OMAP-L138 DVSDK 4.0 - SD Card Boot Fails

TommyG

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

I am trying to recreate the SD card that comes with the EVM. I followed the directions in the Software Developer's Guide. Everything seemed to work correctly up to the time of actually booting the board with the SD card installed. The first time I tried to boot the SD card the kernel seems to start booting and I get Penguin on the LCD. But, there is message that something on MMC can't be found. After some time the LCD goes all blue and no Penguin icon. Boot process is still hung. Then I power down the board and try to reboot again. This time U-Boot can't find MMC card and I get this error:

Card did not respond to voltage select!
** Can't read from device 0 **

** Unable to use mmc 0:1 for fatload **

Any idea what is going on? This has happened on 2 separate OMAP-L1 EVMs.

Tom,

I don't remember seeing the above issue, but can you please try this with new SD card ?

1) Flash the UBL in SPI as documented in SDG.

2) Re-create SD card as documented in SDG.

3) Make sure you have ran step 5 in SDG section "how to create SD card" to setup the environment variable.

Thanks

Brijesh,

Thanks for the response. I started with a new 4 GB SDHC card. Is that any problem?

I flashed both UBL and U-Boot as documented in section Flashing boot loader using serial flash utility.

I have followed step #4 in the procedure. Is there any way to tell if it was completed successfully? Here is my U-Boot environment:

Bernie has been helping me, so I think everything was done correctly. Only mod we made was that our Linux box doesn't have UART, so we needed to use USB-to-Serial converter for the connection. This required change to minicom script (if I am understanding correctly).

Regards.

I have the sam problem. I have the kernel in flash and the SDcard created with the DVSDK into the board.

Uboot enviroment:

i am facing the exact same problem. I followed the steps given in software developers guide for flashing boot loaders using serial flash and then creating the SD card..

i am getting the following in the terminal

Guys,

What is the DVSDK versions you are using, from the trace it looks like you are not using recent DVSDK releases.

We have many customer successfully able to boot via SD card.

I want to ensure what release being used.

Thanks Regards,

Velan
