Steve, You are correct. With the "loady" I'm able to download the images directly from minicom. Here is what I did EVM # loady Then in minicom I send the file /uImage.Now the image is updated; I can go ahead with NAND write procedures after then. I thank you a lot for this update Cheers, Deepak

Make sure the ymodem binary is available as well. Minicom may not give you an error even if it is not installed. Deepak Shankar-TLS,Chennai. wrote: Hi Josh, Thanks a lot for update. I am trying the kermit mode - I did the following EVM # loadb Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x80700000 at 115200bps Then in my minicom I did a Ctrl-A Z and choose the uImage in location /uImage After this there is no more activity in the EVM# prompt. Should the uImage be put in some specific path or so?

I'm not sure about the Davinci (I haven't tried yet). But on other projects, using the Gumstix processor, I was able to transfer the kernel using Uboots Kermit serial protocol. I would think you could do the same for U-boot. Josh From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sp.com] On Behalf Of Deepak Shankar-TLS,Chennai. Sent: Monday, September 15, 2008 10:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Kernel update through serial port. Hi, I'm a newbie to both Linux and davinci. Could someone tell me if its possible to update the U-Boot and the Kernel through the serial download. My target board does not have an Ethernet port and it would not be possible to me to do a tftp on it. So the only possibility is JTAG, and I'm interested in onfield upgrades. Please note, I'm not referring to the booting Linux from UART- but to update the U-boot and the Kernel present in the NAND through UART. Do we have to do some tailoring in the U-boot coming with the standard dvevm. Any other pointers are greatly welcome Cheers, Deepak Shankar V DISCLAIMER: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
