Require help for flashing uboot and kernel image

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

I have no idea about the below things ....

I have mistral OMAP3530 board and I dont have linux PC to extract the packages.

1. Board is not booting at all i.e. stops after 'Starting OS Bootloader...' message, I require instruction, utilities and u-boot.bin for flashing the uboot.

2. I want to flash QNX image, I require steps and utilities for flashing the OS in Samsung Nand flash.

Please help me out for the same.

Thanks

  • I can help you with the flashing utility.  Go to https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/flash/frs/ and download the package that you see there.  Install the utility on a Windows PC.  Usage instructions can be found at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Flash_v1.0_User_Guide.  I'm not familiar with QNX, so I'm not sure which images you need to flash into NAND.

    Alternatively, there is a separate procedure that is documented which explains how to use something called the UART Downloader to execute u-boot on the board, and then use u-boot for flashing images to NAND flash (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_OMAP35x_DVEVM_Additional_Procedures#Downloading_U-boot_via_the_UART_Downloader).

  • Will it be possible for me to get only DownloadUtility.exe package so that I does not require any Linux PC and flash the u-boot ?

  • 1. Currently when I boot the board I am getting the below message and then it stops

    "X-Loader 1.41-Mistral
    Detected Samsung MuxOneNAND1G Flash
    Starting OS Bootloader..."

       Can I know the reason for this and procedure to resolve this ?

     

    2. I have downloaded AM35x-OMAP35x-PSP-SDK-03.00.01.06 and extracted but could not dine utilities/windows folder and hence DownloadUtility.exe.

    3. As I under stand I can use the u-boot.bin available in AM35x-OMAP35x-PSP-SDK-03.00.01.06 for flashing on the board.
