New Adeneo WEC2013 image for AM335X Starter Kit

Hi Lorenzo

Do you have any outputs on the serial debug port accessible throught micro USB connector identified as USB0 on the PCB ?

Did you launch the SDCard bootutility application with the Administrator rights ? Which version of Windows are you running on your development machine ?

Hi.

Actually Windows does not detect any serial port (CDC) usb device during boot, but after a while just a "SUBARCTIC" device, whose drivers cannot be located, anyway.

I ran SDCard boot utility as administrator on Win8 64 machine. I used a 2Gb SDCard with a single FAT16 partition (with default cluster size), where I can find the 3 files written by utility.

Thanks.

Hello Lorenzo,

I know that some of my coworkers get troubles with SDCard_Boot_utility on Windows 7 64 Bits, and i don't have experience on Windows 8 with that tool. My first solution should be to find a Windows XP machine, you can install this in a virtual machine.

You can also use sectedit, but this a dangerous tools that can destroy your hard disk boot sector, so use it at your own risk.

Thank you very much.

I will try to make SD bootable with SectEdit and keep you informed about that.

Best regards,

Lorenzo

Sadly, it doesn't work.

I tried also a second sd card, but with same results.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello,

I think the image you download was wrong.

I had a Problem with the link/image for few days and the support team said that they updated the link.

My WEC2013 boots now, but i have another Problem (with the resolution), which I Posted in this forum.

So you may want to download the Image another time and try again.

Hi.

Since adeneo portal login doesn't work at this time, could you please share image file or a public link?

Thanks!

I finally succedeed in booting that image.

The issue was due to some partition/filesystem weirdness of my sd cards (I still don't know exactly what) that prevented ing TI_SDCard_boot_utility_v1_0 to correctly alter MBR. Maybe it depends on partition size or on cluster size? My first 2 attempts used 2Gb samsung and sandisk sd cards with a single FAT16 partition with 32Kb cluster size.

Working on one of the 2 sd cards provided with kit (the one with linux starter ware image) I managed to flash binary WEC2013 image on first FAT partition and board finally booted.

Thanks!
