I have problem with the boot logo picture on my 7" screen. If I load an image 240x320 it is working. But if I load an image larger for my 7" screen 800x480 pixels. The logo cant seen on boot and dnw gives message No logo picture. Thanks.
Try this version of nboot: http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/478 Also, is the picture you upload a bmp? Thank you, Errol
I have used two nboot_A70.bin file at the link Errol but still no image. Off course its a bmp file. I have used 800x480 pixel 16 bit color 187KB bmp file. I have follewed these steps on DNW. [f] Format NAND Flash [n] Download Nboot for WinCE [l] Download WinCE boot-logo after that I open the Mini2440 in normal mode DNW shows a message "no logo picture" Thanks in advance
DNW program gives this message after downloding winCE boot-logo ----------------------------------------------------- Now, Downloading [ADDRESS:30000000h,TOTAL:1152064] RECEIVED FILE SIZE: 1152064 (562KB/S, 2S) Downloaded file at 0x30000000, size = 1152054 bytes Width, Height, BPP is 800 480 24 The picture is bigger than 384k bytes ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks in advance.
It is rejecting the image. :-) What happens if you make the image 24 bit color?
--Width, Height, BPP is 800 480 24 It was 24 bit color but also I tried at least mono color but nothing was changed. How did you loaded the 800x480 image may be the problem my DNW program it is rejecting the image. I have download the DNW program from here "http://www.friendlyarm.net/downloads";
In your earlier post you said it is 16bbp "I have used 800x480 pixel 16 bit color 187KB bmp" I think something is automatically converting it to 24bbp and messing it up. Make sure it is 24bbp. It complains about size, "The picture is bigger than 384k bytes". But your picture is only 187KB. So something is going wrong in the converting. What version of SuperVIVI are you using?

I will have to go look what my SuperVivi version is. Now your file is 1.1MB, max logo size for your supervivi is 384KB. Do you have a menu item "[i] Version"? If not then you have an old SuperVivi. Thanks, Errol
There is no menu item "[i]" the all choice are blow. ---------------------------------------------------- ##### FriendlyARM BIOS 2.0 for 2440 ##### [x] format NAND FLASH for Linux [v] Download vivi [k] Download linux kernel [y] Download root_yaffs image [a] Absolute User Application [n] Download Nboot for WinCE [l] Download WinCE boot-logo [w] Download WinCE NK.bin [d] Download & Run [z] Download zImage into RAM [g] Boot linux from RAM [f] Format the nand flash [b] Boot the system [s] Set the boot parameters [u] Backup NAND Flash to HOST through USB(upload) [r] Restore NAND Flash from HOST through USB [q] Goto shell of vivi Enter your selection: -------------------------------------------------------- Thanks
These are my options.

You need to update the NOR flash via JTAG. Here is a guide: http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=download.pdf
I have followed the same document. The page 10 has the steps below. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Press f to format the NAND flash. 7. Press v to download supervivi via USB. Enter your selection: v USB host is connected. Waiting a download. 8. Now the bootloader is waiting for data. Select USB Port -> Transmit and choose the file to send to the board: supervivi-XXX (XXX = NAND flash size) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, I have connected with the JTAG. But this time after LPT port and JTAG setting H-JTAG was could not detect my device. And it has given this message. "Unable to find target. Please make sure that the hardware is properly connected and powered up." Thanks in advance.
You must use JTAG. Make sure that you set everything as indicated in the pictures(if i remember correctly) Thanks, Errol
Hi, I'm very new with the use of linux. Is there a guide to copy a file from my PC to the /tmp directory of my mini2440? Thanks, Wim
