Re: [Gumstix-users] Verdex Bad Magic Number?

[Shane K. <ski...@uc...>]

Hi Pete,

I've never encountered that problem on Gumstix, but I have on other embedded
systems.  Usually it occurs when I type the load address in wrong. I would
double check the number of '0s' on all your commands as putting an extra 0
(or not enough 0s) in will cause this.  There may be issues with the image
as well but I'm not sure what they would be on a Gumstix U-boot.

I don't have that on hand right now. I will post it back later. I do recall
that transferring these images to the gumstix was successful every time
though.
Sometimes the system will hang at that point, sometimes it will take a few
minutes then uboot will actually manage to start booting the OS. Strange..
What were you thinking it could be?
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,

Could you attach the output of U-Boot for loading the file structure
(.jffs2) and the Uimage?

Hi,
My verdex/console-vx is failing to boot more and more frequently. Uboot
comes up fine but then nothing happens, it hangs at this point:

U-Boot 1.2.0 (Dec 21 2007 - 13:34:50) - PXA270@400 MHz - 1578M

 

*** Welcome to Gumstix ***

 

DRAM:  64 MB

Flash: 16 MB

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

Instruction Cache is ON     

... I tried going into uboot and doing a "bootm", it comes up with a:

GUM> bootm

## Booting image at a2000000 ...

Bad Magic Number    

I have had to reflash it to get it to work again a few times now.
Could it be a memory hardware failure? I am always very cautious handling
the system.
Thanks,
Pete
