Hi all,
I am trying to create a bootable SD card for my OMAP3530 EVM. For that I am following the following steps:
honey@honey-desktop:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc

Then I have copied MLO, uboot and uImage in order to boot partition. And I have made adjustments to SW4 switch to be able to boot from the SD card.
Tried to boot from SD card. But No print is seen on the minicom terminal. (Neither uboot is up).
I have checked in my forums, tried out various combinations, made the boot partition as W95 Fat16, W95 Fat32 etc. But neither of the option works.
I am using Kingston 4GB SD card.
Please help me find solution to my issue.
Thanks,
Honey S
