I followed the instructions posted @ the devkit release page ..
But I got the following error when booting..

Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.41
Starting OS Bootloader...


U-Boot 1.3.3-svn333 (Sep 10 2009 - 16:49:01)

Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

The u-boot booting args I'm using are:

setenv bootargs console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/ram initrd=0x81600000,40M video=omapfb:mode:7inch_LCD

setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit;fatload mmc 0 80300000 uImage;fatload mmc 0 81600000 ramdisk.gz;bootm 80300000'

saveenv

Also, I tried the following boot args:

setenv bootargs console=ttyS2,115200n8 ubi.mtd=4 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs video=omapfb:mode:7inch_LCD

setenv bootcmd nand read 80300000 280000 300000\;bootm 80300000

saveenv

But it just boots from the NAND even if when I press the boot key while starting!!
Could anyone send the valid bootargs to boot it??

[Kan-Ru Chen]

Hi osama,

Thanks for testing! You can try to rename the uImage.bin to uImage,
then u-boot will auto-load it.

However, it seems you are using an out-of-date u-boot that ships with
devkit8000, so you might hang on the 'Uncompress kernel...' after the
installer is auto-loaded.

One solution is to replace the u-boot with a newer one. You can use
the one included in previous snapshot[1] or compile one by yourself.

Regards,
Kanru

[Kan-Ru Chen]

I've updated the wiki[1] and uploaded a pre-built u-boot. Have fun!

Hi,

It's flash-uboot.bin, not flash-boot.bin ;)

[osama gamal]

oops .. but I'm sure that I tried multiple times with flash-uboot.bin .. and I get the same error..

anyway I will try to reFormat the SD card and I will try to Flash again :(

[dnsjong]

Hi Osama,

Please try...
fatload mmc 0:1 80000000 flash-uboot.bin

[osama gamal]

I reformatted the SD Card and pasted the files again .. I was able to flash the new u-boot :)
Also, 0xdroid is flashed now .. I guess it ran without problems but the LCD doesn't show anything except a lot of noise :S
I'm using the Devkit 7inch LCD .. any advices??
Anyway, I will try to reFlash 0xdroid, :(

[osama gamal]

OOh .. The flashing failed and I can't boot again???!?!?!!?!?

I unzipped the files to the SD Card and put it in Devkit and rebooted

[osama gamal]

I was able to recover by booting from another SD card..
Now I recovered u-boot and flashed 0xdroid successfully but the same problem exist .. LCD not working .. just noise on it!!

[Wang Michael]

Hi osama,

 

Maybe you need to modify LCD drivr to fix 800x480 display.

 

/drivers/video/omap2/displays/panel-generic.c

    --   .x_res  = 800,
    --   .y_res  = 480,
    --   .pixel_clock = 36000,

 

, or you can add your 7inch LCD driver under the folder--/drivers/video/omap2/displays/.

 

Br,

Michael

Thanks for trying.

What is your LCD resolution? Set the videomode u-boot env would help

Hi Kan-Ru,

My platform is Devkit8000 board.

I got kernel source from 0xlab's Linux Kernel Tree(Kernel for
Devkit8000), and compiled it.
Then use the happy installer to install the kernel I compiled and
system(Android.ubi) you builded.

But the BTN_BACK key does't work.

Where can I get the same version kernel source you use in the release
of devkit8k-eclair-0x4.
Thank you!!

Ken

Sorry that I didn't mention that the Devkit8000 kernel tree has been
merged back to omap3 tree. Please checkout the omap3 tree, it should
be the same kernel as the released one :)

Hi!

I am using a Devkit8000 with an 7" lcd display attached. I created a
sd card with an available prebuild image. first i flashed my
bootloader as suggested -> U-Boot 2009.11-00424-gdc8c9fd-dirty (Mar 19

2010 - 19:15:32)

The installer seems also to run correctly (installing to nand). The
system boots, however i only get a noisy display on the screen. (using
the stable prebuild image with easy installer).
install.conf says:
[devkit8000]

# 7 inch
DEFAULT_DISPLAY = lcd
DEFAULT_VIDEOMODE = lcd:800x480

which should be correct for my setup

Did i forget something?

Thank you.

Could you please send us the picture capturing the LCD panel on your
DevKit8000 board?

We have to confirm what exactly happened on your device.

@Docacola .. that is exactly what happens with me :)

[Project Kennel]

Hi everyone,

I have my 8" LCD hooked up to my beagleboard with eclair working just
fine (same kernel I used for the donut build).

I am wondering, could it be uBoot settings that are causing your
problem?

Here are my bootargs, just encase it helps.

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 noinitrd root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
init=/init rootfstype=ext3 rw rootdelay=3 nohz=off
androidboot.console=ttyS2 omapfb.vram="1:4M,2:4M" omapfb.mode=dvi:
800x600MR-24@50'

I have taken a look into devkit8000 bootargs.
i have videomode=lcd:480x272 there which is wrong i guess. i have
tried to manually set videmode to lcd:800x480, however when i try to
boot then the console is flooded with:
omapdss DISPC error: GFX_FIFO_UNDERFLOW, disabling GFX
omapdss DISPC error: SYNC_LOST, disabling LCD

It seems you installed the bootargs for 4.3 inch panel.

You can try to disable framebuffer rotation (which only enabled on 4.3" board)

setenv optargs

Hi,

I've tried setting the videomode to lcd:800x480 and the omapfb.rotate
to 0 but I get the same problem as mentioned below. I did install
0xdroid with the easy installer on the correct settings. Somehow these
don't get saved correctly during the install.

