Re: [casper] Problems booting ROACH 1

I'd just add to check that your serial cable is a null modem "crossover"
cable rather than a straight through.

Re: [casper] Problems booting ROACH 1

2019-11-06 Thread James Smith 
Hello Sebastian,

Here's a snippet from one of our internal guides on how to set a ROACH1 up.
Check that you've got the baud rate set correctly, if you get absolutely
nothing on the serial port. You do need to configure the ROACH to boot from
the NFS.

If you get nothing on the serial port though, that could indicate that the
ROACH is faulty?


   -

   Connect the serial port of the ROACH to the Windows PC using the
   USB-to-serial converter and establish a serial connection using Putty or
   similar software (baud rate 115200). Remember to check the COM port using
   the technique described above.
   -

   Power up (or reboot) the ROACH, keeping an eye on the terminal
   -

   Press a key on to get into the UBOOT configuration. Typing help lists
   the possible commands.

Input: printenv bootcmd

Output: bootcmd=run mmcboot

   -

   Change this to run netboot

Input: setenv bootcmd run netboot

Input: saveenv

   -

   Verify that the ROACH is booting from NFS rebooting on the front panel,
   or by typing boot in U-BOOT.



   -

   Keep the serial connection open until booting is finished and you get a
   login prompt. Login to the ROACH. The default login is root with no
   password. Check that the filesystem has correctly loaded from the NFS uboot
   partition.


Regards,
James

[casper] Problems booting ROACH 1

2019-11-06 Thread Sebastian Hincapié Tarquino 
Hello all

I am currently trying to work with a ROACH 1. I'm going through the ROACH 
NFS Guide, but my ROACH isn't booting, and minicom shows nothing, also it 
won't let me execute any direct instruction o transfer files. 
I've tried booting from SD card using either 
filesystem_etch_2009-11-30.tar.bz 

 
and filesystem_etch_nfs.tar.gz 

 
from this link: 
https://casper.ssl.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/roach/sw/binaries/filesystem/ , 
but neither worked.

Do you have any idea what else could I do?

Thanks in advance
