hi, I have successfully got the mini2440 running from NOR, but when I try to boot from NAND all I get is a very white screen, there is nothing from the console. I am assuming the board is not booting up any advise is welcome. Board is a 256mb model with T35 lcd and I am a beginner if this helps! thanks in advance.
I am having the exact same problem. I cant get anything other than a white screen on the T35 lcd. I have installed windows ce 6 (the t35 one), that just got a white screen when it loaded. I';ve also tried to put linux on the device following the instructions on here. That worked in so much that I can use the console locally when connected via DNW, the screen remains white. The lcd is definately the t35 one - I checked the code on it. I've also checked the cables are seated correctly. Any ideas?
A little bit of progress... Downloaded the attached bin file (u-boot-nand2k.bin) and followed the normal instructions for building thru supervivvi... use ... load ram 0x31000000 242332 u instead of load ram 0x31000000 0x0003b29c u this got me a prompt with no white screen, now need to see the OS!
@Mark Elliott: Have you tried to flash the default Qtopia image (128M) from the download page? @Simon: Have you used the Linux image from this site? Is your 5V power supply okay?
I used the linux image from the disk that came with it. Should i try another one from here? The power supply is providing 5.45v according to my voltmeter. The windows ce image has defo installed correctly - it's outputting the bootup sound. Just nothing on the display.
Yes thats a good idea with trying with another kernel. There are many around here (buserrors, mine (also has latest yaffs2 support) and so on) ;) If you got a cross compile toolchain, it shouldn't be a problem to build a zImage and upload it via supervivi. On my mini2440 it's working verry well by giving mini2440=3tb (for T35 display, touchscreen and backlight) with the parameters. Buserrors 2.6.32 Kernel: http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git/tree My customized, damn small 2.6.33 Kernel + USB upload tool: http://git.programmers-projects.de/?p=mini2440-dev.git;a=tree
any thoughts on this... the board is booting up ok, but I am not seeing the OS. I am trying to get android to work on the board by the way. I currently have the message... "wrong image format for bootm command" and then mini2440# prompt. The board sees the SD card, but it appears not to see the kernel on the card, card is setup as... ext2 with uImage ext3 with android file system swap space.
