I'm trying to reflash my connex with OE, following the instructions at http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Developer-how-to-s/Reflashing-using-a-serial-connection-and-a-CF-card/111.html I'm at the point in the process where I'm supposed to do the kernel install, but my gumstix doesn't recognize the 'katinstall' command. Here's the log: GUM> fatls ide 0 160688 uboot.bin 1041352 uimage 8943420 rootfs 3 file(s) GUM> fatload ide 0 a2000000 rootfs reading rootfs 8943420 bytes read GUM> protect on 1:0-1 Protect Flash Sectors 0-1 in Bank #1 .. done GUM> erase all Erase Flash Bank # 1 - Warning: 2 protected sectors will not be erased! ........................................................................ done GUM> cp.b a2000000 40000 ${filesize} Copy to Flash... done GUM> fatload ide 0 a2000000 uimage reading uimage 1041352 bytes read GUM> katinstall 100000 Unknown command 'katinstall' - try 'help' It's currently running u-boot 1.1.4 but the instructions don't say anything about needing 1.2.0.

looks like you are fine to me, the uBoot was not erased and you successfully wrote the rootfs. i guess 1.1.4 does not have the katinstall command so your options are to either 1. upgrade or 2. just use the copy command. as far as what the copy command *is*, i can only guess....i would wait for someone else who knows it a little better. i am 99% percent sure your gumstix is fine though. it just didnt get the kernel installed; so it won't boot, but your uboot is fine. -ziggy On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 5:57 PM, Chuck Randall <shi...@ro...> wrote: > I'm trying to reflash my connex with OE, following the instructions at > http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Developer-how-to-s/Reflashing-using-a-serial-connection-and-a-CF-card/111.html > > I'm at the point in the process where I'm supposed to do the kernel > install, but my gumstix doesn't recognize the 'katinstall' command. > Here's the log: > > GUM> fatls ide 0 > 160688 uboot.bin > 1041352 uimage > 8943420 rootfs > 3 file(s) > > GUM> fatload ide 0 a2000000 rootfs > reading rootfs > 8943420 bytes read > > GUM> protect on 1:0-1 > Protect Flash Sectors 0-1 in Bank #1 > .. done > > GUM> erase all > Erase Flash Bank # 1 - Warning: 2 protected sectors will not be erased! > ........................................................................ > done > > GUM> cp.b a2000000 40000 ${filesize} > Copy to Flash... done > > GUM> fatload ide 0 a2000000 uimage > reading uimage > 1041352 bytes read > > GUM> katinstall 100000 > Unknown command 'katinstall' - try 'help' > > > It's currently running u-boot 1.1.4 but the instructions don't say > anything about needing 1.2.0.

No you haven't bricked it. 1.1.4 doesn't support the katinstall command, which is why you're getting the error. You'll probably want to (carefully) update your u-boot to 1.2.0. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

You didn't hoop u-boot, so its safe to power off. When you reboot, it will still fail to boot the kernel. To get your kernel working again, you'd need to go back to an older build (like 1161). I'm going to assume that the uboot.bin file you've already got is 1.2.0. Personally, I like to test out a new uboot before burning it permanently. To test it out (on the connex), do this (from the GUM> prompt): pinit on fatload ide 0 a3f00000 uboot.bin go a3f00000 This will launch the new u-boot.bin file. Verify that the version printed is 1.2.0. If you let it run, it should load your kernel and boot it. Note that this isn't permanent and once you power off, then you're back to where you started. Once you've tested it, then go and burn it. pinit on fatload ide 0 a2000000 uboot.bin protect off 1:0-1 erase 1:0-1 cp.b a2000000 0 $filesize Note that the destination address in the cp.b command is 0 for u-boot, rather than the 40000 used by the filesystem. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

Hey guys has any of you tried compiling and installing u-boot 1.3.x? u-boot 1.2.0 is a bit old - I know it works great but I would like to see if anyone has tried 1.3.x Dave thanks for writting about the pinit on command it will be a great way to test it.

Okay, my CF card was just hanging, so I put the files onto an MMC card.

