Hi everybody. I'm really tired with installing linux into mini2440. i DID install sucessful linux into mini2440 before. However, i don't know why today i could not. Fist, i format Nand flash by [x], then [y] option. After that, i load kernel by [k] and the last is loading file system by [y]. Finish. I boot by [b] option. It run! However, when i toggle the switch into Nand side, it coud not run!!! It complains: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NAND device: Manufacture ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xda (Samsung K9F2G08U0B) Found saved vivi parameters. ##### 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 [i] Version: 0945-2K Enter your selection: --------------------------------------------------------------------- who knows this problem, please help me.

install linux into mini2440
oh, sorry. 1st: formart Nand flash by [x], [f] 2nd: load vivi [v] 3rd: load kernel [k] 4nd: load yaffs2 [y] but, linux doesn't work!!!
Hi, The boot progress is complex, so there are many many reasons that can make your board boot failed. 4 steps that you did are Ok, but the images that you use to download to your board, where did you get them? Try to use the image files in "images" directory in your DVD. Chose the image files that are appropriate with your board, especially the uimage must be corresponding to the LCD on your board. If you chose the uimage that is not corresponding to LCD, Linux system will still work, you can use commands via Serial port, but LCD cannot display properly.
Thank all you anyway, i did solve it. However, it's quiet strange! Few weeks ago, in step 2, i loaded which has name as 'supervivi_128MB' or 'supervivi_64MB' and my board worked fine. But, now i did the same steps as in few weeks ago, it doesn't work at all! Instead, I load 'viboot.bin' for 2nd step and it runs now!! -------------------------------------------- @lc2047 You should follow these steps, 1st: formart Nand flash by [x], [f] 2nd: load vivi [v] ---> Load vboot.bin 3rd: load kernel [k] ---> Load "zImage_T35" 4nd: load yaffs2 [y] -----> Load "root_qtopia-128M.img" that's all.
Hello , I am facing problem with uboot. once I load it to ram it hangs. Can anybody provide me uboot image for 128M mini2440 flash board? rgds Koustuv
koustuv, 128 MiB NAND or 128 MiB SDRAM? For the 128 MiB NAND you can try Barebox as a bootloader instead of uboot. Its tested and works for all known Mini2440 with 64 MiB SDRAM and various NAND sizes.
