Robert,

I installed Ubuntu (not Debian), by following your instructions for copying 
the raw microSD image to the microSD 
card: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#BeagleBone.2FBeagleBone_Black

Then I inserted the card in the BBB, held down the boot button while 
powering up, and it booted from the card. If I reboot, it boots from the 
microSD card, which is what I want. If I remove the card and power up, it 
boots from the eMMC.

Do I need to flash anything to the eMMC? The eMMC still has the default 
Debian. Since the BBB boots from the card as desired, maybe I don't need to 
do anything to the eMMC.

I have one question. I will be using a XBee cape board that needs UART2 to 
be enabled. I will need to add a line like this to uEnv.txt:
optargs=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2

I think I should add this line /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt in the eMMC, am I right?

I ask this because the microSD card has two copies, /uEnv.txt and 
/boot/uEnv.txt. The contents of these two files and the file in eMMC are 
different.

Thanks,
Tim

Okay, out of the box, that image shipped with 3.14.x, so you need to
downgrade to 3.8.x to use capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull
sudo ./update_kernel.sh --stable --bone-channel

 I think I should add this line /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt in the eMMC, am I right?

Only edit /boot/uEnv.txt

cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2


 I ask this because the microSD card has two copies, /uEnv.txt and
 /boot/uEnv.txt. The contents of these two files and the file in eMMC are

So /boot/uEnv.txt is the main script, /uEnv.txt is just there for
compatibility with old eMMC's..

If you look at /uEnv.txt closely, it reads /boot/uEnv.txt...

Robert,

Holding down the boot button doesn't work, I get the Bad Linux ARM zImage 
magic error mentioned above.

When you say it has a later version of u-boot, do you mean the eMMC has a 
later version of uboot than my microSD card?

How would I fix my uEnv.txt? Here is my uEnv.txt script from the microSD 
card (which is different than eEnv.txt in the eMMC):
 mmcpart=2
 mmcrootfstype=ext4 rootwait
 optargs=fixrtc capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART2
 uenvcmd=i2c mw 0x24 1 0x3e; setenv mmcroot /dev/mmcblk${mmcdev}p${mmcpart} 
ro
 loadfdt=load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} ${fdtaddr} ${bootdir}/dtbs/${fdtfile}
 loadimage=load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} ${loadaddr} ${bootdir}/${bootfile}

Remember, my microSD card has Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS  
(ubuntu-precise-12.04.3-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz downloaded from 
http://www.armhf.com/) and my eMMC has the default Debian that came 
installed on the BBB.

Here is what I've done
1. Copy Ubuntu image to the microSD card (as per 
http://www.armhf.com/index.php/getting-started-with-ubuntu-img-file/)
2. Plug card into BBB and boot from card by holding down the boot button
3. Copy Ubuntu image to the onboard eMMC
4. From that point forward, BBB will boot from microSD card without having 
to hold down the boot button.

I have six BBB's. I followed these steps for all six, and it worked with 
the first five BBB's. It's only the sixth BBB that is giving me this 
trouble. The sixth refuses to boot from the microSD.

Thanks for your help Robert, I'm just not sure how to get this sixth 
beaglebone working.

Tim

 I'm trying to determine if getting an FTDI cable will help debug this

By having the FTDI cable plugged in, you'll visually see over the

hardware failure of the microSD..

One can easily be fixed, the other is a broken board.

Till then, the 4 led pattern doesn't tell us much.

Sorry, nope. From bootrom - u-boot, it's serial only.  While there is
early fb support in u-boot, we don't currently utilize it yet..  So
the first thing to display anything to the screen is the kernel.

 *But I have  a question. My BBB doesn't boot from a microSD, all LEDs come
 on immediately and stay on. How can I connect to it in this state?*


In a nutshell . . .uboot has control over the UART until it passes control
over to the OS.


 *If I have a serial console connection to the BBB using the FTDI cable,
 will I have to log in with a user name and password? Or will it behave as
 if I had a monitor attached, and boot messages will simply appear on
 screen?*


In short, no. You do not log in via the UART( serial ) console until the OS
is loaded, and in a running state. Just before this happens, you will see
the kernel boot log. When the board first comes up, and uboot has control
of the UART. It should start spitting out information related to what uboot
is doing. *IF* you get nothing but C . . . then this means uboot
was unable to find a suitable image to load.

*I'm trying to determine if getting an FTDI cable will help debug this
 failure to boot problem.*


You really do not have any other option. Aside from not bothering with it.
But honestly, how many boards did you say you have ? If you plan on doing
anything project wise with the boards. A serial debug adapter is pretty
much a requirement.

@Tim


On Windows puTTY is probably your best bet. I'd say that *everyone* who
uses COMx devices on windows use it, but I'd probably be wrong. There are
many apps out there. But puTTY and the paralax serial app are the two most
prominent on my mind.

So basically, you get an adapter, be is cable, or otherwise. You install
the drivers for that cable on windows. Look in hardware manager find the
COM port the drivers reserved for the device. Then you install puTTY,
change the connection type to serial, and then you must configure the
connection ( COM port, baud rate, parity etc.)

Anyway, I'm sure there is a how to on the web somewhere. I used to have one
on a forums for the beaglebone black when it was first released. But it
seems now that forum is defunct. Just make sure you use a 3.3v TTL adapter
. . . otherwise you'll probably damage your BBB.

 I've held down the button you're suggesting for nearly 2mins and no change 
 from booting from uSD. Once I eject the uSD and reboot the BBB i'm able to 
 boot into to the eMMC, which is running the flashed version of ubuntu. I'm 
 simply attempting to run the ubuntu desktop now(from uSD), instead of the 
 console version (on eMMC). 

