AM335x STARTER KIT, PROBLEM IN THE BOOT FROM TI SDCARD (LINUX AND ANDROID)

Hi,

I imported two AM335x Starter Kit from Digikey - USA and yesterday the kits arrived for me in Brazil.

The first thing I did, was followed the User´s Guide. I chose for one of the operating systems Linux or Android from TI SDCARD and power on the kit´s.

To my surprise, nothing happened, did not happen in the boot Linux and Android, but the user´s led work and power led too.

I connected the kit´s in my PC using the Serial Console in the linux Ubuntu, and the following message appeared:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U-Boot SPL 2011.09-00381-g6309768 (Jan 03 2013 - 00:20:41)

Texas Instruments Revision detection unimplemented

Incorrect magic number in EEPROM

read_eeprom() failure. continuing with ddr3

 Incorrect magic number in EEPROM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are the two hardwares with problem ? I hope not, because it is very expensive to import into Brazil and I spend much money !!!

Is my first experience with TI Products because I am using Microchip in my projects, and I never had problems with the Microchip products.

I'm hoping someone can help me, and I have not bought two weights of roles I've had more expensive (USD 900.00)

 

Thanks very much !!!

Best Regards,

 

Robison Lopes

    Hello Robson Lopes,

    There has been couple of issues reported before similar to this, this is caused due to the improper programming of the EEPROM during production.

    Please refer to the following post which talks about reprogramming the EEPROM:

    If this issue gets resolved your issue please confirm in this e-mail thread so that this will be useful others who face this kind of similar issue.

    Also please share the board serial nos. of the boards you have.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hello Benjamin Jayakumar,

    I would like to thank you for the help.

    I did all the steps of the link, and my kits are functioning, one kit is running linux and the other running android.

    I would like to describe here how to format the sdcard as a : MicroSD Card Kingston/Sandisk 4GB/8GB FAT formatted as a bootable disk

    1 - put the sdcard on the PC;
    2 - Execute the command cmd in windows;
    3 - type the command at the prompt: diskmgmt.msc
    4 - In the screen of Disk Manager, look the number of sdcard;
    5 - go back to the prompt and type these comands:
    6 - diskpart
    7 - select disk 1 (1 = the number of my sdcard in my PC, put your number here)
    8 - clean
    9 - create partition primary
    10 - select partition 1
    11 - active
    12 - format fs = fat32
    13 - assign
    14 - exit

    Now you can copy the AM335x Starter Kit test Binaries v3.2 - For Production boards 1.2B to the SDCARD (just the files, without folders).

    The Serial Numbers of my boards are: 44124P194929 and 41124P194030

    Thanks Very Much,

    Robison Lopes
