bootloader for WinCE???

olf
I've got mini2440 with preinstalled linux, but I need WinCE.

First of all I've tried to update NOR and NAND bootloaders and I've faced a
number of problems:

1. After downloading bootloaders (sipeeVIVI, u-boot, and some other) my
host PC doesn't see mini2440 as USB device. So I can't update device soft
via USB. Only serial interface is availible with DNW v0.50A. 

2. When I boot mini2440 with  DNW v0.50A running I see information string 
##### FriendlyARM BIOS for 2440 #####
In all guides I've read about installing WinCE on mini2440 is written that
there must be string
##### FriendlyARM BIOS 2.0 for 2440 #####
Where can I get corresponding bootloader?

3. Is it necessary to format NAND manually when I migrate from Linux to
WinCE?

1. Did you have install USB driver? Check the CD/DVD that come with board.
it's name should be start with [FriendlyARM USB Download Driver Setup]

2. To get BIOS version 2.0 (on NOR flash) you must flash NOR memory with
H-JTAG V0.4.4 (must be this version only) and follow the instruction (just
search around here, there should be .pdf on how to format/upgrade NOR
flash.

3. I don't know (what did you mean?). There maybe some automatically way to
batch them?

Best regards.

thank you for reply.

1. yes, I have installed USB driver, and it's working correctly with native
NOR bootloader (seems like it's u-boot but i can't find out it's version)

2. I used H-JTAG v1.1 and suceeded in loading supervivi from here:
http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=supervivi_20100818.zip into NOR but
as result this supervivi loaded into my mini2440 doesn't permit to transmit
*.bin files via USB.

I've managed to load WinCE 5.0 into my mini2440 this way:

- I've loaded STEPLDR.nb1 into NAND with native NOR bootloader
- than I've loaded EBOOT_70inch.nb0 into NAND with native NOR bootloader
- after that i've loaded NK.bin with EBOOT, from NAND.

now my mini2440 is booted with WinCE, but touchscreen doesn't work properly
(non calibrated).

but I'd like to find supervivi version capable to receive data via USB.

can you explain why do you advice to use H-JTAG v0.4.4 only?
 
do you mean, that loading supervivi from here:
http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=supervivi_20100818.zip into NOR with
H-JTAG v1.1 is not correct?

I want you to use H-JTAG v0.4.4 because it's come with those board(in
CD/DVD) so it should be compatible enough to make board works.And also I
have try H-JTAG v1.0 and unable to flash board. So H-JTAG v1.1 may
works(I've never try it myself)


Try this topic ,I think you may need their experience.

after flash BIOS to ver.2, I've format NAND by following step

f -> format .............
n -> nboot_N35.bin (because I use 3.5" board)
w -> NK_N35.bin (window image file)

I'm using Win CE 6.0 on Mini2440 3.5" and it's work fine.

To use touch screen just calibrate it, to calibrate it just go to control
panel (easiest way is use USB mouse to enter control panel).

I think, the problem is in the version of bootloader. can you upload *.bin
from you mini2440, and send it to my e-mail? my e-mail is:
tech_labs@inbox.ru :-)))))))))))))

Did you follow these steps when you flashed the NOR:
http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=download.pdf

The latest Supervivi from the download page has no problems and should
work.

olf
Yes I did. Step by step. 

But in NAND of my mini2440 I have u-boot bootloader.

Dear Frends!  

I didn't tell, that I have problem with download supervivi to NAND. I tell,
that supervivi, form the download page doesn't permit to transmit *.bin
files via USB. But supervivi is work! And if you have a u-boot in NOR you
can't download WinCE image if you boot mini2440 from NOR. 

Tell me please, is anybody trying to boot mini2440 from NAND after
installing supervivi from the download page? Does host PC see mini2440 as
USB device in this case?

Sorry for my english. :-)))))

Andreas Watterott
I think I now understand. The USB connection doesn't work when you boot
Supervivi from NOR, but the serial console works.
If the Supervivi update via HJTAG was successful then it can only be a PC
driver problem or connection problem. Have you tried another USB port, USB
cable or another computer?

I use resource from this site.
http://www.thaieasyelec.com/Free-Service-from-ThaiEasyElec/ARM9-mini2440...
Most of them are in English, but some are in Thai(and not concern mini2440
so don't worry).

If you open DNW 0.50A and connect USB from computer to board, what's
showing in the DNW 0.50A's title bar? USB:x ? USB:OK ?

Best regards.

Thanks everyone very much!

I guess i'm understand a problem.

My device is EM2440-III + 7inch THT LCD with 64M NAND and 64MB ROM.

When i've program supervivi - 128M to NOR via H-JTAG USB becames to work. 
It's mean, that supervivi - 64M - broken. And I muts to buy 128MB version,
or find corrected supervivi for 64MB NAND with USB support.
