AM3352 SOM debian sources?

[ocklin]

Apologies if I have missed them somewhere but are the Debian sources for the AM335s available somewhere? If not, can you please publish them on github?

The torrent images look a lot like the BB's but there obviously differences.

Thanks,
Bernd

hi,

How to install the u-boot on the uSD card?

I used these commands:

Code Select Expand

dd if=spl/u-boot-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=8

Code Select Expand

dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=32

but does not work.

I used these commands:

Code Select Expand

dd if=spl/u-boot-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=8

Code Select Expand

dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=32

The files to be transfered to the SD card for uboot on the AM3352 SOM are MLO and u-boot.img. See the "5. Write the Uboot on sd card" instructions on https://www.olimex.com/wiki/Building_Debian_AM3352_SOM for details.


[Following the instructions on the referenced Wiki page I was able to compile, install and run uboot on am AM3352 SOM]

This is very interesting. I have not used dd command, instead I used a simple cp command and works. But I copied the files you mentioned, MLO and u-boot.img, to first fat16 partition.

I followed these instructions: http://www.armhf.com/boards/beaglebone-black/bbb-sd-install/

Hi,

Well, now i'm using Beaglebone kernel: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=4942.0. I don't have this problem with this kernel.

[ferhat]

Hi ,
Thank you for the reply.

I am also using this kernel
git://github.com/beagleboard/kernel.git
v3.8.13

and debian8.3 minimal filesys

at first boot I can connect to login screen via serial ttyO0 but when I restart again I could not any more.

What may be the problem?

[vinifr]

hmm, I see.

In beaglebone kernel you need to use ttyS0 instead ttyO0. 

But that is strange. The kernel version should be 4.1, link: https://github.com/beagleboard/linux

[ferhat]

the problem is solved with below kernel patch

https://github.com/gumstix/meta-gumstix/commit/1f2c3a8a1cafd5451ef28584ce7c0d654147a2a8

which states :
Serial TTY (ttyO2 and ttyGS) fail to spawn on 2nd boot without FHANDLE
enabled.
