Question about setup.sh

Greg Bargerstock
Prodigy 170 points

I am having problems with my Sitara Starter Kit.

I tried to re-run the setup.sh and got to the end or it and received this message

"The boot partition doesn't appear to be mounted on the host"

I do not remember this message the first time I ran it, however I could have miss it.

What does it mean?

    Hi Greg,

    This is printed from inside the <SDK_dir>/bin/setup-uboot-env.sh script:

        #Copy uEnv.txt to the mounted /media/boot partition
        if [ ! -d /media/boot ]; then
            echo "The boot partition doesn't appear to be mounted on the host."
            echo "If you're using a virtual machine, please ensure it has been imported to Linux"
            echo "Please ensure the boot partition is mounted and run setup.sh again."
            if [ "$isBBBlack" = "y" ]; then
                echo "We have detected that you are using a BeagleBone Black. Please ensure that the Micro USB cable is plugged in."
                echo "For more information please see: "
                echo "    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_SDK_Setup_Script#BeagleBone_Black_Users"
            fi
            read -p "Press Enter to exit" pressEnter
            exit
        fi

    This means that for some reason the /boot partition of your SD card hasn't been mounted in /media/boot or isn't mounted at all.

    Please reformat your SD card using the create-sdcard.sh script included in the <SDK_dir>/bin/ folder. Please make sure you are inside the <SDK_dir>/bin folder when you run it and you run it using "sudo".

    Then try the setup.sh script again.

    Best regards,
    Miroslav

    Hi Vishal,

    Please post the output of the "mount" command. If the /boot partition is mounted you should see something like this:

    /dev/sdc1 on /media/boot type vfat

    Best regards,
    Miroslav

    Hi Miroslav,

            I solved above problem. I took images from TI vendors only and most important is that By using "Sandisk"

           SD-Card I am able to boot board.


         Presently I am facing some more problems.
         When I am running "setup.sh" script on host I am getting below message :-

    /////////////////////////////////////////////// Message on terminal after running setup.sh /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    In which directory do you want to install the target filesystem?(if this directory does not exist it will be created)
    [ /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS ]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This step will extract the target filesystem to /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS

    Note! This command requires you to have administrator priviliges (sudo access)
    on your host.
    Press return to continue
    /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS already exists
    (r) rename existing filesystem (o) overwrite existing filesystem (s) skip filesystem extraction
    [r] r
    Path for old filesystem:
    [ /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS.05202014_14.07 ]

    Successfully moved old /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS to /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS.05202014_14.07

    Successfully extracted tisdk-rootfs-am335x-evm.tar.gz to /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This step will set up the SDK to install binaries in to:
        /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS/home/root/am335x-evm

    The files will be available from /home/root/am335x-evm on the target.

    This setting can be changed later by editing Rules.make and changing the
    EXEC_DIR or DESTDIR variable (depending on your SDK).

    Press return to continue
    Rules.make edited successfully..
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This step will export your target filesystem for NFS access.

    Note! This command requires you to have administrator priviliges (sudo access)
    on your host.
    Press return to continue
    /home/vishal/ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/targetNFS already NFS exported, skipping..

     * Stopping NFS kernel daemon                                            [ OK ]

    Which directory do you want to be your tftp root directory?(if this directory does not exist it will be created for you)
    [ /tftpboot ]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This step will set up the tftp server in the /tftpboot directory.

    Note! This command requires you to have administrator priviliges (sudo access)
    on your host.
    Press return to continue
    ls: cannot access ./bin/../board-support/prebuilt-images/uImage-am335x-evm.bin: No such file or directory
    cp: missing destination file operand after `/tftpboot'
    Try `cp --help' for more information.

    Failed setup, aborting..

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////// End of Message /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    Previously, I started on SDKv7 but now switch back on SDKv5.05.

    In above highlighted lines on Messages I am facing problem.

    Please Suggest me how to resolve above problems.

    Thanks a lot for helping.....

    Vishal,

    Try to edit the /etc/exports file on your host PC and remove the unnecessary entries.

    Best regards,
    Miroslav
