Hi Guys,

I've been using an old beagleboard for sometime using the instructions here: -

http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/BeagleBoard_Quick_Start

However, I now want to try and run the same Symbian images I had before, on the new xM model.  Having plugged the board into my PC, I can no longer use minicom/telnet to connect in the same way, and hence cannot run the usual mmc init, etc, commands.

Can anyone tell me how I'm meant to use these newer xM boards?

Thanks

I haven't tried a BeagleBoard XM, but I have booted a Zoom3 from SD.

The XM doesn't have any NAND so u-boot won't be pre-installed on the device.
Instead you need to prepare an SD card with an MLO and u-boot.bin binary on
it, so that you can boot uboot from the SD card.

If you take a look at the various Linux distributions for the beagleboard
they all have .sh scripts for preparing SD cards (MLO is a bit fiddly as it
needs to be in the first sector of the disk, copying the file from Windows
doesn't seem to work.)

Thanks for your help.

I've partitioned my SD card with a boot partition (150MB) and a rootfs partition with the remaining space (aprx 4GB).  I have then put an MLO and u-boot.bin in the boot partition, along with the beagle.rom.img and drive_c.img pre-built images (all in the boot partition).

I then run the commands: -

mmc init
fatload mmc 0 0x81000000 drive_c.img
fatload mmc 0 0x82000000 beagle.rom.img
go 0x82000000

I then gets lots of output to the telnet terminal, however it hangs with this as its final output.

May I advice you to first try one of the textshell images and verify if
that works - the only reason I say that is the number of issues you can run
into with a textshell is relatively low (as compared to full UI) and it's
easier to debug.

Also , if it works , we can be sure that the Beagle baseport and the
kerenel/mem configuration are all working fine on the XM.

The crash what you see is because you probably don't have Telephony Feature
enabled. The latest ROM builds (from PDK 3.0.3 onwards ) has fixed that .
But anyways it's not fatal and shouldn't stop the boot.


cheers !!

Good idea,

I've taken the tshell from the 3.0.0 PDK and attempted to run that.

I did the usual: -

mmc init
fatload mmc 0 0x81000000 beagle_tshell_ARMV5_udeb.img
go 0x81000000

The output I get is: -

## Starting application at 0x81000000 ...
ArmCpuVersionId  CORTEX_A8  Rev:2
CPU at 600 MHz
[LCD] H_SYNC too big
+TSerialKeyboardl::Create:PRM client ID=0
+TSerialKeyboard::Create bound to interrupt

Nothing appears on the screen, however, when I type characters on the keyboard I do get output on the telnet, ie: -

Key received: 113 164
AddKey 0 0 0 164

Any ideas?

Thanks.
