- Excellent this is a known issue. On boot the filesystem will try to calibrate the touch screen if its calibration file is missing. This is impossible to do if you don't actually have a touchscreen. Its looking for a @pointercal@ in th...

- Hello again,
Thank you for your help so far; I have been making progress, but still stuck on the NAND boot. After booting the kernel and mounting the NFS filesystem, here is where is gets stuck:

- Looking at the diff I posted the alignment prints out in both cases. This is a normal boot printout.
From your bad log I can see the line that starts with "pvrsrvkm". I'm fairly sure this gets printed by the /etc/init.d/rc.pvr scrip... - BJ 04:00 PM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Hey Jonathan,
I tried putting a few echo statement in some of the /etc/init.d scripts, but no luck. The boot is stuck at the following line, which I don't see when I am booting from NAND, mounting NFS but with the SD card in its slot:

- I would try to look to see if your nfs filesystem is trying to mount the sd card and thus causing it to hang.
Your bad boot log doesn't show the same "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)" lin... - JC 08:48 AM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- I removed the timestamps and did a diff between the two logs and they don't show much difference.

- Thanks for the logs. I don't have time to look at them today so I'll try to check them out on Monday.
- BJ 10:17 AM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Hi Jonathan,
So the NFS mount on NAND boot magically started working. I don't think I changed anything. Either way, I am still having a problem: NAND boot mount NFS filesystem ONLY when SD card is still inserted in its slot, else it f...

- JC 03:08 PM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Can you attach the full bootlog in a text file? That error is standard for kernel couldn't find root filesystem.
- BJ 02:23 PM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Jonathan,
Yes, we were able to mount the NFS root filesystem while booting from the SD card using the new MLO and u-boot files. In fact, we were also able to boot from NAND while mounting the filesystem from the SD card; its just the...

- Bindu,
I can't see anything wrong with your environment. Are you able to boot nfs while loading off the sd card with the new files? - BJ 04:18 PM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Sorry about the formatting on that last post! Yeah turns out using the new files works! The files that come on the SD card are probably not meant for NAND boot.
However, NFS filesystem mount is not working with NAND boot. Is there a s... - JC 03:01 PM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Your flashing steps look fine. Let me know if anything changes with the new files.
The new sd card image has the latest kernel and u-boot. There were several bug fixes for nand. If you look at the boot/versions.txt file it contains... - JC 02:54 PM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Can you edit your post and put the output inside pre tags. You can highlight text and hit the pre button above text box.
- BJ 02:45 PM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Jonathan,
Thank you for moving this over. Kernel version on the board is 3.2.0+. I used the MLO and uBoot file from the SD card provided with the MityARM 335x dev kit. The sizes of these files from the SD card and the link you provide... - JC 08:02 AM Software Development: RE: Booting from Nand
- Hi Bindu. Can you confirm that you are using a mlo and uboot that was built with the following config 'mityarm335x_4kpage'. Instructions are here: https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/armc8-platforms/wiki/Das_U-Boot_Port#B...
- Moving post for Bindu. Reference https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/boards/28/topics/1437?r=3602#message-3602
Hello,
Has there been any progress on this? I followed the instructions on this page: https://support.criticallink.... - JJ 02:21 PM Software Development: RE: WL1271 Calibration tool
- Greg,
Have you been able to get the wifi calibration tool running on the evaluation board?
Thanks

- Hi Bindu,
A lot has changed since this post was made. I've created you a separate thread that references this one so we can try to work out what may be wrong.
