobody will help you.
