After about 1 week (!) I managed to get the linux logo + buildroot prompt. I have a 128M board and after a lot lot of search here are my conclusion : - a lot of link jffs2 images from different site & u-boot too are not working on 128M boards. - I have not been able to make something clean : 1) I needed to get a special u-boot.bin from this forum for 128M board (not moko) 2) I build a uImage from git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/mini2440.git but here not with the recommanded toolchain (http://labs.kernelconcepts.de/downloads/angstrom-armv4t-linux-gnueabi-to...) as expected ... I had to use the toolchain supplied with the board (?) 3) Only my rootfs from buildroot I made was able to produce a JFFS2 root fs that worked, it gaves me a linux logo + a prompt "welcome to buildroot" but I have no way to input anything at the moment !!! all thanks is very long and dark ... Does everyone has to fight as hard as me to get this board working ??? The ideal for me would be to be able to build the kernel + the root file system from the same "system" ex: buildroot or else but I found nothing for 128M boards ...
mini2440 128M first small success
"Does everyone has to fight as hard as me to get this board working ???" Yes, I had to. And it takes far more time than one week.
Yepp. It is hard to get little success. Also it is hard to find the right tutorials and to find the mistakes in the configuration files to figure them out. But I know that it works because it already has worked a little bit as I wanted ;)
I'm tired to try things to this board... Either I'm a bad developer or this board is much more hard the normal... Documentation fails, there's almost anything about this. When buying a board, it's better not look only to physical characteristics...