Sounds like something that u-boot doesn't like about the CF card. I'd recommend trying another card. Whay are you using "mmc 1". Do you have special partitioning on the card?

Hi Dave, I changed from using the CF card to using a MMC card, since I couldn't get things going with the CF card. It would just hang forever when I tried reading uboot.bin from it. So I switched to using an MMC card. But with the MMC card, I get the "Invalid FAT entry" error. I used "mmc 1" because that's what the instructions say to do (http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Developer-how-to-s/Reflashing-using-a-serial-connection-and-an-MMC/SD/microSD-card/111.html ). Using "mmc 0" gives the same "Invalid FAT entry" error. When I try to transfer uboot.bin over serial with minicom, I get: ?Carrier required but not detected I never dreamed this would be so difficult!

Hi Shane, Thanks for the pointer. I created a .kermrc file with the contents shown on that page. It does a bit more now, coming up with this message (after performing the numbered steps listed in my earlier email): Connecting to /dev/ttyS0, speed 115200 Escape character: Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS): enabled Type the escape character followed by C to get back, or followed by ? to see other options. ---------------------------------------------------- And there it just sits.

Hi Chuck, It looks like you're connected, but I'm guessing the gumstix is waiting for some input (it's probably already booted and waiting for a log in)...I would try pressing enter a couple of times...also since you are trying to reload u-boot you may just want to unplug it and plug it back it (all the while leaving the terminal up). ~Shane On Wed, 2 Jul 2008 10:55:33 -0700 Chuck Randall <shi...@ro...> wrote: > Hi Shane, > > Thanks for the pointer.

I was having the same problem so I tried to update the uboot. I just followed the tutorial here http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Developer-how-to-s/Reflashing-using-a-serial-connection/111.html. I was able to successfully update the uboot and install oe on 2 gumstixs, but when I tried on a third gumstix (and different computer) I am afraid that I have deleted the old uboot without having installed the new one :/ Here are the commands that I entered http://rafb.net/p/9KUy2O78.html after typing 'reset' the gumsitx did not reboot like it did the other 2 times, instead it just hung. After manually unplugging it I am now unable to connect to the gumsitx at all. I have tried this with 2 different gumstixs and now they are both in this unusable state :/ Any advice?

I think you're hooped. You'll probably need to send them back for a reflash unless you have a JTAG setup. The commands you entered look correct to me. I also like to verify the crc of the downloaded image, especially when downloading over serial. Were all of the gumstix motherboards the same type and speed? TeraTerm's kermit is broken and will corrupt the image (I think it used to mention that on the older wiki pages - I don't see it on the new ones). -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

Just an update... Thanks to everyone who helped! I finally managed to successfully reflash my connex with uboot 1.2.0 and build r1604. My problems reading the CF and MMC cards were resolved when I reformatted them as FAT on a Win/XP machine. I had formatted them FAT on my 7.10 Ubintu system, but I guess there's something not quite the same between the two. BTW, I never was able to get the serial transfer of uboot.bin to work with minicom. My question is: Now when booting build 1604, there are many errors and timeouts (almost as though this build isn't meant for connex). It takes about 5 minutes to get to the login prompt. So, how do I: a) Turn off looking for a non-existent BT module? b) Turn off starting a non-existent wireless card? c) Turn off trying to mount non-existent devices: /dev/hda1 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /dev/sda1 /proc/bus/usb /usr/sbin/alsactl (sound card) i2c touch screen controller In short, is there a more suitable build for the connex-400xm? Or do I just need to modify a startup file or two?

Comment out the "auto mwlan0" line in the /etc/network/interfaces file (or auto anything else for interfaces you don't want to bring up). > c) Turn off trying to mount non-existent devices: > /dev/hda1 > /dev/mmcblk0p1 > /dev/sda1 > /proc/bus/usb > /usr/sbin/alsactl (sound card) > i2c touch screen controller This might be a side effect of loading those modules at boot time, in which case, remove the appropriate lines from the /etc/modules file. > In short, is there a more suitable build for the connex-400xm?
