PROCESSOR-SDK-Linux-OMAPL138: Unable to Boot from SD Card

Juan A

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-OMAPL138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, OMAPL138

I have tried to generate a bootable SD card from the prebuilt images provided by the new Processor SDK package, both to get my head around building the SDK/images and to update the provided SD card which only contained the MCSDK.

We are in very early development stages, and thought it would be a good fit to use the newly released Processor SDK package for the OMAP-L138-LCDK board.

I've used the supplied bin/create_sdcard.sh script and can see no errors in creating the required partitions... There is a message stating that the MLO file was not found while copying the boot partition. Im not sure if this is important.

I then use the prepared SD card to boot the device, and I see the following messages:

MMC:   davinci: 0
Bad block table found at page 262080, version 0x01
Bad block table found at page 262016, version 0x01

** Can't read from device 0 **

** Unable to use mmc 0:1 for fatload **
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
U-Boot >

I have seen similar messages on this forum so I have tried more than one SD card...

I have also tried to use a number of different TI scripts to generate SD cards (from linux SDK package), most of which are out of data and provide incorrect parameters to sfdisk.

I have worked with beagle bone in previous projects, and did not think this would be so hard...

Would it be worthwhile providing a simple bootable ISO image file so we can simply dd into our SD card?

Here is the complete output of the create-sdcard.sh script...

This script will create a bootable SD card from custom or pre-built binaries.

The script must be run with root permissions and from the bin directory of

partitioned properly.

I have scrapped the SD card idea for now, or until someone here can help... In the meantime, I have configured TFTP boot for the kernel and an NFS share for the filesystem.

The kernel loads as expected using the TFTP server... So I think this means what I am writing to the SD card is valid.

However, Im now seeing a second error when trying to load the NFS filesystem...

VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.

I can see mount requests on the NFS server from the board (6 total, before the board gives up), but nothing ever makes it to the board. The board finally dies with...

VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.

Hi, Juan,

When you burnt the SD card, did you do the additional step for OMAP-L138 as described in the document, processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_Linux_create_SD_card_script

Hi Rex,
I have tried again with the additional dd step as requested, but I see the same results. Im pretty sure I had tried this previously, but I've gone through all the steps again to cover all bases.

After the create-sdcard.sh script runs, I burn the AIS bootloader to the SD card. I have added this as a step to the create-sdcard.sh script, which runs after the removal of the created temp directories -

if [ -e "$BOOTFILEPATH""/u-boot-omapl138-lcdk.ais" ] 
then 
    echo "Updating with AIS bootloader..." 
    sudo dd if=$BOOTFILEPATH/u-boot-omapl138-lcdk.ais of=$DRIVE seek=117 bs=512 conv=fsync 
fi

The u-boot display from the board is as follows -

This occurs on 3 different SD cards, including the one originally supplied with the LCDK.

Here is a listing of the partitions and their contents (taken from the re-imaged 4GB SD card supplied with the LCDK)

The only way I can get the board to load (somewhat) is by manually adding a uImage file to the boot partition of the SD card. Now, the only uImage I have available right now, is the one I previously built with the MCSDK... Im not expecting it succeed, but hey, uboot manages to load some Kernel! It fails at the same location as my TFTP boot & NFS attempt...

I have tried updating the u-boot commands to load zImage instead, but it is telling me it is in the wrong format (as expected I guess). I don't see a bootz command available?

If it isnt, I guess the only way to sort this out is to build my own uImage? Currently the only pre-built images I have available (from the SDK) are:

da850-evm.dtb
da850-lcdk.dtb
u-boot-omapl138-lcdk.ais
u-boot-spl.bin-omapl138-lcdk
zImage-omapl138-lcdk.bin

OK, so first attempt at building the SDK has failed...

I have followed the steps described here processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_Building_The_SDK

However, it seems that the bitbake fails to load a valid MACHINE variable and returns (note the INVALID compiler prefix) -

    Please set a valid MACHINE in your local.conf or environment

This was the result of starting the build process with MACHINE=omapl138 bitbake arago-core-tisdk-image

I have tried with a different MACHINE type (am335x-evm), and the build runs.

Unfortunately, I believe this issue deserves it's own thread... And maybe more investigation on my behalf (Im hoping I can find a list of valid MACHINE variables that bitbake can accept)

However, can someone confirm Im on the right path to at least get my LCDK to boot in accordance with the new processor SDK...

Do I need a uImage, or is there a way for uBoot to load a zImage directly? Can/Should uImage be packaged with the SDK?

So I tried burning the SD card ISO using the Windows tool provided... With the same results.

This lead me to think that the SD card wasn't being used at boot time at all...

Turns out, there was a copy of uBoot already flashed to NAND... This copy did not know how to load a zImage (bootz was not a command)...

After realising this, I changed SW1 to not allow booting from NAND but rather boot from SD! Everything seems to be working as expected now...
