Hi everyone.. I installed DNW and then connected my mini2440 to my pc. Then i followed the instructions in the usb download manual(please see the attachment) upto downloading the "yaffs root image via usb". Then the manual says i should reboot my board with the boot mode switch at the NAND position. But after doing this my board is not booting... Where have i gone wrong... or do i need to do anything more??? Please help Thanks in advance Chinmay
Adding to my previous post.... The first command in the manual is to format NAND flash... has this erased everything.... do i need to put some things back on to the board???? please help Thanks Chinmay
If you followed the instructions and everything is transmitted successfully (the root image takes some time) then linux/qtopia should boot. You will also see informations in the DNW window, if you have the serial cable connected and boot from NAND. Tom
Thanks Tom. I followed the instructions in the manual and loaded everything. I connected the serial cable and booted the board with NAND flash. Here is what i see on the DNW screen s3c2440-nand s3c2440-nand: Tacls=3, 29ns Twrph0=7 69ns, Twrph1=3 29ns NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xf1 (Samsung NAND 128MiB 3,3V 8-bit) Scanning device for bad blocks Bad eraseblock 21 at 0x0000002a0000 .. ..

Where am i going wrong??? Please help Thanks Chinmay. PS. I have attached the file containing the complete details of the problem from the DNW screen
Do you have connected a display to the board and also what power supply do you use? You need a 5V power supply with at least 1A. Regards, Andreas PS: Please dont upload files to the forum which are already in the download section. (download.pdf)
Problem solved!!!!! Thank you all The packaging of my friendly arm said that it has a 64M Flash Actually it has a 128M Flash :) So i put the necessary files for the 128M Flash And it worked.. Thanx again for your time everyone..\ Now All is Well!! Chinmay
Neither Linux nor WinCE will boot stand alone with my board. The only way to get the Mini2440 booting is using DNW's Boot command. I have tried both 128 M and 64 M flash versions of SuperVivi. Any ideas? Regards, Peter
