I solved the anterior problem. Now, my kernel is loading, but it stops at this point:

[ 17.323150] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
[ 17.567810] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): using internal journal
[ 17.573120] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): recovery complete
[ 17.823211] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
[ 17.830230] VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 179:2.
[ 17.836364] Freeing init memory: 160K
[ 30.083129] libertas: can’t load helper firmware
[ 30.083129] libertas: failed to load helper firmware

please help me, I need this kernel to finish my degree this week..A lot of thanks,
Adrian.

Hi! Thanks for your tutorial. I followed all steps, but when I insert de card in the board and connect it I can show throw the serial console:

IGEP-X-Loader 2.1.0-2 (Jul 20 2011 – 12:19:10)
XLoader: CPU OMAP3530
Scanning JFFS2 FS: . done.

And blocks at this point… dont load the kernel.. what can be the problem?

A lot of thaks, Adrian!

That is because export is on user-level (without sudo). And you used: sudo make. So then $export is not set, default will be x86.

I think it’s sudo ./rootstock –fqdn igepv2 –login mike –password letmein \
–imagesize 2G –seed xubuntu-desktop –dist lucid, is that right?

Hi all,

Great tutorial Michael! Question though for you and anyone else that can answer it. How would I go about adding desktop packages to the above steps?

Thanks!
Andrew

Hello!
I’m a student and I have a project that goes like this, I have a USB flash drive which will be connected to a circuit(I’m planning to use this IGEPv2 board) wherein my mobile phone can access the files of the flash drive, move, send to and from via bluetooth using FTP. Does IGEPv2 support this?

I hope this is the solution to my problem.
Thanks in advance. Hope someone will reply.

Thanks. I fixed the instructions. What happened was that I probably had autostart=yes in my U-boot environment, and you probably didn't. When you have this, bootm ${fileaddr} is automatically run after a download with commands like fatload, nboot and tftpboot.

I think you have to type “bootm” to boot from the image loaded in memory, if you don’t want to type it each time you boot the board, then you can add bootm at the end of bootcmd :

$ setenv bootcmd ‘mmc init 0 ; fatload mmc 0 80000000 uImage ; bootm’
$ saveenv
$ boot

The export ARCH=arm did not helped in my case, I had to do it this way:
$ sudo make ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/media/rootfs modules_install

Nice guide!
But I have one problem: After doing the configurtaion in DasUBoot the kernel does not boot any more:

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 3 2 1 0
mmc0 is available
reading uImage

2716704 bytes read
U-Boot #

and nothing happens. I have the normal uboot terminal. Typing “boot” I get the same messages again and I am back in the terminal.
