Can't boot after running the Re-flash Procedure - OMAP 35x EVM

Hi,

I was trying to re-flash with latest kernel, I operated as guided in the GettingStarted-02.01.01.08.pdf. I did the re-flash several times because it keep respond a "Kernel panic" error after reset.

But in my last trying, after I finished the *5.4.2 Running the Re-flash Procedure*, there's no more u-boot prompt on the TeraTerm or minicom anymore.

Before that I've re-flash the board with u-boot and uImage afforded in *OMAP35x-PSP-SDK-02.01.01.08*, it works good except errors like "kernel panic".

It is still able to re-flash u-boot through UART-3, but no help.

Also I failed to boot with SD. ( maybe need to set proper environment variable first?)

This board uses Micron Memory.

Pure newbie, need help.

Thanks,

Hi Xi,

I would suggest using SD card to boot back up to u-boot. Make sure your SD card is formatted correctly. (see http://wiki.omap.com/index.php/SD/MMC_format_for_OMAP3_boot)

Also make sure the dip switches (SW-4 on main board) are set for SD boot. This should be found in the Getting Started guide.

Copy on the x-loader.bin, but rename it to mlo (see Getting Started Guide). Copy on the u-boot.bin and try to boot up.

Hopefully then you can get back to the u-boot prompt where you can re-flash again.
