linux

hello everyone,
i have brought board of mini2440 of s3c2440a and i installed limux on that
using following steprs:
1. bootloader: supervivi-64M (images\linux)
2. kernet: zimag_N35 (images\linux)
3. root file: root_qtopia-64M (images\linux)
my switch was on NOR mode.
then i switched off the supply made switch to NAND mode and ON the supply
but nothing came on hyperterminal of DNW.
how would i know that linux is installed on board?
have i done the correct procedure?
pls let me know.
thank you

Follow this guide: http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=download.pdf

dear sir,
thanks for the reply
i will go thorugh it. but i forgot to mention that i did it thorugh DNW
(serial communication) and under windowXP OS. is it OK?
pls guide me
thank you

XP is just fine wit DNW.

dear sir,
thanks for the reply
does it mean that linux is installed successfully on the board. if yes then
how to check it? and how i will write program in xp to download it on
board. will it wipe off my linux installation. i have downloaded one bin
file in nand switch. is it ok. 
i thought it download on nand switch as linux is installed when witch was
at nor. m i going correct.
and for examples shall i refere linux examples given in the download page
of friendlyarm. but for that i need linuz as OS right? can i do programming
on linux fedora or redhat?
do i have to install linux 2.6.32 and its gcc compiler and then start work?
pls reply
thank you

thanks Andreas and davef 
i downloaded the linux and started in NAND mode and switched it ON but on
screen nothing is seen i.e it is just booting m i right? i have to write
code in linux to see the screen is it so?
pls reply
thank you

Do you have used the files from the download page?

You will see the linux boot messages on the display on start-up.

dear sir,
when we boot in nand mode it gives only a white display. and when i
downloaded one of the sample binary files it showed me the screen.
now i want to download qtoia-2.2.0 for friendly arm. i.e the way which i
got the board from manufacturer ther was OS working on it. i wnat to
install that OS again then which file i should use to download?
thank you for reply

I had the same yesterday , after rebooting in NAND nothing happened.

The thing I did to get it better is to do it again, the supervivi procedure
seems not really OK for erasing Flash, i.e. : many bad blocks whereas none
in Uboot (???) .

My advice : do it again, and the best should be to switch from NOR<->NAND
after power off and remove USB .

dear sir,
i did installation 3 times but the result is same.blank screen in nand
mode. so i downloaded one binary file of 2440test.bin in it in nand mode.
and it works fime. but when i made my own program and download it it doesnt
work.
i m still working in window XP. is it ok? if not then how my 2440test file
got compiled and downloaded in board. i am using ads ide.
can you tell me the procedure how to install linux 2.2.6 on pc and how to
use linux-gcc compiler for the programming of arm9 board.
pls guide me
thank you

Where can I find a 100% English version of the root_qtopia-128M image ?
The one on the CD and on the web both has Chines letter under the icons.

Got it, there is a option under "Language Setting", it just was impossible
to read it in Chines first :)

In the wiki there are also useful informations
http://code.google.com/p/friendlyarm/wiki/Qt and Links to tutorials
http://code.google.com/p/friendlyarm/wiki/Links

Ok I can tell you what is the problem and how to correct it.

In fact, I understood that this it come from the u-boot actual image.

Go to bill's forum : he describes well a workaround and it worked for me,
thanks to him.

hi dezso,

google for "qtopia" "rpm". These contains any language packages, at least
English, French, German. You can take the language files from rpm and put
in your qtopia tree. Now you can choose a language. Maybe, you have to
register the available languages in a .conf, I don't remember so exactly.

skip

dear sir,
now i chose the option of download zimage onto ram and downloaeded the
zImage_N35 and then boot from the ram
i showed me the linux picuture and booting was complete but as soon as i
switched it off and ON the image disappeared. how to make it reappear. and
i have no idea about u-boot and linux so can u tell me what u did to work
in window xp
thank you

Did you follow this guide:
http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/1190?lang=de#5704

What is the NAND flash size of your board?

PS: Download to RAM is not right.

dear rob,
i followed the same steps as mentioned in the forum. and i did in other way
also i.e thaieasyelec has shown. buti m not getting it.
my flash size is 128MB.
x: for partition of nand
v: download supervivi-128M
k: linux kernel i.e zimage-n35
y: root_yaff i.e. rootqtopia-128m
then when downloading is finished, i switch off the board moved to nand and
disconnected the usb and sitch on the board. display is blank

i followed another method of thaieasyelec.com (chapter:3.4)
q:supervivi cmd where i changed the address ip i.e given the document 
z:download zimage : zimage-n35
g:boot linux from ram
linux started and when i switched off board and moved to nand and
disconnected the usn switch of the board display is white
similarly i did for window ce but the result is same

ok if i try without OS then i get problem in 2440init.s where it gives
error in main and copyto nand function. this file i have taken from
2440test i.e under the folder test_program given in the cd.
but a small program of led blink is also not working.
i moved towards OS as i had heard somewhere that in arm9 interrupt works
only on OS platform.

but i wrote the program according to example in adz for interrupt but still
no progress then i wrote led blink program in keil and converted to binary
file using h-converter which comes with h-jtag utility. but still the
result is same.
i m unable to write a simple c program and run it.
pls guide me my email address is zagadeprajaktaaa@gmail.com

dear sirs,
pls reply. i m stuck in this problem
thank you

If you did the exact steps from the manual and if you also used the files
from the download page then it should work...
Do you see the linux boot messages in DNW when you boot from NAND?

dear sir,
no i dont see anything. but now i want to know can i work on board without
OS i.e simple c program the way we do in keil. can i write simple c program
which includes interrupt in ADC and download in nand then will it work?
pls clr my doubt i want to start with programming at least.
thank you
