[hawkboard] OE Kernel Not Booting

[hawkboard] OE Kernel Not Booting

[Christophe Aeschlimann]

Hi,

We are at least three hawkboard owners that have the same issue.

Building org.openembedded.dev HEAD with

MACHINE= "hawkboard"
DISTRO = "angstrom-2008.1"

produces a Kernel Image that cannot be booted on our hawkboards.

The behaviour is the following with the following kernel bootargs :

console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=172.16.147.10:/srv/nfs/hawkboard ip=172.16.100.100 
eth=0a:c1:a8:12:fa:c0

And it hangs there forever...

If I add earlyprintk to the bootargs :

console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=172.16.147.10:/srv/nfs/hawkboard ip=172.16.100.100 
eth=0a:c1:a8:12:fa:c0 earlyprintk=serial,ttyS2,115200n8

then I get the following :

And it hangs there forever.

Could someone who has an hawkboard working with OE please detail his 
configuration ? (u-boot, kernel config)

If you have any idea of things I might try to get it working is also 
welcome. Like how to start debugging that ?

Best regards,

Try the OE built u-boot.

Hi Koen,

I haven't been able to boot using the OE generated u-boot so far.

But I'm a bit confused about how everything is working together.

Don't you have to generate an AIS image using AISGen and the OE 
generated u-boot image before flashing it in the UBL partition 
(beginning of the second erase block) ?

Thanks for your precious help,

Regards,

Christophe

Not that I know of. I flashed uboot using tftp and that seemed to work
fine. That was on a prototype hawkboard which has released it magic
smoke since then.

Ok then I assume you had a pre-installed working UBL (User Boot Loader) 
in NAND @ Block 1 (0-indexed), that would initialize the board HW (EMIFA 
timings, SDRAM refresh cycles, etc) load block 2 in memory (U-Boot)and 
executes it. Then you could just overwrite the U-Boot NAND partition 
using U-Boot tftp and nand erase / write.e commands.

But AFAIU if you don't have an UBL (E.G. because you don't have a CCS 
license to modify/rebuild it) you can workaround it by using the AIS 
generator that generate a "self-bootable" image. In this case we want 
the OMAP-L138 RBL (ROM Bootloader) to read the AIS image from NAND (@ 
block 1, where the UBL is normally stored) configure the HW and start 
executing U-Boot.

Does this tell you anything ?

Christophe

That should be fixed now with:

Yes I confirm it is.

Did you ever manage to update your u-boot on your Hawkboard? I signed my
Angstrom generated u-boot with AISGen but my board did not work and had to
revert to u-boot_nand_ais_v1.bin.
