AM3358 EVM Starterware Problems

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3358

I am trying to get the starterware demo application running on my AM3358 EVM. I followed the instructions to a tee, but still nothing is working. This is what I did:

1) I connected a null modem cable from my PC to the EVM

2) Opened Tera Term and configured properly

3) I used the TI_SDCard_boot_utility app to load the MLO and app file that comes with the Starterware package

4) I inserted the SD card and set the EVM in the proper profiles

Nothing happens when I turned the EVM on. I tried several different boot profiles because there was some discrepency on the SW3 switch

Does anyone have experience doing this?

    For two year, this question is still unanswered?  (I am wondering !!)

    I am having the same problem, if you got answer, please let me know - appreciated.

    The evm runs the Android and Linux SD that came with the package without any problem, and we have been building a significant number of pilot units based on AM335x, but based on either a more rigid in-house or third party plateform.  I thought it will be good to build on CCS and get more flexibility and options, and leverage on starterware.  But it just does not work.  I followed the exact steps in quickstart guide and "booting and flashing", the evm does not boot, On the hyperterminal, it prints CCCCCC(pause a few minutes)CCCCCC(Pause)...  I don't know what it's doing.

    With the same setup and the same SD, I copied the Android files onto the SD, it boots with no problem.

    So either TI's starter guide is incorrect, or the starterware files are incorrect. Whatever it is, i am surprise TI has not updated the online document for two years!!

    TI support team, any help?

    This usually means there is a problem with your boot device (the one where CPU tries to find MLO file). Either the boot device selected by your boot-pins is not available (or the boot-pin-configuration is wrong) or the boot-device is not accessible for some reason.