Can someone provide the correct bootargs?

Cheers,
Bakkie

Hi DOCa Cola,

The same finding with me to install prebuilt image from SD through
uImage, even we remarked 4.3" inch in install.conf as below.
-----------------------------------
:

# 7 inch
DEFAULT_DISPLAY = lcd
DEFAULT_VIDEOMODE = lcd:800x480

# 4.3 inch
# DEFAULT_DISPLAY = lcd
# DEFAULT_VIDEOMODE = lcd:480x272
# OPTION_ARGS = omapfb.rotate=1
:
-----------------------------------
The installer still chose 4.3" inch setting on bootargs for kernel
command line.
Please try to do.
1. Change resolution lcd:800x480 as what you done.
2. Change from omapfb.rotate=1 to omapfb.rotate=0
3. Add vram=12M
It worked for me with 7" LCD display. Touch screen was functional as
well.

Good luck!

BR,
dnsjong

[osama gamal]

@Kan-Ru:

Every time I flash 0xdroid to DevKit8000 without enabling flash u-boot in install.conf the flashing fails!! WEIRD!

Then, the NAND is erased and I have to boot from another MMC and after entering the u-Boot, I replace the MMC with the 0xDroid and then mmcinit, fatload, go and I get my u-boot back again.

@dnsjong:

I set the configuration exactly as you said but nothing happened :(

Could you send me exactly the install.conf and the u-boot bootargs you are using!! :D

Hi Osama,

If the prebuilt image was not installed successfully by auto-run-
installer, please try it manually to flash NAND by using the same
image.

flash-uboot.bin <-- U-Boot image
0xkernel.bin <-- Kernel image
android.ubi <-- UBIFS--File System image

I am using 256MB NAND, take care the erase/flash range of yours.
----------MTD for Android---------------------
Storage mem.range name
0x000000000000-0x000000080000 : "X-Loader"
0x000000080000-0x000000260000 : "U-Boot"
0x000000260000-0x000000280000 : "U-Boot Env"
0x000000280000-0x000000680000 : "Kernel"
0x000000680000-0x000010000000 : "File System"
-----------------------------------------------

Regarding the bootargs, See below from my setting.
------
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 ubi.mtd=4 root=ubi0:rootfs rw
rootfstype=ubifs init=/init rootwait vram=12M omapfb.rotate=0
omapdss.def_disp=lcd omapfb.mode=lcd:800x480'
setenv bootcmd 'nand read 80300000 280000 240000;bootm 80300000'
boot
------

Thanks guys, Problem solved :)

Just download and flash the latest u-boot that kan-ru uploaded on the wiki and everything should work fine ;)

Hi osama,

 

Where is the location of the new uboot?

I also wanna have a try.

 

BTW, are you using the latest kernel of 0xlab, have you make any modification on it for running on 7inch lcd?

Thanks,

Michael

@Wang:

I have bought Devkit GPRS, GPS, WiFi Modules

and I wanna get them working on the kit under 0xDroid ..

If anyone have any of these modules please contact me, we can work together to get them working :)

[Wang Michael]

Hi osama,

 

Well actually I have a usb modem in my hand.

 

Since maybe there are still some common work to do, I'd like to co-work with you to get it done.

 

Thanks,

Hi dnsjong,

Thanks for the bootargs... These work for me and I can now boot into
android without a problem. However, I would like to be able to write
these settings permenantly. This, as far as I can tell, should be done
with 'saveenv' but the command is not in the uboot. Is there any other
way to save the changes to the bootargs permenantly?

Cheers,

Bakkie

--------------------------------------------

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 ubi.mtd=4 root=ubi0:rootfs rw
rootfstype=ubifs init=/init rootwait vram=12M omapfb.rotate=0
omapdss.def_disp=lcd omapfb.mode=lcd:800x480'
setenv bootcmd 'nand read 80300000 280000 240000;bootm 80300000'
boot

hi Bakkie,

Alternatively, you can try our installer to set up everything for you:
http://code.google.com/p/0xdroid/wiki/InstallConf

We plan to extend installer to provide flexible functionality to fit
different configurations
among several combinations.

Thanks,

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the quick reply. The problem with the installer is that the
settings for the 7inch lcd aren't copied correctly. The installer just
uses the 4.3 inch settings no matter what you fill in in the
install.conf . I've tried this a couple of times already. Am I doing
something wrong?

Cheers,
Bakkie

Hi All,

I am using devkit8000 board with 7" LCD. With the pre-built image,
LCD driver is throwing the following error

>omapdss DISPC error: GFX_FIFO_UNDERFLOW, disabling GFX
> omapdss DISPC error: SYNC_LOST, disabling LCD

Please do let me know pointers on how to proceed further

I am writing a FAQ[1] on the wiki, hope this can explain your question :)

The critical part is to check the resolution and rotation settings.

I have devkit8000 with 7" LCD.

I have tried the eclair 0x4 for devkit8k.
Some questions:
1) When running the flash-uboot.bin, is it possible to wipe the (old)
uboot environment from nand?
Because I had previously tried the Mar 10 release, and the uboot
environment from that is still in NAND when running new flash-
uboot.bin

2) If you leave SD card inserted when rebooting after 0xdroid image
installer is finished, the 0xdroid image installer will run again.
Until you boot without sd card, then it will run from nand.

3) when swiping the launcher open, i got the puzzle application
stopping unexpectedly (boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles)
Here is logcat: http://pastebin.com/e8VVucum
