Hi, I upgraded my gumstix connex 400xmbt with the latest buildroot (the latest I got as of today morning that has the linux 2.6.20 kernel). The upgrade procedure seemed to have completed successfully and I was also able to boot into linux from the U-boot prompt. However after cycling power on the board, now I'm unable to see anything on the hyperterminal window so am unable to do much and can't even trap into U-boot's serial console to recover from this :(. I also notice that the board starts to heat up pretty quickly now. Any ideas what might be happening here and how I could recover from this? For doing the upgrade I used hyperterminal to trap into the bootloader serial console and downloaded the image using tftp. Before erasing the flash I protected the 2 bootloader sectors. Basically I followed the flashing instructions from: http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Replacing_the_filesystem_image When I did an erase all, I did see a message saying that the 2 protected sectors will not be erased, so I'm pretty sure that the erase all command didnot erase the bootloader. However, I do not understand why I'm unable to see anything on the serial console. I have tried switching my host machine and also have used another gumstix board on the same machine using the same STUART. So it seems that this might be a problem in the hardware of the board that I upgraded. Could any one help me out with this problem? If there are other ways to troubleshoot this problem, please let me know. I bought this GumStix board about a month back, so its fairly new. Since I've had it, I have flashed the image 3 times & have never seen such a problem. Would appreciate any help regarding this. Thanks. |

Hello, Did you do any hardware modification meanwhile ? Or isn't it any hardware that cause malfunction ? I often have this problem if my LCD screen is not properly inserted in its FPC connector :( Or could the default console changed from ttyS0 to something else ?? (Just checking all the possibilities)... I would go for an osci check on the TXD pins... For the heat I wouldn't be alarmed unless it is burning down in flames :) but that could be an hardware malfunction.... again you might check the connections :( Kind regards, Julien >Hi, >I upgraded my gumstix connex 400xmbt with the latest buildroot (the >latest I got as of today morning that has the linux 2.6.20 kernel). >The upgrade procedure seemed to have completed successfully and I was >also able to boot into linux from the U-boot prompt.

I did not make any hardware modifications to the board before reflashing and have tried connecting the boards several times just to rule out a lose connection. I haven't used minicom a lot, so I use windows based hyper terminal. But even with minicom, this board doesnot work. I have another gumstix board that works fine & that board works well with either hyperterminal or minicom. In both hyper terminal & minicom, I've tried all the available serial ports, but with no luck :(. I don't have an oscilloscope & don't know how to use one :(. Checked the warranty on the hardware, but my hardware is over 30 days old, so won't get any warranty coverage on this :(. Can the gumstix folks tell me if they could inspect & possibly fix this board if I were to send it to them? The only reason I tried building & using the latest buildroot is in the hope that I'd get the CF card slot working on the wifistix. Although I don't think that the new buildroot image caused this problem on the gumstix, but I am still a bit apprehensive to flash my other gumstix board. If that also gets wrecked, I'll have nothing :(. Are there any other options I should look at to see if I can get CF to work on the wifistix with my other gumstix?

I wondered if pressing the reset button would help, but I don't really know what it resets. I searched the gumstix wiki and found this on the "Connecting Via Serial - Windows" page: "Plug the power adapter into the power jack of the tweener. When powered, you will see the computer booting in Hyperterminal. If you do not see the device booting or the logon prompt press and hold the reset button on the Gumstix." I guess you should give that a try. Good luck.

Hi now I use uclibc-0.9.29.so in the ~/gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/uClibc/lib. I wondered if uclibc-0.9.29.so support the implementation of iconv_open? Because when I compiled my application, I found that errors: undefined reference to 'iconv_open' undefined reference to 'iconv_close' undefined reference to 'iconv' This functions' announcement is in ~/gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/uClibc/include/iconv.h. Is there any gumstix user who utilized these functions on gumstix before??

You can figure out what library a symbol is in, but it's much harder to figure out what library a symbol is supposed to be in. If I do this: cd gumstix-buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/lib ../bin/arm-linux-nm libc.a | grep __ctype_b then I see this as one of the entries: 00000004 D __ctype_b which tells me that it's defined in libc.a -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

A library (like libc.a) is made up of many object files. The U refers to an undefined symbol, and each occurrence comes from a different object file. The: > 00000000 T __GI___ctype_b_loc > 00000000 T __ctype_b_loc comes from the object file with the actual definition in it. The code seems to either define __ctype_b_loc or __ctype_b based on __UCLIBC_HAS_XLOCALE__ So it looks like you also enabled "Extended Locale Support (experimental/incomplete)" Taking a look in uClibc's include/ctype.h the various ctype macros refer to either __ctype_b or __ctype_b_loc depending on the flags. What this tells me is that you didn't do a clean on your own source code after rebuilding uClibc. So your existing code was compiled when uClibc had no locale support. So you need to ensure that all of the object files that you had which used the old uClibc are removed and rebuilt. This would also apply to all of the stuff in buildroot, so I think what this means is that you need to do: rm -rf gumstix_buildroot/build_arm_nofpu make The stuff in the toolchain directory should be ok to leave. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

Hello, I wondered how do you press the reset button ?? :) I have an audiostix 2 and the only way I found (pure hasard) is to bend (!) the gumstix mainboard, where the reset button is, over the audiostix board ... Is there another way to hard reset the gumstix ? Rohit, I am sorry I am running out of ideas... you may try the reset button method and/or wait for a gumstix guru to help :( Julien NB: and also check, recheck, double-check, proof-check everything :( it might be something very insignificant like serial baud rate (may the bootargs changed) or so ... :( I know it's boring but it diminishes the number of unknown variables... >I wondered if pressing the reset button would help, but I don't really know >what it resets.

Well, if you take your 60 -pin serial board which has the working gumstix in it (so you can boot it up and see the console messages) and power it off and put on the suspect gumstix and power it on and don't see anything then one of two things has happened: 1 - uboot got wiped out 2 - your gumstix is fried. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

I have done exactly this & I get the serial console messages on one gumstix & not the other. If its #2 then there is no hope of recovering from this, right? I doubt that its #1 though, because I had protected the bootloader sectors before flashing the gumstix board and when I did an erase all, I got a message saying that the 2 protected sectors will not be erased. I don't understand how #2 could have happened because after the flash completed, I booted into linux and then disconnected/reconnected the power & saw nothing on the serial console after that. Is there an easy way I could find out if its #1 or #2?

I wasen't able to figure out how to fix the problem so I had shipped the board back to gumstix to be reflashed (usng their reflash service). They weren't able to recover the board either, came to know that the board was fried :(. Its hard to tell whether or not you have the same problem.
