[Gumstix-users] help - deleted root file system on gumstix

[Hamatole Project <hamatole@gm...>]

Hi,

I am hoping if someone can give  me some advice.

I have an eink AM300 prototype kit and we have had a problem
where we accidentally ran an "rm -r" from the root folder of gumstix.
Obviously this was not a great thing to do.

We then tried to rebuilding the flash
the system blocked at the reset command. Upon reboot, gumstix was not
working and we could not access it anymore. Below are the some of the
commands from the guide that we followed.


*GUM> mmcinit
GUM> fatload mmc 1 a2000000 u-boot_1427.bin
GUM> protect off all
GUM> era 1:0-1
GUM> cp.b a2000000 0 ${filesize}
GUM> reset


any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

David

Those instructions seem to be ones that will replace the uboot system, and
have no impact at all on your rootfs.
 
Maybe i missed something obvious in your email.

If your uboot is corrupted then you will need to reprogramme it via
the JTAG pads.

If you can't do it yourself, or don't have a JTAG adapter, then
Gumstix offer a $10 reflash service.
