Hi cnut, sorry for not jumping into this earlier. Had too much to do with seasonal illness...

I just tried this with a working GTA04: * remove battery * remove µSD card * plug in USB cable to an USB port of an ARM based SBC (OMAP5EVM but should not matter) * press AUX button * insert battery to trigger boot (although USB power is there, it is limited to 100mA which is not enough to start the OMAP) * look at dmesg of the host This is what I got: [ 151.391281] usb 1-2.1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-omap [ 151.542367] usb 1-2.1: unable to get BOS descriptor [ 151.548622] usb 1-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0451, idProduct=d00e [ 151.555925] usb 1-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=33, Product=37, SerialNumber=0 [ 151.563849] usb 1-2.1: Product: OMAP3630 [ 151.567959] usb 1-2.1: Manufacturer: Texas Instruments > I did not find anything like idVendor=0451, OMAP, Texas Instrurments. > > I charged the battery for ca. 2 hours in a gta02 to be sure that there is > enough power, and put the battery in the gta04.

Without AUX button there is no USB report (except that my GTA04 boots from NAND). Also, inserting battery first (with or without AUX button) and then plugging the cable doesn't show a signal but boots from NAND (and then there is no USB activity). The reason is that the AUX button modifies the power-on boot sequence from NAND -> USB -> UART -> MMC to USB -> UART -> MMC -> NAND See: http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/downloads/54/ Probably a wrong sequence of USB cable and battery insert makes the USB enumeration fail. > > > A small thing that confuses me: > In the README file in spl-dfu-gta04a4.tar.gz is written, that for non root > users the "dfu-gta04.rules has to be copied into /etc/udev/rules.d".

Yes, the RS232 serial console cable would be the easiest approach to look what the device is doing/reporting. But if you don't have it, it does not help. Do you by any chance know when you did last time flash the boot loader? There might be something incompatible with old and latest versions we don't know yet. Maybe the u-boot environment of an old boot loader in NAND flash breaks booting a new one and must be reset (which does not work if the device does not boot). In that case you could try to reflash or completely boot the old boot loader from an µSD where the old boot loader is stored on. We have an archive of all boot loader binaries and sources: http://download.goldelico.com/letux-u-boot/GTA04/ and http://download.goldelico.com/gta04-u-boot/ but without roughly knowing the version it is difficult to guess and write instructions for preparing an µSD for that. Ah, maybe the S/N of your device could help to find out the production date. >>> >>> > 1. clone my omap-utils fork... >>> > 2. do a make >> [...] >>> /bin/sh: 1: pkg-config: not found >>> src/pusb.c:45:20: fatal error: libusb.h: No such file or directory >>> #include <libusb.h> >>> ^ >> apt-get install pkg-config >> Regards, >> Andreas BR, Nikolaus _______________________________________________ Gta04-owner mailing list Gta04-owner@goldelico.com http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/gta04-owner
