hello I have a mini2440 and I wanna install wince 6 when I take it on NOR mode and turn it on, it does not show me any bios menu. I have read the pdf of mini2440 and I have done every thing is said there but it does not show me the bios menu... please tell me how I can solve it. thanx.
Have you also read the Download Manual? http://www.friendlyarm.net/downloads#manuals Is your serial cable okay and not a crossed one?
I´ve the same problem. I tried to follow the CD User Manual steps sent with the plate, using the hyperTerminal, and it doesn´t work. Using just DNW as showing in this manual doesn´t work as well... I´m waiting for solution. Thank´s
Does DNW say you have established serial comms?
You don't need Hyperterminal. -Connect serial port with the cable that came with the mini -Start up DNW -Goto "configuration" and choose the comport you're using.Check baudrate, it schould be 115K -Then press "Serial port" -> "connect" -Reset your mini and there should be something in the dnw screen. Ps I'm using dnw for wince; http://www.friendlyarm.net/dl.php?file=dnw_wince.zip
Thanks for the solution. DNW show the menu when connect with serial cable but not with USB cable. Anyone know why?
I believe we use the COM port to send the commend to the device in Bootloader mode from NOR Flash. At the same time we use the USB transfer data to and from the NAND Flash? Is this true? My assumption at the beginning is we can do all these via USB alone.
That's right. USB is only for data transfer and the com port is for the bios menu.
Hello, I have developed a similar board as mini2440 every component is same, but as mini2440 comes with a pre-loaded BIOS, can anyone tell me how do I load BIOS into the MCU ?