  
I'm having the same problem as A M Kent. I have a BBB rev C. I've installed 
Ubuntu 12.04.2 on a microSD card, and the card is inserted in my BBB. When 
I turn on the power while holding down the boot switch, all 4 LEDs come on 
and remain lit. The BBB does not boot. I held down the boot switch a long 
time (about 60 seconds). Once I eject the microSD and reboot the BBB I'm 
able to boot into to the eMMC, which still contains the Debian that came 
installed on the BBB.


I have 5 other Beaglebone Blacks, all rev C, and they all boot just fine 
from a microSD card with Ubuntu 12.04.2. In fact, I took the microSD card 
from one of these BBBs and inserted it in my new BBB, and it doesn't boot.

This seems to indicate that my new BBB is defective. Do you guys agree?

Yes

 

It should boot from the onboard emmc.

Type “debian” as the username and “temppwd” as the password.

 

Then try “dmesg” to see all of the boot messages.

 

No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could 
do only a little.

I meant that I've never used the debug port and an FTDI cable on the BBB. I 
assume I would connect to the BBB using a serial terminal program (in my case I 
would be connecting from Windows).  When Robert said I could prove it easily by 
plugging in a ftdi usb-serial cable into the debug port, I assume he means that 
I can get an idea of what's happening by watching the messages on the serial 
terminal. Am I right?

I've held down the button you're suggesting for nearly 2mins and no change 
from booting from uSD. Once I eject the uSD and reboot the BBB i'm able to 
boot into to the eMMC, which is running the flashed version of ubuntu. I'm 
simply attempting to run the ubuntu desktop now(from uSD), instead of the 
console version (on eMMC).

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black won't boot from Micro SD, all LEDs remain lit

2014-03-31 Thread keenanprk
Gerald, I seem to be having a problem booting any image from a uSD. I 
originally tried putting other distros on the bbb when purchased back in Dec. 
Then I decided to just flash the eMMC with Angstrom, which seems to work fine. 

Now, however,  I am incorporating the radium camera cape into a project and I 
cannot seem to boot with their modified Angstrom image, which apparently is 
required to be used via uSD because the cape interferes with the eMMC.

Trying to boot from this and any other image produces user LED activity for 
about 3-5 minutes, and appears to be booting from uSD based on lights. Then 
suddenly without warning, the LED activity stops and the 2 middle user LEDs 
stay lit solid, along with the pwr light. I know this is related to power 
failure in other cases, but wondering if that is the same issue here? I have 
been using a combination of bench top and wall wart pwr supplies, all rated at 
5V/2A.

Any thoughts?
Peter

 well, the camera cape and radium board's modified image is working. I went 
 from a class 2 to a class 4 uSD. No idea if that was the fix. I also 
 re-downloaded the image and went thru trying to get it booted again. I 
 disconnected everything except an HDMI cord and the 5V 2.5 DC barrel plug, 
 and now it boots without too much trouble.

I would make sure you flash it correctly per the instructions and run it
from the DC jack.

Depending on what you have plugged in and how good the USB power source is,
it may not power the board.

OK. Information is helpful. It helps people help you when they are crafting

I would say based on the added sentences, unless you have more to tell,
that the other board, the one that does not work and heats up, is damaged.

Try reflashing the eMMC. and in the future, use the power button to shut
the board down instead of pulling power.

 Hi,

 I have a Beagleboard Black, San micro sdcard 16g extreme with the Kali 
 Linux Image on it. With the help of Tobin over at Win32 image writer I saw 
 that the write was correct with an image  
 G (microsd card) 122M
 G /storage/kali/images/beaglebone-black/root 6.72G
 opened partition to find 12 folders
 So the partition is there and working. Win32 image did its job.  This 
 means boot problem then I found your group. Read the threads.
 I modified the text file uEnv
 Used these following values 

 mmcdev=1
 bootpart=1:2
 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro

 I’m not sure why you want to make these changes in uEnv. If the SDCard is 
 installed, it is mmcdev=0 and eMMC is mmcdev=1. Best to use the default 
 uEnv file. 

 If you are unsure, you can always run each command at the u-boot prompt 
 and see what happens. You can list files in the FAT partition with “fatls 
 mmc 0” and load the uEnv.txt file with “run loadbootenv” and “run 
 importbootenv”, which updates your u-boot env. Check this with printenv. 
 Best way to learn is to do this step by step. 

 Regards,
 John


 to replace

 echo Booting from external microSD...; setenv mmcdev 0; else setenv mmcdev 
 1; if test $mmc0 = 1; then setenv mmcroot /dev/mmcblk1p2 rw; fi; 
 ext4load mmc 1:2 ${loadaddr} /boot/zImage  mw.l 4804c194 00c0; echo 
 Booting from internal eMMC...; fi

 No change. S2 button should be held until 4 leds light up - no leds light 
 up.
 Any tips,
 Thanks

 John,

 John
Thanks I was following William Hermans post. uEnv is the boot program which 
links into the image folders so the uEnv program has had no problems which 
is good to know. I will try the step by step approach.

 Hi,

 I've been using the classic Beaglebone for a while now and today received 
 my Beaglebone Black. Thing is when I tried to boot the BBB with the SD card 
 I was using on the classic BB the board remains locked up with the four 
 user LEDs lit. The distribution on the SD card is Angstrom. Any help will 
 be deeply appreciated!
