cannot boot from devkit8000 with prebuilt image from sd card

[JF Gong]

Hi,

I follow the instructions http://code.google.com/p/0xdroid/wiki/UsingPreBuiltImages
exactly, however I got no luck to get boot from devkit8000. I have
tried several times and every time
I boot into angstrom system which is the default linux in the original
nand.

I have no problem to boot the android from sd card following the
devkit manual and image files from disk.
To my knowledge, i need following files to make the board booted from
sd card.
1. MLO which is the first level boot
2. u-boot which is the second level boot
3. uImage which is the kernel file
4. the root file system which is mounted on 2nd partition (ext3).
all those 4 files can be found on the original devkit disk.

However with the downloaded devkit8k-eclair-0x5_sgx.zip and so-called
new bootloader,
there seems only those files in the 1st partition (fat32).
1. 0xkernel.bin
2. android.ubi
3. uImage.bin
4. flash-boot.bin
5. install.conf (which I edit the same way as wiki suggested,
uncomment, change to 4.3inch).

the uImage.bin seems to be the uImage in the original devkit android
boot, but there is no MLO,
I don't know what is the usage of 0xkernal.bin and android.ubi, and
whether the flash-boot.bin is just the u-boot.

I think it will be helpful if 0xdoid can provide the similar files as
those in the stock disk such that we can boot
from the sd card. the "happy installer" seems not working and there is
no document or wiki to explain why the installer is doing.

thanks
jason

hi Jason,

Did you mean that you found a peripheral dependency in driver initialization?

Hi, Jim

No. It was my mistake.

the wiki page says:
* Plug the SD card in Devkit8000 SD slot and restart it.
* Enter the u-boot prompt, use the following command the chainload the
new bootloader.

I couldn't enter the u-boot at the beginning because I thought that I
could enter the u-boot by pressing
any key from my usb keyboard connected to the usb hub which is
connected with the board.
Obviously it doesn't work. later I use a USB-serial and it works fine.

thanks
jason

Hi all,

Again, I am facing similar problem where can I get the MLO & u-boot
files?
I did try use the recovery's board but that doesn't seem like correct.
