I started with a blank nand and built a console image with mkcard.sh on an SD card (that does boot) I did not read, and I have scoured and can't find, "A few words ..." His error is 'mmc init' but mine is 'mmc rescan' So ... ignoring what I've done already, and starting with (say) console SD image and your WWW instructions what should I do that your instructions don't say ... Thanks James |

Erasing the u-boot environment when upgrading is discussed here: http://www.sakoman.com/category/8-gnome-daily-builds-r13.html and here: http://www.sakoman.com/OMAP/how-to-write-u-boot-to-nand.html > His error is 'mmc init' but mine is 'mmc rescan' > > So ... ignoring what I've done already, and starting with (say) console SD image and your WWW instructions what should I do that your instructions don't say ... Nothing. Just follow the instructions.

Follow the instructions to erase it and you should be fine.
