setting linux

i have trying Installing Linux Qtopia on mini 2440 board. i have followed
all the instrcutions from formatting nand , putting super vivi loading
kernel image and rootfs_qtopia_qt4 files. after downloading i am getting
the qt application on the board. when i see thru hyperterminal all the
files are there. what is the problem how can this be sloved

davef
What command you do invoke to run your Qt application on the mini2440?

Giridharan
I am not getting the Linux logo on the screen
and the starting QT program is also not seen on screen

davef
If you can see all the files on the target via hyperterm that suggests that
that kernel and root filesystem has gone well.

Did you have the Linux logo before you downloaded your Qt app?

Did you make any changes to /etc/rcS ?

Post the complete bootup messages, there might be a hint in there.

davef
You should be able to start your Qt program from the terminal.

What command would you use to do that?

@Giridharan

U can run any qt app using ./filename -qws command over the terminal, as
dave suggested post us the entire output and tuto u followed to load the
system, which make us to give perfect solutions to solve ur query

Giridharan
thanks fo the reply I think the problem is on the display. 
There is no message. It stats with white background and the some
thin lines comes and stays. On the display it is written as P35.
is there any image file  for this. I am using ZImage_x35. is this ok

Sandeep Sondagar
Dear Giridharan,

zImage_x35 will not work. Try zImage_w35.

Visit this thread:- http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/5808   for LCD
parameters and zImage link on that.

Giridharan
dear sandeep,
Thanks for the reply. i used w35 image it worked but the touch screen is 
not working. how to calibrate and proceed.

lsk
calibrate is somewhere in config menu of Qtopia,
or if you wanna use terminal, maybe there'll be file name ts_calibrate
somewhere. (maybe /usr/bin/)

Make sure all your setting, paths and filenames before and after
installation is right, black screen with nothing appeared to me when I
installed kernel incompletely.

Giridharan
I am not able to find touchscreen file the program stops at Touch Cross
Hair to calibrate. how to proceed further

lsk
"program stops at Touch Cross Hair to calibrate"
Did the program let you calibrate that 5 points of the screen completely
and then stop working, or just open the calibrator and can't do anything?

you said you can access terminal, can you open Qtopia with command
./bin/qtopia? Is the touchscreen worked? Can you use your mouse instead of
touchscreen?

Giridharan
just open the calibrator and can't do anything. It doesn not proceed
further the message on the screen 
                  TSLIB calibration utility
                 Touch crosshair to calibrate
wnen we press on cross haor ntohing is happening

lsk
Which command you use for calibrating?

Could you tell me where did you get the rootfs image file? Wanna see it.

Giridharan
I solved it  i used image S70 instead of A70 it got solved

Giridharan
I have compiled c program and trying to eexcute in termainal
./hello.
it is displaying Illegal instruction
what is the problem

davef
Do a readelf -a filename.c (on the cross-compiled file and on your host
machine) and show us what the last 10 lines say.

Or readelf -A filename.c

mini2440 should say:

What is the path to your compiler?

A command  something like:

arm-linux --version 

might provide a clue.

davef
It was good you provided more than 10 lines :)

Giridharan
arm-linux --version is not accepting sayuing command not found
path is arm-linux 4.4.3/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain
is there anything extra need to be done

lsk
Your PATH is incorrect, check it again.
see where you extract toolschain to.

See the last entry.

arm-linux-gcc -v

didn't work for me probably because I set my paths differently
