OMAP5432 uevm - Fast Boot not working on ./usbboot -f

I am trying toflash eMMC image using usbboot and fastboot.

My DIP switch positions are: 0000 as required for fast boot. I have connect OMAP5432 board to Linux VM using USB cable. But when executing ./usbboot -f

The message starting in fastboot mode msg is not displayed.

I only get message waiting for device...

After I power up board, nothing happens...On minicom terminal autoboot mode starts up by default, and device doesn't goes into fastboot mode. Is there specific setting that needs to be done on target device so it enters fastboot mode.

    Hi Ankur,

    Instead of powering it up directly, can you try

    powering the board,

    executing usbboot,

    *hitting reset 

    and then observe if it changes the situation.

    ( also check if your usb connection is working (USB3port ) 

    Regards,

    Hi Boyko,

    I tried this with same effect, board enters autoboot mode with every configuration by default.

    With suggested DIP switch configuration my board should enter fastboot mode. But it boots by default and login prompt like one on screen on right appears.

    The screen on left is where I execute ./usbboot -f. The screen on right is my minicom screen. There is activity on minicom terminal so I think usb connection is working fine.


    This happens when I don't have any memory card inserted.

    With 16gb partitioned memory card inserted I get (Fig.2) output on minicom - panic occured....!!!

    I presume you have sd card  with GLSDK on it  or you put it on the emmc?

    "There is activity on minicom terminal so I think usb connection is working fine."

    You understand you must have TWO usb cables, one for the serial debug and one for the USB3 port ( for fastboot transfer)

    Hi Boyko,

    It seems the I was not using USB3.0 for setup. I installed GLSDK setup on board and did fastboot steps using USB 3.0.

    I have completed steps for fastboot on the board successfully, and final step says:

    Now reset the board and let it boot up.

    I have some confusion at this point. I am resetting board and booting up, So I get following on Serial Port

    Can I directly connect the board with HDMI monitor at this point and start Android Development ?

    Hi Boyko,

    I think minimal configuration for Android works on my board now. We can close this issue.

    Thanks a lot for help on this one.
