Hello, I am working on ALIX3D3 [0] BSP [1]. It is an x86-compatible PC with AMD Geode LX Processor. It boots from CF Card and has Award BIOS.
I enabled Geode specific features in the kernel (CS5536 PATA, Sound, Geode Framebuffer, etc) and I produce "live" image so that I can directly "dd" it into CF Card and boot. However, when I boot it, I see "waiting for removable media" and cannot go forward. In the dmesg output, I see that all geode specific features are OK. The kernel probes CF Card and finds it as "sda", I can see sound card and framebuffer works as expected. However, udevadm complains about not finding /dev/sda* I have looked at how live image was generated and saw that it creates an msdos file system, not another volume. So, I dig into other bootable image and found out that "vmdk" image actually creates ".hdddirect" with valid partitions. I tried with that image type, and dd'ed ".hdddirect" image. In the end, it complained about not finding initrd as the boot partition of ".hdddirect" only includes syslinux and vmlinuz, not initrd. I would appreciate any help on deploying these image on the hardware. It seems that having initrd in .hdddirect would solve the problem but I'm not sure how I can accomplish this. ===== Bitbake Output ===== Build Configuration: BB_VERSION = "1.18.0" BUILD_SYS = "x86_64-linux" NATIVELSBSTRING = "Ubuntu-12.04" TARGET_SYS = "i586-poky-linux" MACHINE = "alix3d3" DISTRO = "poky" DISTRO_VERSION = "1.4.1" TUNE_FEATURES = "m32 i586" TARGET_FPU = "" meta meta-yocto meta-yocto-bsp = "dylan:e4a0a4c5e419154a34710a1b6c28d4180c6304c3" meta-hamradio = "master:243f71144a3fb9a1dbeb81cfc6c46157627b5aa8" meta-alix3d3 = "master:46afebe021f259206941445a643afe2c6dbc0d2d" ===== End: Bitbake Output ===== Regards, Eren [0] http://pcengines.ch/alix3d3.htm [1] https://github.com/eren/meta-alix3d3 -- . 73!
