Re: debian installed, uImage.bin not recognised

2011-02-04 Thread Eric Smith
Thanks Timo
 What parameters did you give to install.sh? In particular, which boot
 loader are you using and how is it configured?

TASKS=ALL QI=true SD_SWAP_SIZE=128 DASH_BINSH=false ./install.sh all

anyways I think this is the command I issued on the single occasion 
that the install process completed.

Qi bootloader not configured and just flashed as per the manual.

I do not understand why the Debian maintainers did not create a static
respository istead of linking to unstable that is a moving target.

I will give this another try when I have some more time.
Any suggestions on how to get a standard debian installed on sdcard 
most welcome.  The UI does not interest me, I want to install a JRE
and som proprietory software that runs on the JVM.

Thanks.

Eric Smith

You mean like take lenny and provide unofficial repository of openmoko
specific packages for it? I guess there are multiple problem. I
understood that many freesmartphone.org programs required software
that is not in lenny and a massive backport effort would have been in
order.

Install.sh definitely suffers from the fact that unstable changes
constantly.

 I will give this another try when I have some more time.

You probably need JTAG to debug Qi though? With u-boot you'd at least
get error messages to both display and USB.

debian installed, uImage.bin not recognised

2011-02-03 Thread Eric Smith

Hi

After about 90 minutes, the install.sh all command completed with request to 
reboot.
No errors reported.

On power on, it boots into the old Qtmoko.
When I explicitly boot from microSD on the NOR screen,
it flashes an error than uImage.bin not recognised - no kernel image

By deafult the new boot partition is mounted when it boots into the Qtmoko and 
I get a listing
neo:~# ls -lrt /media/card
total 2216
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1509096 Aug  7 15:10 
uImage.bin-2.6.29-20100313.git973a41fc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  682681 Aug  7 15:10

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  38 Jan 29 19:52 uImage.bin - 
uImage.bin-2.6.29-20100313.git973a41fc

Which to me looks pretty healthy.

The paritions on the SD are:
neo:~# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 2027 MB, 2027945984 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 61888 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xde50b0d4

Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1   1 2457832   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2 246   61888 1972576   83  Linux
And the last one seems to be fully poulated

There is a warning on the http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner not to type 
reboot: but use the buttons 
which is what I did, but the manual on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian 
says the opposite.

How do I get out of this problem and into the debian install.

You should not use NOR u-boot for anything else than flashing.

I don't think this is your real problem but the warning indeed makes
no sense to me. Jidanni, you added this paragraph to the wiki in 2008,
do you remember why?

All I remember is I traded my OpenMoko in for a Nokia 3315 and would
rather not think further.
