Hi All,
I'm trying to boot my LCDK from NAND based on the a tar.gz shipped with the device SD card : omapl138-lcdk-fs.tar.gz. I remove Qt stuff and other things not important for me ( I see that this FS starts from NFS without any issues ). To convert it to ext2 filesystem I use the following script :
#!/bin/sh
nfs_dir=/home/developer/nfs/arago
images_dir=/home/developer/rdm/images
rootfs_size=77824
rootfs_name="rootfs.ext2"
if [ -d "${images_dir}" ]; then
# Safe execution fo the rm -rf
cd "${images_dir}"; cd ..
rm -rf -- images
fi
mkdir --verbose "${images_dir}"
cd "${images_dir}"
dd if=/dev/zero of="${rootfs_name}" bs=1k count="${rootfs_size}"
mke2fs -F -m0 "${rootfs_name}"
mount -t ext2 "${rootfs_name}" /mnt -o loop
tar -C "${nfs_dir}" -cf - . | tar -C /mnt -xf -
umount /mnt
gzip "${rootfs_name}"
cp "${rootfs_name}".gz /tftpboot
chown -R nobody /tftpboot
chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
As a result I get a *.gz of 28 M
Then I follow the instructions from Wiki :
- Download uImage(shipped with the SD, about 2M) and copy it to the NAND partition:
U-Boot> tftp 0xc0700000 uImage U-Boot> nand erase 0x200000 0x200000 U-Boot> nand write.e 0xc0700000 0x200000 0x200000
- Download ramdisk, and copy it to NAND flash:
U-Boot> tftp 0xc1180000 rootfs.ext2.gz U-Boot> nand erase 0x400000 0x1e00000 U-Boot> nand write.e 0xc1180000 0x400000 0x1e00000
- Set up the bootargs and bootcmd environment variables to boot from NAND flash:
U-Boot> setenv bootcmd 'nand read.e 0xc1180000 0x400000 0x1e00000; nboot.e 0xc0700000 0 0x200000; bootm' U-Boot> setenv bootargs mem=32M console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd=0xc1180000,4M ip=192.168.2.10
My kernel starts Ok but then I see the following error :
" RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2 cramfs vfat msdos
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)"
I've tried a tar.gz from here
and my approach works fine, my target starts from NAND.
Any ideas of what could go wrong with SDK filesystem ? Thanks in advance...
