Great news Leonid! Thanks for the detailed error messages.

Bob,
That was the problem. It's booting now.
Thanks everybody,

Leonid,
One more suggestion: did you untar the sample filesystem as root? Or did you untar it as a normal user?
For example (you'll need to adjust the filesystem.tgz location and name):

Tim,
It does boot with a MLO and uboot built from the repository. Just need to put our
SPI changes back in.
Thanks,

Ok Tim,
I'll pull that in and give it a try.

The error message you see about "Error - Factory Configuration Invalid" is because the u-boot you downloaded is too old (sorry about that)
and it doesn't understand the new factory config block.
We are in the midst of updating "e...

The error is using the latest mlo and uboot from the Critical Link website.

All the 3352 based modules use DDR3, so will all require the new u-boot.

Just to add some more info. We tried booting from three different 3352 modules and
they all have the same issue.

You should pull the latest from the AM335XPSP_04.06.00.08 branch on our git repo.
Support for the DDR3 memory configurations came along with a "base update" to the
newer PSP uboot.
cheers

Hi Mike,
OK, those numbers were for the CPU running at 500 MHz. The speed of the CPU may change based on what power management scheme (the CPU governor) that is selected in the kernel configuration.
Our default kernel selects "per...

Lenoid,
It might be helpful to put the filesystem on an SD card and make sure it boots from there.

Hi All,
I agree, it looks like the original issue is fixed and now problem is happenning after mounting nfs. Probably, when *init* is running. I tried to play with *init=* commands in u-boot, but it didn't help.

On your host, can you type "sudo exportfs" and list the results?

JC 08:41 AM Software Development: RE: NFS configuration
Leonid,
It looks like nfs may be mounting. I'd expect an error similar to below if it didn't. Is the filesystem on the nfs server the same as the one on the sd card? How was it created?

MW 07:53 AM PCB Development: RE: EMC Emissions from MityArm 335X MOdule
Hi Mike,
Hold on on that last post. We were looking at the numbers and something does not look correct (there should not be a 2 GHz clock or a 1 GHz clock, and the CPU should be running at 700 MHz).
I may have posted this premat...

Hi Mike,
We needed to enable a kernel flag here. Here is a dump of the PLL derived clock tree from our dev kit. Most of these frequencies don't leave the CPU. The frequencies should be the same for you with the exception of perhaps...

Hi Mike,
I had our lead software engineer try to dump the clock tree per the information you provided but he could not access it.
I would appreciate if you could set up a rig and help us through it.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
The module has 2 crystals on it, a 24 MHz (connected to ARM) and a 32 KHz (connected to PMIC).
I don't know off-hand what the switching supply freqencies are on the PMIC, but I would think they aren't above 2 MHz (probably...

Hi,
We have done a number of EMC frequency scans on our product using the MityArm 3352-GX-X27-RC module. There are a couple of frequencies that are out of specification to meet the IEC 61000-6-3 Emissions for Residential Environments....

I was able to mount NFS from the card after installing nfs-utils-client using opkg
Not sure what the next step can be.

Mounting with *-t nfs* option produces the same error message.

Hello,
I am a little confused. In your posts, you show initial success using 192.168.0.144 as your server. But the failures are using 10.0.0.1 as your server. Is your server really 10.0.0.1? Many times that address is reserved for...

Adding 'eth0' as a device in ip=... does stop system from searching for DHCP.

Can you try specifying "eth0"? It looks like you have a USB network gadget compiled in (or our default kernel does), from https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt,

My first post contains command line and fragment of boot sequence. It does match what I expected.
The full boot sequence for the NFS case and static IP is attached as a file:

MW 03:17 PM Software Development: RE: NFS configuration
When the unit boots, it prints out the command line it thinks it receives early in the boot sequence. Can you verify that that command line matches what you expect?
Can you capture the boot log and post it here?
