OMAP-LCDK

Hi Rahul,

Thank you so much for your answer. And the another thing is, the SD card given with my LCDK board was also missed. So, now i am having my new 2GB SD card, so what i have to do to install the packages as same as in the SD card given with the board. Is there any documents available or what steps i have to follow to setup it and the LCDK Board should boot from SD card itself.

Thanks and Regards,

 Ilayaraja.

Hi Ilayaraja,

We are in the process of archiving the steps needed to create the SD card to boot LCDK on the wikis but this might happen only by the end of this month. We do not have a pre-built SD card image archived on the wikis.

In the meantime, if your package was missing the SD card, I would recommend asking the vendor to provide this to you.

Regards,

Rahul

Hi Ilayaraja

CircuitCo has an RMA process

You can provide info here, so that they can ship you the missing SD card.

Hello,

Now, i had a doubt, that whether the bootloader(U-boot) already flashed in the NAND of LCDK is running or not, so studied about "Restoring U-Boot on Bricked LCDK through UART USB cable" , so I checked the USB connection, (it is ttyUSB0 connected to UART J3 on the board) and settings as (115200 8N1), SW1 switch no.2 as ON(for UART booting mode) and i executed this command(sudo /home/ilay/ti-sdk-omapl138-lcdk-01.00.00/host-tools/flash_utils/OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2_40/OMAP-L138/GNU/sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -targettype OMAPL138_LCDK -flashtype NAND -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -flash_noubl u-boot-lcdk_ais.bin)

it is showing as,

and after this i power cycled the board, but  it is taking much time(more than 1 hour i waited), but no result.  

And the another thing is, i am calling the "MINICOM Window" as, 

sudo minicom ttyUSB0

it is displaying as,

Welcome to minicom 2.5

Press CTRL-A Z for help on special keys

i am getting these lines in the terminal window, but after this no information about U-boot or Linux running on the LCDK. What i have to do?.

Thanks,

Ilayaraja.

Hi,

My SW1 switch setting was(switch no.2 is ON and remaining switches 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 are OFF). And my serial port name is ttyUSB0 only, no other devices are connected. Then, i think the bootloader in the LCDK is corrupted, thats why the U-boot messages are not shown in the minicom window. Now, i am trying to reboot the NAND(Reboot U-boot on Bricked LCDK through UART Cable) by using the command,

root@ilay-G41M-Combo:/home/ilay# mono /home/ilay/ti-sdk-omapl138-lcdk-01.00.00/host-tools/flash_utils/OMAP-L138_FlashAndBootUtils_2_40/OMAP-L138/GNU/sfh_OMAP-L138.exe -targettype OMAPL138_LCDK -flashtype NAND -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -flash_noubl u-boot-lcdk_ais.bin

After this i pressed the restart button, and also i switched OFF and switched ON the board, but there is no change, it still remains in that line(i have waited for more than half an hour), i don't know whether the process (flashing the NAND)  is taking place or not ???... 

Thanks,

Ilayaraja.

Hi,

Now, I made SW1 Switches 2 &4 as ON and remaining all closed, and i executed the command,

I don't understand whats the problem is?

Hi,

Thanks. Now, the bootloader is working properly. And also i booted Linux Kernel from SD Card also, it is also working properly. But the Ethernet Port i connected from my PC to the LCDK board is not showing up any ethernet connections, connection is not established between my PC and the Board, but when i connect the ethernet cable to my PC it is displaying as,

root@omapl138-lcdk:~# PHY: 0:07 - Link is Up - 100/Full

But in my PC, connection is not shown up.

Then, how can i find the IP Address of the LCDK Board? I used the command,

root@omapl138-lcdk:~# ifconfig

the following lines are displayed, in that i don't know what is the IP Address of the Board,

root@omapl138-lcdk:~# ifconfig 
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 9E:A9:0C:45:66:CE

RX bytes:872 (872.0 B) TX bytes:872 (872.0 B)

Now, what i want to do is, i have to find the IP Address of the Board, then i need to copy the "Hello World" program to LCDK by using that IP address

host $ scp hello root@<LCDK IP address>:/home/root/

 and i want to see the output from the LCDK Board.

Thanks,

Ilayaraja.

The IP address isn't set, you probably need to use DHCP or set it manually.

You might want to start a new thread in the Linux forum.
