Reading a file from USB STORAGE device from U-boot in OMAPL-138 platform

Pl. verify whether the hawkboard related config is available under uboot and that usb has been enabled/configured in the config.

As I understand only OMAPL13x evm is supported in the released U-Boot package.

Sir,

I am using u-boot-omapl1_v1.tar.bz2. It is available from the link "http://code.google.com/p/hawkboard/downloads/list".

The hawkboard related config is available and able to compile and boot.

The usb has been enabled in the configuration,

I don't have a Hawkboard, but I do work on OMAP and AM parts.  The MUSB is the OTG port on those parts so I would assume the same is true for the Hawkboard.  On the OMAP3 EVM I use a cable that has mini-A on one end and a female B connector on the other end.  USB storage works fine on the OMAP3 EVM.

Steve,

the hawkboard has USB HOST and OTG port.

I have connected USB pendrive directly to USB HOST port.

Pl. connect the stick to the OTG port.

Christna Lam,

Thanks very much for correcting me....

I will try on the USB 2.0 OTG port in host mode.

Hi All,

Thanks .... reading file from usb pen drive works from u-boot layer. But, if found some problems in that,

case 1 :

the usb works, when i use uboot from "git://arago-project.org/git/people/sekhar/u-boot-omapl1.git". i have to use da50_evm configuration.

But, in that, the hawkboard kernel is not booting, even after changing the machine number. (corresponding to hawkboard)

Its getting struck at , loading kernel image.

case 2 :

if the default u-boot from hawkboard website is used, device descriptor error (-1) is coming.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear All,

              I am tring to use USB_KEYBOARD (On u-boot) through usb hub on beagle board. the communication goes like this. "omap3--> USB3320(Transciver)-->smsc 9514(usb-ethernet hub)".  from the above conversation i found you have worked on omap series. Can you suggest us,how to use usb-kbd or storage device on u-boot.  I am using u-boot-2011.06 source code as i could not find smsc related driver in the below series.

            Any one has tried this on beagle board.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Harish,

I am stuck with the same problems you faced. I cannot access USB stick from USB host.

What was the final solution you came up with?

Could you briefly explain.

Thanks,

HSMahendra

i used new bootloader as mentioned in the mailing thread and i used OTG port in host mode.

connected to hub via mini - a cable.

Hi Harish:
