| 12:38.21 | virals | mastupristi: Hi |
| 12:45.06 | eFfeM_work | is here too :-) |
| 13:20.43 | mastupristi | hi all |
| 13:21.35 | mastupristi | I have a problem with 2 hawkboard |
| 13:22.37 | mastupristi | the boards are new, just arrived |
| 13:22.45 | khasim | what is the problem |
| 13:23.58 | mastupristi | one af them seems to have problems on flash |
| 13:24.15 | mastupristi | and I am here to verify my doubt |
| 13:24.21 | khasim | sure |
| 13:24.27 | mastupristi | th boot time si very long |
| 13:25.00 | khasim | you said you have two hawkboards ? |
| 13:25.37 | mastupristi | yes |
| 13:25.48 | mastupristi | here where I work |
| 13:26.01 | mastupristi | 2 boards has benn bought |
| 13:26.14 | mastupristi | been.... :-P |
| 13:26.54 | khasim | ok, |
| 13:26.57 | mastupristi | boot time before I can have login is more of 50 seconds |
| 13:26.59 | khasim | you see both behaving same |
| 13:27.04 | mastupristi | no |
| 13:27.11 | khasim | ok, |
| 13:27.17 | mastupristi | the other board doesn't boot |
| 13:27.23 | khasim | :) |
| 13:27.31 | mastupristi | no characters seen on serial console |
| 13:27.44 | mastupristi | no life signs exept power led |
| 13:28.11 | mastupristi | maybe the flash could be blank... I hope |
| 13:28.54 | khasim | did you follow the procedure on elinux ? |
| 13:29.02 | khasim | you can reflash the boards |
| 13:29.17 | mastupristi | no |
| 13:29.51 | mastupristi | we jast powered the board and connect the serial console |
| 13:30.05 | khasim | Follow this http://elinux.org/Hawkboard |
| 13:30.20 | khasim | ideally board ships with default u-boot |
| 13:30.34 | khasim | it should boot fine, but not sure what has happened in your case |
| 13:30.44 | khasim | I am not sure about the 50sec boot time you are talking about |
| 13:30.56 | khasim | I didnt measure boot time any time. |
| 13:31.11 | khasim | are you seeing 50sec for u-boot itself or it is for entire kernel ? |
| 13:31.15 | mastupristi | we cannot see any characters on console... |
| 13:31.32 | mastupristi | no u-boot |
| 13:31.34 | mastupristi | no kernel |
| 13:31.40 | mastupristi | nothing |
| 13:31.46 | mastupristi | it seems to be death |
| 13:32.08 | khasim | oh,,, |
| 13:32.10 | mastupristi | i think 50 secs are too long |
| 13:32.16 | khasim | I mean the working board |
| 13:32.22 | mastupristi | yes yes |
| 13:32.37 | mastupristi | I have times for signe steps |
| 13:33.04 | khasim | ok, try the elinux procedure, reflash your both the boards and give a try |
| 13:33.15 | mastupristi | when we plug, we must wait 3 seconds before having characters on the console |
| 13:33.55 | mastupristi | here is what is wrote: |

| 13:36.43 | khasim | this is correct |
| 13:36.57 | khasim | why you wait 3sec |
| 13:37.02 | khasim | you can immediately press enter |

| 13:37.25 | khasim | so, does this take 50 sec for you ? |
| 13:37.34 | mastupristi | from here |
| 13:37.45 | mastupristi | it writes |
| 13:37.52 | mastupristi | NAND read: device 0 offset 0x400000, size 0x800000 |

| 13:38.53 | mastupristi | is that right |

| 13:40.04 | khasim | why don't you press enter at the 3sec delay |
| 13:40.13 | khasim | and continue your linux downloads manually |
| 13:42.10 | mastupristi | if I press enter I have the u-boot console |
| 13:42.32 | mastupristi | download from which memory? |

| 13:45.09 | mastupristi | is that correct? |
| 13:45.17 | eFfeM_work | have you programmed a kernel in nand? |
| 13:45.33 | mastupristi | I have done nothing |
| 13:46.03 | mastupristi | the board was arrived |
| 13:46.05 | eFfeM_work | i think the board normally does not have a kernel, only u-boot (at least my board only had u-boot, but I think this is common) |
| 13:46.14 | mastupristi | and we had plug the power |
| 13:46.33 | mastupristi | no flash, no other operation has benn done by anybody |
| 13:46.47 | eFfeM_work | i suggest trying to boot from usb or sd or nfs as described in http://elinux.org/Hawkboard |
| 13:47.00 | mastupristi | we have a linux inside |
| 13:47.20 | mastupristi | infact it boot after at least 45 seconds |

| 13:47.41 | mastupristi | <PROTECTED> |
| 13:47.45 | mastupristi | <PROTECTED> |
| 13:47.58 | eFfeM_work | ah ok |
| 13:48.05 | mastupristi | Linux version 2.6.32-rc6 (root@vpn) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-203) ) #1 PREEMPT Mon Dec 21 18:43:58 IST 2009 |
| 13:49.16 | mastupristi | so do you think that the flash is corrupted? |
| 13:55.28 | eFfeM_work | could well be, i definitely would recommend booting from a differnet source |
| 13:55.47 | mastupristi | we only need to know if we neet to return the boards by RDA or not |
| 13:56.14 | mastupristi | ok |
| 13:56.26 | mastupristi | we could try to boot different devices |
| 13:56.45 | mastupristi | but we use hawkboards as development platform |
| 13:56.53 | eFfeM_work | the one which starts u-boot is most likely ok, not too sure about the other one, but you might try to reflash u-boot on it |
| 13:57.19 | eFfeM_work | booting from a different platform could be a good test |
| 13:57.54 | eFfeM_work | btw not sure if hawkboard makes a good dev platform, guess the performance would not be too hot (wouldn't want to recompile e.g. gcc on it) |
| 13:58.09 | mastupristi | our target is a custom board that must boot from NAND |
| 13:58.13 | eFfeM_work | just my $ 0.02 feeling |
| 13:58.39 | mastupristi | finally |
| 13:58.42 | eFfeM_work | use a cross compiler on pc (you might also want to look at openembedded) |
| 13:59.26 | mastupristi | do you think the NAND flsh doesn't work, so we could return this board by RMA? |
| 14:00.16 | eFfeM_work | can't tell that, you would need to do some testing, try the recovery procedure |
| 14:00.22 | eFfeM_work | see also the elinux.org page |
| 14:00.51 | mastupristi | do you think is a bad idea to boot from NAND in our (future) custom board? |
| 14:01.32 | mastupristi | also in that case you suggest to boot from different device? |
| 14:03.04 | eFfeM_work | depends on your app, booting from nand for embedded devices is quite common |
| 14:03.11 | eFfeM_work | i worked on tv's that booted from nand |
| 14:03.24 | mastupristi | ok I understand |
| 14:03.25 | eFfeM_work | and most media players do the same |
| 14:03.43 | mastupristi | thank you very much |
