I am kind of stuck on this part and don't know what to do and need some assistance. I have the script and image files on the microSD card, but I don't see them when I login to the Overo. I am trying to write the images to the onboard nand flash. http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Writing-images-to-onboard-nand/111.html -- Thomas Davis Jackson State University Computer Engineering Major |

I already created the bootable SD card. I guess I'm just having a problem seeing the files once i login through the Overo -- Thomas Davis Jackson State University Computer Engineering Major |

You must boot from the SD card. I guess you have booted from the NAND partition. Check here howto makea bootable SD http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Creating-a-bootable-microSD-card/111.html If you seach a bit you might find someone who have made a script that can do the job, but to get a understanding of what is done the above link is fine.

Hi all, I'm facing a problem while flashing to the NAND. while I have all the images and script saved in the SD card's /root/images folder, I boot up my Gumstix from SD card, logged in as root: /overo login: root/ root@overo:~# and then I navigate to the folder, tried to run the .sh file with this instruction: root@overo:~/images#/ ./run.sh/ but I got this error message: -sh: ./run.sh: Permission denied Is there anything I should fix before running the script? I am totally new to this world, so detailed instruction would be highly appreciated :) Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure just how new you are, so I'll guess: This sounds like a simple permissions issue. You need to instruct the system to permit you to execute the file as a program: chmod u+x ./run.sh ./run.sh Does that do the trick? --Jon On Sep 25, 2012 12:09 PM, "kfcandroid" <kfc...@gm...> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm facing a problem while flashing to the NAND. > while I have all the images and script saved in the SD card's /root/images > folder, > I boot up my Gumstix from SD card, logged in as root: > /overo login: root/ > root@overo:~# > > and then I navigate to the folder, tried to run the .sh file with this > instruction: > root@overo:~/images#/ ./run.sh/ > > but I got this error message: > -sh: ./run.sh: Permission denied > > > Is there anything I should fix before running the script? > I am totally new to this world, so detailed instruction would be highly > appreciated :) > > Thanks in advance!! > > James > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://gumstix.8.n6.nabble.com/Writing-images-to-onboard-nand-tp649052p4965498.html > Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Live Security Virtual Conference > Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and > threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Thanks Jon, the code you gave me worked like a charm :D by the way, do you have any idea about how to modify the kernel and images which has been loaded into the NAND? I am facing some problem with Wifi and probably need to add some capability for USB camera connectivity. so far I knew how to compile a kernel with kernel source code which I got from here: git clone git://www.sakoman.com/git/linux-omap-2.6 linux but I have no idea how to configure the kernel which is inside my SD card or flash. Or, the cause of my problem doesn't have anything to do with kernel? Sorry for the new generated and long question, any comment will be greatly appreciated James 2012/9/25 Jonathan Kunkee <jon...@gm...> > I'm not sure just how new you are, so I'll guess: > > This sounds like a simple permissions issue.

First I would Google and look for results on Old Nabble. Previous email threads have talked about both of these topics extensively. I personally have very limited experience with both of these topics and won't be able to help much. Also, if you send a new email to the Gumstix mailing list for each question, they will get a lot more attention than this thread will get, IMHO. Be sure to briefly describe what you are trying to do, what you have tried, and what error messages or conditions you observe. > so far I knew how to compile a kernel with kernel source code which I got > from here: > > git clone git://www.sakoman.com/git/linux-omap-2.6 linux You might be interested in the Gumstix kernel repo at https://github.com/gumstix/Gumstix-Overo-Kernel.git Note that there is a config in the root of that repo; be sure to enable CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973 after you configure it. > but I have no idea how to configure the kernel which is inside my SD card or > flash. Changing the kernel on the SD card usually requires two things: changing the uImage file on the FAT partition and installing the respective modules on the rootfs partition. Sometimes changing boot.scr or u-boot environment is required to get the serial console to work correctly. I can point you to instructions > Or, the cause of my problem doesn't have anything to do with kernel? Between my limited experience and limited information, I can honestly say I have no idea. Hence my suggestion to start a new thread with each question so that smarter eyes than mine see them. :) > Sorry for the new generated and long question, any comment will be greatly > appreciated No worries; I hope I helped!

Thanks again, Jon Thank you for the advise, I will sort my issue out, have them organized, and start another new post. Besides, I will definitely search around this forum and hopefully I can gain some help to solve this issue. (btw, the way I did on reply, I typically click on the "reply" link on the upper right corner of each post, is that sounds correct to post my question to all Gumstix community?) Also, in your previous reply, (as I quoted below) I notice that you mentioned about 2 factors about changing the kernel on SD card, I was able to compile the kernel with uImage file, but I have no knowledge about the next one, which is the "respective modules on the rootfs partition" would you please point me out what exactly it is or some tutorials I can follow on the internet? "Changing the kernel on the SD card usually requires two things: changing the uImage file on the FAT partition and installing the respective modules on the rootfs partition.

As long as the "To:" field of the email has "gum...@li..." in it, everyone will see it. If you don't change the subject line, then it will even get collated into a thread. If you're working straight through Old Nabble, then I imagine it works just fine. > Also, in your previous reply, (as I quoted below) > I notice that you mentioned about 2 factors about changing the kernel on SD > card, > > I was able to compile the kernel with uImage file, but I have no knowledge > about > the next one, which is the "respective modules on the rootfs partition" > would you please point me out what exactly it is or some tutorials I can > follow on the internet? I'll point you here and add a few comments of my own: http://gumstix.org/basic-cross-compilation.html Again, I don't know how much you know, so I'll err on the side of overkill: uImage == (vmlinux set up for U-Boot) The Linux kernel is designed to be split into pieces. The uImage file you have built contains all of the vital components like filesystem handling and task management. Other pieces, especially device drivers, can be compiled separately as 'modules' that can be inserted and removed while the kernel is running. This makes it easy for the omap3_config to apply to lots of hardware, as the user can load the modules he/she needs after the most basic system has loaded. So, in order to install your newly-built kernel, you need to copy the core part (uImage) into the boot partition (the FAT partition) so that the system can get started. On an Ubuntu system after inserting the SD card, this would likely be cd $(YOUR_KERNEL_SRC_DIR) cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /media/boot/uImage If you also want to try different drivers and functionality that was built as a module, you need to get these onto the root filesystem. This is what the command that starts "sudo INSTALL_MOD" on the linked tutorial does. All of the info on that page is awesome; it is merely somewhat disorganized for someone coming into with little experience. > Again, thanks a lot for being patient with me, I really appreciate that :) Everyone starts somewhere, no? I just hope I'm not overexplaining concepts you already understand. Cheers, Jon Kunkee |

Sorry to reply to an old post, but after struggling with this ourselves, we documented a way to flash the NAND using a USB flash drive: http://www.aarcomm.com/blog/technology/gumstix/gumstix-overo-nand-flashing/ Hope this is useful.
