Is this the correct list for AM3517 EVM questions?

Is this the correct list for AM3517 EVM questions?

[Steven Grunza]

Hello,
   I have a LogicPD Zoom AM3517 experimenters board.  Is this the 
correct list to ask questions about getting Yocto-based software running 
on this board?

Yes, this is one of the correct lists for asking questions about AM3517 board 
when used with the Yocto Project. :) As this is the mailing list for meta-ti, 
which is the official Texas Instruments BSP layer for OpenEmbedded-Core and 
the Yocto Project, and AM3517 is currently one of the supported platforms in 
meta-ti.

Wonderful.  Can someone point me to information so that I can build a 
system using the Yocto project and program an SD card with the necessary 
files to boot my board into Linux?

   With all of the S7 DIP switches in the off position (which the AM3517 
Development Kits User Manual indicates is the default boot from NAND) I 
don't get any output from the serial UART so my guess is that I've hosed 
the NAND.

   For debugging support I have a TI Stellaris LM3S8962 board which has 
the ability to act as a JTAG debugger to external hardware.  For 
software I have OpenOCD 0.6.1

I would assume you already checked this Hardware Setup page:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_AM35x_EVM_Hardware_Setup

Then you would need to check the Boot from SD/MMC page:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM35x_EVM_Boot_from_SD/MMC_card

As of the software load, you can build a minimal rootfs image (e.g. 
core-image-minimal) with all the BSP components and setup an SD card as 
described above. You'll get the MLO, u-boot, uImage and rootfs as the
output of the build, that you need to load on to the card.

There is "am3517-evm" machine in meta-ti:

If you are using poky-danny as a base, you need to use "danny" branch of 
meta-ti to match the versions.

  i ordered that very AM3517 exp kit this morning and, while it's
in transit, i'm building a core-image-minimal for it. should i expect
success if i use the absolute latest "git pull"s of everything?

  i'm aware of the recipe masking issue and the mesa-dri version thing
so i won't trip over that. so far, the "fetchall" worked and i'm
currently on "running tasks (191 of 1591)" of the build itself.

  is there any reason to think this shouldn't finish? thanks.

Oh, and "danny" results are on the meta-arago mailing list, although those are 
for the entire SDK, but much more green overall... :)

So the build finished and I loaded the files onto my SD card.  MLO, 
u-boot.img, and uImage onto the first partition.  I untarred the root 
file system onto the second partition.  This is the result on the serial 
console:

  that was going to be my long weekend project ... are you saying it
just hung at that point?

Yes.  Just hung. Here's a little more info on my system.  I changed the 
loadaddr environment variable to match the reported load address from 
u-boot reading the uImage file.  Saving the new value fixed the "*** 
Warning - bad CRC, using default environment" message.

  finally had time to test and had exactly the same result: "Starting
kernel ..." and ... hang.

  thoughts, anyone? i have the bootable SD card that came with the kit
from logicpd so i'll try to identify some critical difference.

rday

p.s.  this is building a core-image-minimal for an am3517-evm.

Wow!  You got the SD card?  The kit was supposed to come with a Windows 
CE and a Linux SD card but I didn't get either.  I was never able to get 
LogicPD support to send me the image, either.  They just kept pointing 
the the procedures spread all over the web on how to build the code.

I built core-image-base for the am3517-evm.

  just to establish a foundation here, this is the result of booting

  and it does boot successfully (well, after i added the touchscreen
from one of my other kits). but clearly there's a build that works.
now all i have to do is figure out how to get the same result with
yocto and the meta-ti layer.

Robert,
   Could you dd the SD card into a compressed image and send it to me?  
I might need to setup some sort of scp drop location if it's too big to 
email.  While I want to be able to build the code, I really need to get 
this robot done in time for the April competition...
