boot and load app without host machine

2007-12-13 Thread Cochrane, Euan
Hey, at the moment I boot my DVEVM via TFTP and launch my app from the command line using minicom. I now need to do some testing with a machine in another part of the site and I don't want to have to bring my host machine with me. What I want to do is have the DVEVM boot using my boot image

In the current TI drivers the VID0 is disabled due to some Si issues. hence you will not be able to use it. -Rgds, -Manju From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pradip Choudhari Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 5:07 PM To:

Thanks, I followed that app note and I now have my uImage on the flash and my DVEVM boots without the Ethernet connection to the host. now I want to have the board load my app once it finishes booting i.e. so I don't have to login as root and load the app manually over the serial connection.

Hi Euan, DVEVM demo works out of the box because there's a small script dvevmdemo that runs at boot-up. And the script is located at /etc/init.d/ dir in your DVEVM file system. The app also is located somewhere on the DVEVM file system. With the above information, you should be able to figure

Hi Euan, I have a similar experience from the days I've been working on OMAP platform. (I'm working on DaVinci now). I was using mtd partitions (one for kernel, one for filesystem, one for initial ramdisk, etc). I used flash_copy to burn the kernel image into appropriate

Thanks again Somnath, I can see the script in the /etc/init.d dir on my dvevm hard drive which is my current file system and the script looks like I expected but it does not run when I boot my DVEVM, what I really wanted to know was how such a script is set to run after boot completes. Thanks,

I'm not a Linux expert but I think, if you drop a script in that dir it runs the script automatically. Am I terribly mistaken?? So, are you able to load and run your app now? Thanks, Somnath -Original Message- From: Cochrane, Euan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 13,

The dvevmdemo script doesn't seem to be running at startup and it is still in the /etc/init.d dir and I have added my own script to that dir and it doesn't run either. I'll keep trying and let you know if I find out how its done. Thanks, Euan -Original Message- From: Mukherjee, Somnath

You should check videostd variable in u-boot. See if it is set to PAL or NTSC and also see which video format your simple app uses. Benjamin Preetham Soundararajan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I've just got the DVEVM board from Spectrum Digital and wanted to test if

Preetham, You say you see nothing on the LCD display. When you have the board connected and power it up, the bootloader already should give a small Montavista logo in the upper left corner of the monitor. If that is not present the board, display or one of the PSU's is either defect or not

Euan, To get the program to run automatically after startup you need to have a script in /etc/rc.d/rc#.d where # is the run level you are booting to. In the case of DaVinci # is run level 3. If you look at the /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S88demo script on the DaVinci hard drive file system you will see that

Buildroot is good at building all together, but not good at cleaning. Since your console is working and even init=/bin/sh is not working I suspected EABI/OABI stuff. Moreover, I read some warnings some time ago on the buildroot mailing list about this issue. Caglar - You were correct.
