Trying to run GeexBox on iMx6 . Getting problem while mounting root file system.....

[brajeshsharma]

Hello Members ,

I am trying to get Geexbox onto iMx6 , for that i am using Openbricks sdk which have given me the kernel image and rootfile system . Before trying the iMx6 with rootfs of openbricks i have tested it with the rootfs provided by freescale and the sabresd board is able to comfortably booting , loading kernel and mounting rootfs . But when i try the same thing with rootfs i got from Openbricks it got stuck right after the following line .

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

"VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:12.

Freeing init memory: 168K"

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

It doesnt respond after these lines . How do i fix it and get the prompt as i am getting with freescale rootfs ?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Brajesh,

The problem of "VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:12" is caused by network. You should restart the nfs service:

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

Hope this can help you~~

Best Regards

Hi Dan ,

Thanks a lot for replying to my query . As you suggested i'v restarted the

nfs-server few times but still it is stuck at that point though there is no

such problem when i try with rootfs provided by freescale .

Do you have an idea what might be the problem here ?

Thanks & Regards

I was trying the same thing with root file system of geexbox for Cubox on

sabreSD since both have same imx6q but exactly same output came and stuck

at

"VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem) on device 0:12.

Freeing init memory: 168K"

if you have any idea about this please share !

Thanks& regards

Can you mount the same filesystem (FS) on your Linux host machine? can you boot and use the FS on a SD card?

[brajeshsharma]

Hi ,

Thanks for replying . I'v seen few user guides on how to setup SD card for

imx but all that is a bit complicated that using a NFS Server but i'll try

as you'r saying that may help . And i did'nt get you "Can you mount the

same filesystem (FS) on your Linux host machine?" . I have mounted FS on

linux machine from there i am using it as Network file system . Are you

asking me to do something else ?

I'll update soon after trying setting up the SD Card .

Thanks & Regards

Correct, you did the test I asked. Let us know the results of the SD case. How are you exporting your folder (post the /etc/exports file)?

[brajeshsharma]

Hi ,

As you asked i have tried to set up SD card also but no response from

Sabre. So after that i just loaded the card with u-boot image only by dd

command , but when i insert it in board no response at all though i am sure

boot switch mode is right since other card with u-boot is giving the u-boot

prompt but i dont have any idea how that card was partitioned or set-up .

Need suggestion on it from you since i am stuck in here since long time .

Regards & Thanks

Hi ,

I am trying to set up the SD card for android boo up as given on a

freeacale page :

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-1232#jive_content_id_Additional_Resources

I have formatted and partitioned the card and loaded the images as

instructed there but still i cant get the even the bootloader . Although

there are few steps that i am confused with in the procedure . There is

no specific partition for u-boot and uImage i am copying them by dd command

in /dev/sdb by offset address and there are few more things in that page i

am having trouble with . I am trying to do this by my way or any other way

i find it on web , i'll update the results about it .

Thanks & Regards
