Hello,
I recenty got an Olimex SAM9_L9260 board. After connecting to a 5V/3A power supply, connecting to a null modem, Hyperterminal, I got the board to boot and was able to login.
Now my questions are:
1. The box the board came in is empty. No quick starting quide. How do I format / boot to an OS on my SD card? I tried to format a 128 MB SD card using Rufus and put Ubuntu 22.04 on it. No go.
2. Is / Are there any jumper(s) I can set so it will boot to SD/MMC card. I see this in the SAM9_L9260 file:
Is the SD/MMC card supported?
A: The SD/MMC card is fully supported, including detection of card insertion/removal and
write lock
3. I also saw this in the PDF file. Where is the NANDF_E and DF_E jumpers are located?
A: Make sure that NANDF_E jumper is not connected and DF_E jumer is connected. If the
dataflash has been correctly programmed, the board should start up
4. I got this from https://www.olimex.com/wiki/SAM9-L9260
git clone -b olimex https://github.com/OLIMEX/at91bootstrap.git
and when I tried to build it using:
make sam9_l9260_uboot_defconfig
this does not work.
What's the latest instruction?
As you noticed by default SAM9-L9260 comes prepared with Linux. This Linux image and sources can be found in this this ISO - mount it and explore the contents inside:

Notice that SAM9-L9260 is not a personal computer, it will not boot Ubuntu 22.04 from a flash drive.
