 It seems that the partition name Kernel in the nand no longer exists.

NOR u-boot never had a partition named Kernel it is named kernel.

Re: Making debian the default boot

2010-02-04 Thread Jose Luis Perez Diez
A Dijous, 4 de de febrer de 2010 04:21:36, Jonathan Schultz va escriure:
 Hello,
 
 Since I only ever boot my freerunner under Debian I do get pretty sick
 of having to play with the boot loader menu every time I boot. It's
 especially painful when the freerunner has crashed to the boot process
 does a disk check then (usually) reboots a 2nd time, requiring a 2nd
 intervention with the boot load.
 
 So, what I'd like to do is make the default boot (even using the NOR
 boot loader, so the real factory default) start my Debian system. The
 obvious way to do this seems to be to put a second boot loader into the
 flash which then mounts the SD and boots from there.  But I have no idea
 how to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions?



I will put Qi in the NAND boot loader. 

It's also possible to edit the environment of u-boot NAND from debian with 
uboot-envedit and nandwrite as install.sh does (http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-
fso/files.git;a=blob;f=install.sh;hb=2ba63d015b032bc41ced7b02fa3f1232cf7dbcf9)
but bear in mind that the default menu entry could boot with different vales 
than in a menu-less boot. 

It could also be edited from a PC using a cu,neocon,... when it is in the NAND 
boot menu.

 Yes, I can configure the menu. But I cannot change the menu title. So
 show me how you're flashing the FR while you are in the NAND boot
 menu.

You can flash the freeruner, whith dfu-util, from a runing U-boot on the FR   
(it is irrelevant it it has bee read from NAND or NOR) it ony needs a sane 
U-boot enviroment.

 Hello and greetings to the list.  I bought a fixed Freerunner A6 and my
 main computer is a Mac.After a few days of fiddling, I can't get some
 things to work:
 1) I had my freerunner delivered with Android, and I can't get adb to
 connect
 What I could get running was USB networking, or more precisely I get
 responses to ping.  I cannot ssh into the phone, so I may be facing an
 *illusion* of USB networking

Android don't have a ssh server:

 .
 Here are my questions:
 a) how do I setup USB networking right?  It is not completely OK with
 Android, and completely out with Qt Extended 4.4.3, and this would
 facilitate much of the fiddling (remote session using a real keyboard...)
 b) is there a bug in Qt 4.4.3 that prevents it from erasing the PIN from my
 SIM?  Is it worth it to upgrade to Qt Extended Improved?

You cannot erase the PIN ony change it or lower the security so it don't gets 
asked

 c) how do I check the GSM firmware version (may be the source of my GSM/SIM
 problems?) so I do not add another complicated task to my short-term
 objectives?

 Could you be more precise? Currently i am testing OM2009R5 an i have no

 connected with navit installation also?

Yes it could be related. Usualy the culprit is speech-dispatcher installed

 It worked perfect, until the night the battery dies. Do you think it

The first time I bricked mine all was working OK until I need to reboot the 
GTA01.


I was working with a / on uSD.
I needed a file a knew it was on NAND but in u-boot but I didn't pass the 
correct mtdparts to the kernel and mountend mtdblock I'm not sure if readonly 
took the file and unmounted mtdblock, two days latter at a reboot I found I

 The problem:
 I was unable to power on my GTA01. I removed the battery checked the
 voltage. The voltmeter shows 3.2V. I put the battery back in the GAT01
 and plugged the USB cable in the GTA01 and in my PC that was already
 running.

I will suspect a bricked GTA01, in that state acts as a power sink.

 That sounds very likely what I did. I will check the fstab entry on the sd
 card, but I'm almost certain it was mtdblock0.

 On the minus side this means I will definitely need a debug board, but at

You can also ask  on the list if is someone with a debug-board near you.

 After hooking it up to my external power supply, I'm able to see it starts

I'm sure you managed to brick your 1973, I did it myself last january, with 
the same result making it a /dev/null for charge.

I mounted /dev/mtdblock0 by accident instead of /dev/mtdblock4 (I had a bad 
$mtdparts on the sd entry) and jffs2 reclaimed some unused space. This could 
happen as resulto of this action (in the head message): 

 1) I added the onboard fs to my fstab in my SD debian install so that I
 could access it while booted into debian. 

the answer to your question in the previous message:
2) Will the newer Debug board that comes with the GTA02 work with the GTA01? 

Is acording to the wiki YES, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debug_Board_v3

 Hi Bernhard,
 Wow - but earlier posts (in this very thread, I think) implied that
 this was not possible - to boot from an ext3 partition by treating it
 as ext2...

The problem is that if the desired filesystem is compiled as a module. 

When the neos try to mount / can only use  built-in filesystems support.

Newer ext2 is built-in on newer kernels but there used to be ext3 alone.
