Re: [beagleboard] Re: X15 Boot via USB

2021-08-19 Thread Angel Sosa 
Hi Every Body I am back on the beagle X15 and have done some nice stuff 
since I last commented on this message board. I would to take on the boot 
process from start to finish and document how it can be manipulated.  I 
understand according to the schematic document there a couple of resistors 
that should be removed in order to control the boot sequence even further. 
At the moment I am using /boot/uEnv.txt and /etc/fstab to control the boot 
sequence. But If I could control the boot sequence specifically from the  
missing headers that would be great. I just need to know according to page 
61 which resistors is the documentation referring to? The help would be 
deeply appreciated. I placed a pretty in depth post last year but I would 
like to take it to the next level. 

Thanks in advance

Hi Marc,
 One other detail, The SATA/ESATA is powered with an external power supply. 
 The ESATA port is not providing power to the drive itself. And in addition 
since I de-soldered R444 and added the headers to J3,J4 and J6, pins to 2-3 are 
shorted.

Hi Marc, 
I was able to finally get past the issue. Please see below for my long 
  winded directions: 

1. Make sure your micro sd card has enough space.
2. Remove the micro sd card.
3. Boot off the emmc, once up and running,
4. In a terminal session "sudo" to root ( password = temppwd ) and stay as
root for the remainder of the steps.
5. Insert the micro sd ca

Re: [beagleboard] Re: X15 Boot via USB

2018-01-16 Thread John Syne 
I read that someone did manage to get the X15 to boot from esata when using a 
powered esata interface. Apparently the power to the esata connector isn’t 
available during uboot and hence the need for a powered esata interface. I 
haven’t tried this myself, but I do recall someone on the ARM Linux forum 
working on this.

John

Re: [beagleboard] Re: X15 Boot via USB

2018-01-16 Thread marc bellazzini 
Hello Angel,
Mine is still collecting dust after my failed attempt at booting off the
eSATA and making the modifications you have also done. Very disappointing
since it was an expensive purchase. I am also awaiting a solution. The
directions on booting from eSATA were not very clear.

Good luck!
