Booting Ubuntu on L138-EVM

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hello world,

After reading many of these topics, and after following indications on hawkboard.org, I tried to install my own linux on my EVM board, either with USB or SDCARD.

Unfortunetely, after typing "bootm 0xc0700000", the image is decompressed and the system hangs waiting something ????

After that, I tried "usb reset", and the system doesn't detect any USB device

Do I have to recompile Uboot for USB booting?

 

Regards.

  • I personally haven't tried booting Ubuntu on the OMAP-L138, but there are a few wiki articles that can potentially help.

    Here is a wiki article on how to boot the filesystem from a USB drive or MMCSD card, http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_Setting_up_OMAP-L1_Target_File_System. 

    On hawkboard.org, there is a guide link that describes how to boot Ubuntu Jaunty off the USB stick.

  • Thank you Christina.

     

    In fact, Ididn't use the rigth uImage file.

    The rigth one has to be gotten at http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_tii/psp/LinuxPSP/DaVinci_03_20/03_20_00_12//exports/DaVinci-PSP-SDK-03.20.00.12.tgz

    After that just follow this link http://blog.binaerwelt.com/2010/02/ubuntu-on-the-hawkboard/

    using the rigth image uImage file.
