Hi, I'm very new to Linux and porting OS.I'm using BeagleBoard- XM .

Let me tel you what i have done.

1. I have downloaded ti- SDK from http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/am_bu/sdk/BeagleBoardSDK/latest/index_FDS.html and installed on Ubuntu 10.04 host machine.

2.I have made 3 partitions boot,rootfs,Start_Here.

3.In SDK from pre-built images folder i copied MLO,Uboot and uImage files in to boot partion.

4.Then i directly untarred rootfs file in to rootfs partition of SDcard.

5.Then copied ti-SDK install file in to Start_Here partition.

Now if i place SDcard on to BeagleBoard-XM and power up it is not booting.Please helpout in this.

    I believe you made sure that the first partition where MLO, U-boot.bin are present is bootable partition. Also, you may want to repeat this steps again and try.

    If still problem remains then I would suggest you to use either of of

    1) Use script available at - http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/mkcard.txt

    2) Use HP format utility (v2.0.6) on Window's host machine (this I always use). Please note that, this will format whole SD card and will create only one partition, you can atleast verify boot with this.

    Can you post the output you are seeing when trying to boot the SD card?  Also, did you extract the root file system using sudo?

    Are you getting any characters on the console? You should atleast get "CCCC....", which ROM code prints if it fails to read the boot partition.

    Can you cross check your serial setup is correct and there is not issues with cable and port perspective?

    Thanks,

    Im gettting something junnk like this

     04 01 05 01 36 30 07 07 13 02 01 00 12 15 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 14 15 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (hex values).

    Im sure that serial setup is correct. If i replace MLO,uboot from other third party keeping uImage of TI it is booting.

    Thanks,
