Hi all, I'm new to Gumstix. Just received my Overo Fire + Chestnut43 kit and playing with it. Very interesting! I'm now following the Setup guide on the website to install the latest images from Gumstix onto the supplied SD card to boot from it. I created the two filesystems, moved the files MLO, u-boot.bin and uImage on the first one, and the filesystem on the other. Pretty sure I have it exactly as the guide. However, when I reset, the console stops here: ************** Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.4ss (Nov 15 2010 - 08:42:50) OMAP3530-GP ES3.1 Board revision: 0 Reading boot sector Loading u-boot.bin from mmc ************** I've let it for several minutes, nothing happens. I found another thread where people mentioned it was working with a different u-boot.bin file from another build. I tried that user's u-boot.bin. It loads, but stops a few lines after: ************** Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.4ss (Nov 15 2010 - 08:42:50) OMAP3530-GP ES3.1 Board revision: 0 Reading boot sector Loading u-boot.bin from mmc U-Boot 2010.09-rc2 (Sep 26 2010 - 21:40:55) OMAP3530-GP ES3.1, CPU-OPP2, L3-165MHz, Max CPU Clock 720 mHz Gumstix Overo board + LPDDR/NAND I2C: ready DRAM: 256 MiB NAND: 256 MiB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Board revision: 0 Tranceiver detected on mmc2 Die ID #7c880004000000000403990c0a017001 Net: smc911x-0 Hit any key to stop autoboot: 5 4 3 2 1 0 mmc1 is available reading boot.scr ** Unable to read "boot.scr" from mmc 0:1 ** reading uImage 2834008 bytes read Booting from mmc ...

I had some trouble following the two different guides I found as well. I posted the steps that eventually got my Overo Water to boot here: http://squall1986.com/?page_id=79. I would first try to get everything working from a pre-built image if you aren't already. On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 10:00 AM, Laurent Chouinard <lau...@se... > wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm new to Gumstix.

Thanks, JJ. However, further testing indicates that I'm doing it right. It's the latest build that is somehow incompatible. I installed the build dated 2010-09-09 and it works fine, I'm playing with palmtop right now (can't make network connection though). It appears something in the latest 2010-11-15 build is preventing the boot from working properly. Now that I have a working SD card from which I can recover, I guess I could now try to write the 2010-11-15 build into NAND instead, in case it's the conflict of old/new loaders that is the problem.

Fixed it. Apparently the web server behind these firmware images and/or my Firefox had difficulties downloading these files, so they were ending up being corrupt. I should have checked the md5 sums at first sign of problems... oh well! Re-downloading everything several times in several browsers eventually lead to an intact copy of each file, which I then placed on the SD card and, voilà, works beautifully.
