Hi I have been away from the Gumstix for some time, but did find the original stix buried below a lot of dust. I did try to install the u-boot which were build from Rev. 293 without success (dead stix). After that I did try to install the version from sourceforge (r152) with the same result. Downgrading to U-Boot 1.0.0 (Mar 29 2004 - 20:43:43) "solved" the problem, but I don't have the source for that one so can't see what has changed in the initial setup. Ok why upgrade the bootloader? My problem with the original stix has always been unreliable startup and I did hope that a new bootloader might help on that problem. Question: Has anyone had success with installing a "new" bootloader on the original stix? Anyone who can explain why the new bootloader can't be used on the original stix? /Benny |

Benny, This is how I managed it (copied from original post): *** Updating original gumstix u-boot when flashing in v1.0.0 is buggy. (THE TWO UBOOT MONTY!) *** NOTE: I have found this works for me, and was desperate enough to risk bricking my gumstix, but maybe I was lucky. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK 1. Get a root_fs and uboot image suitable for the gumstix in question (E.g. from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gumstix or via using the buildroot to make your own) - I found both worked ok for me. Copy them to you mmc card, or have them handy on your PC that is used to connect to the stix via a serial connection ready to transfer. 2. Boot up the gumstix, and interrupt the u-boot autoboot by pressing a key. 3. Load the u-boot image: EITHER serially from PC: GUM> loadb A2000000 Then start the transfer via Kermit from your PC of uboot.bin OR via mmc (note the mmcinit needs to be done twice for some reason) GUM> mmcinit GUM> mmcinit GUM> fatload mmc 1 a2000000 uboot.bin 4. Launch the new 1.1.1 (or later) uboot from ram. GUM> go a2000000 5. Interrupt the uboot autoboot, as before. Then load a fresh copy into ram - this will then get copied to flash. NOTE: we load it into 0xA3000000 not A2000000 EITHER (for serial loaders) GUM> loadb A3000000 OR (for mmc loaders) GUM> mmcinit GUM> mmcinit GUM> fatload mmc 1 a3000000 uboot.bin 6.

Copy the uboot into flash, and then reprotect the flash GUM> cp.b a3000000 0 ${filesize} GUM> prot on 1:0-1 8.

Hi Philip Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately the result were the same. No problems to start the new bootloader from RAM, but it refuse to start from flash so I guess it must have something to do with the low level init which will be done only during boot from flash. Anyone who has the old gumstix related source for U-Boot 1.0.0 (Mar 29 2004 - 20:43:43)? /Benny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip White" <ph...@th...> To: <gum...@li...> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 1:36 AM Subject: RE: [Gumstix-users] u-boot on the original gumstix > Benny, > > This is how I managed it (copied from original post): > > *** Updating original gumstix u-boot when flashing in v1.0.0 is buggy.

Benny, part of the reason for moving from 1.0.0 to 1.1.1 was that the *only* place that could compile the original 1.0.0 code which was being burned on those original stix was Gordon's laptop (which just died two weeks ago actually). When I moved us over to a "real" build system, it was much easier to get 1.1.1 working than trying to reproduce the system Gordon had under cygwin on his machine. At the time, I was testing releases against both the original and the F gumstix, and it was working -- though I have to admit I haven't tested a -orig for a while now, and something may have broken. Could you try -r48, which is on sf.net and see if that works -- I think that was the first release we did for the new u-boot, and was tested on an original stix.

I got a original gumstix (with a 20 pins connector), and due to a bad ker= nel,=20 uboot was erased. After sending uboot 1.1.1 via jtag, it works well...
