Re: problems getting android to run

2010-02-19 Thread Serdar Dere
Hi Jozef,

how did you tried it?
here is a short review:
unpack contents of tar.gz to fat
run nor
boot from micro sd
that should work
--
flashing kernel.img to kernel and system.img to rootfs should also work 
(if you are able to use usb cable to flash)

master/eclair is experimental if you want to try you can do it.

Useing only sd for booting should work too, there must be an issue at 
googlecodes.
We are trying to think a new solution of the installer so we can use 
every qi we want and not reflash it everytime

 Hi,

I was trying to get adnroid running on my freerunner...

 I first tried the automated install (i put it o a fat-only sd, and then
 also on one with exactly one fat and one ext2 partition...)
 It booted, installed qi then showed a white screen and rebooted, the red
 led blinked (might be that it blinked multiple times very fast, hard to
 say..), vibrated and then stayed on the white screen

 The blink of the red led was shorter then a normal boot (I put
 in a sd card with shr on it and it booted ok, the red led blinked
 shortly (presumably for the first FAT partition) and then lighted-up for
 a longer time before the kernel came up...)


 I tried flashing the kernel and rootfs manualy through dfu-util
 (kernel.img and system.img, though I am not really sure if these are the
 right files...), but it seems that qi can't boot it.
 When trying without a sd card the red led lights up (for a longer time,
 like when I was able to  boot shr from sd), it vibrates shortly 2 times
 and nothing else happens...
 With a sd card without a usable system, it just blinks and vibrates.

 The same happens, when I flash a shr kernel and rootfs to the neo, so it
 seems to be a qi problem... (NOR u-boot boots the shr kernel just
 fine..., gets a CRC error on the android kernel, which is what I expected...)

 Then I tried loading the kernel through dfu-util directly to memory and
 booting it, this booted the kernel, displayed a logo and stayed
 there...

 Is there any way to disable the logo / enable some debug output to see
 what is going on?

 I tried  android-on-freerunner-cupcake-0.2.0-RC1.tar.gz
 and also
 android-on-freerunner-cupcake-daily-20100214.tar.bz2
   and
 android-on-freerunner-master-daily-20100210.tar.bz2
 from http://serdar-dere.net/~serdar/daily/


 the master branch doesn't have the logo, so it shows a lot of output,
 I saw a lot of nand_read_bbt: bad block... mesasges, though if I boot
 up shr, I can mount and use the mtd partition without problems...
 (or if I flash and run SHR from nand...)

 the last screenfull of messages  looked like:
 init: cannot find '/system/bin/ifconfig', disabling 'usb-ether'
 init: command 'class_start' r=0
 init: processing action 0x37c20 (boot)
 init: command 'mount' r=0
 a lot of
 init: command 'chown' r=0
 and 'setprop' r=0
 ...
 init: processing action 0x34e40 (property: persist.service.adb.enable=1)
 init: starting adbd
 init: command 'start' r =0
 s3c-ohci s3c-ohci: susped root hub

 and that it stayed there...

 Btw, for any it stayed there I usually went doing another things and
 left it few times for even an hour... So I guess it certainly wasn't
 doing anything... ;)

 Any hints / suggestions?

yes, I put the files on a fat (i tried a sd card with a single fat
partition and another with a fat and an ext2 partition),
then booted it through NOR u-boot, it started, installed qi, rebooted
and got stuck at the white screen...

it seems that qi cannot load the kernel from nand or something like
that, because it can start SHR I have on an sd card...

 flashing kernel.img to kernel and system.img to rootfs should also work 
 (if you are able to use usb cable to flash)

I tried that, but still qi can't load/start the kernel...


I wanted to at least try it, so I booted the kernel by starting NOR u-boot,
using dfu-util to upload the kernel to memory and booting it with uboot:
dfu-util  -a 0 -D kernel.img -R 
and then in uboot:
setenv bootargs ${bootargs_base} rootdelay=5 ${mtdparts} ro loglevel=8; bootm 
0x3200

(I used that some time ago to boot some of the first versions of
andoroid, as I didn't want to replace u-boot at that time ;)

This started the kernel, displayed the android/freerunner logo and
didn't go any further...


so I tried master, because that doesn't have the logo, booted it in the
same way and it stopped with the output I wrote in the original mail...
