DM8127 u-boot problem

I just received version_2.8.0 from appropho for DM8127 and tried to upgrade the u-boot. I followed the same commands as given in the user guide and in /binaries/update.txt. 

To burn u-boot.min.nand

tftp 0x81000000 u-boot.min.nand

nand erase 0x0 0x20000

nand write.i 0x81000000 0x0 0x20000

To burn u-boot.bin

tftp 0x81000000 u-boot.bin

nand erase 0x20000 0x60000

nand write.i 0x81000000 0x20000 0x60000

The burning took place successfuly (I got messages). But when I power reset the camera, it just shows a repeated "CCCCCCC................" message and doesn't move ahead. What is the problem? I will really appreciate any help in this regard.

Khan,

    Hi Khan,

    Sorry that the memory initialization is missing in the above commands given in update.txt, even I'm not sure if this really caused the problem, please use the commands given in the user guide henceforth:

    To burn u-boot.min.nand

    mw.b 0x81000000 0xFF 0x20000

    tftp 0x81000000 u-boot.min.nand

    nand erase 0x0 0x20000

    nand write.i 0x81000000 0x0 0x20000

    To burn u-boot.bin

    mw.b 0x81000000 0xFF 0x60000

    tftp 0x81000000 u-boot.bin

    nand erase 0x20000 0x60000

    nand write.i 0x81000000 0x20000 0x60000

     

    Now, the camera shows CCC means it cannot find a valid UBL, and it's waiting for loading UBL from UART.

    If you have CCS installed you can refer to the section 1.5.1 in the user guide to flash UBL using CCS.

    Otherwise, you can also transfer UBL via minicom or teraterm. When the camera is printing CCC, from TeraTerm Menu click "File -> Transfer -> Kermit -> Send". Select the 1st stage u-boot image "u-boot.min.nand" and click "OPEN" button. The camera will receive and load this UBL automatically (but not burned to flash) and you will get the UBL prompt again. From there you can follow the section 1.5.2.

    Hi!

     

    The exact same thing happened to me: trying to upgrade u-boot from 2.8.0  via tftp from u-boot --> camer print CCCC

    The only difference is I did not forget memory initialization.

    Khan, were you able to recover u-boot? 

    I was able to boot ubl over UART with minicom. I uploaded u-boot as well, but when I try to load it, it hangs.

    This is what I do, and what I get:

     

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    NAND: HW ECC BCH8 Selected

    MMC: OMAP SD/MMC: 0

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

     System hangs here.

    What could be the problem?

    Thanks in advance!
