My setup: Overo Tide COM, Palo43 board w/ touchscreen. The COM and touchscreen are installed on the board. I have followed the Gumstix wiki of how to create a bootable SD card from the stable factory pre-built image. I am fairly certain I have done that part correctly. When I put the SD card in and apply power, all I get is black and white vertical lines on the display, like an ever changing bar code. Could this be a problem with the display drivers? Is there some other setup that I did not do correctly? Could this be a hardware issue? I find it hard to believe that it is this difficult to get any OS running on the Tide COM. -mark -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Overo-Boot-Problems-tp31500032p31500032.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Are you using a desktop image? Have you tried connecting via serial? Both Steve Sakoman and myself have scripts available for creating images from his prebuilt images, however, OpenEmbedded is a headache and a half (not that it is in any way related to your current problem, but sooner or later it will find a way to frustrate you). If you want something dirt-simple to setup I would recommend using Linaro's scripts: https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/Overo/Setup To get the most recent pre-built images (or just change the date from the instructions above to 20110426): http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/ And the compiler can easily be installed: https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/ToolchainInstall-10 AJ ONeal On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 2:07 PM, mmeisner <mme...@gm...> wrote: > > My setup: Overo Tide COM, Palo43 board w/ touchscreen. > > The COM and touchscreen are installed on the board.

P.S. I would recommend that you first try your serial connection before changing anything else. P.P.S If you did go the Linaro route, you would probably want the desktop image, not the headless mentioned in the instructions.

Hi I am using Overo Tide too and I can drive 17 inches LCD TV via HDMI. I am not sure you have done this but since Tide does not have NAND, you would need boot.scr bootloader image on your boot partition and it can be created with mkimage using environment (setenv) commands. Google "boot.scr Overo Tide" and you will find some web links. Hope this helps!

Yes, thank you everyone, the problem was the bootloader was trying to access the NAND, which is not there on the Overo Tide. A custom boot.scr does the trick, though I think Gumstix make one that works and add it to the default images. -mark Andy Doan-2 wrote: > > On 04/28/2011 06:48 PM, AKS wrote: >> Google "boot.scr Overo Tide" and you will find some web links.
