micro2440 not detecting USB host

Hi,

I need some help. I have a Friendly ARM micro2440 board that has Supervivi
bootloader installed. My Linux host is Fedora 12 (Kernel
2.6.32.26-175.fc12). 

I need to flash u-boot in the board. I am connecting the USB host cable,
Serial cable and power cable to the board. I move the S2 switch to NOR
position and power on the board. I see the SuperVivi bootloader menu.

##### FriendlyARM BIOS for 2440 #####

When I select the Download & run option (d), I get the following message:

Enter your selection: d
Clear the free memory 
USB host is not connected yet.

When I use s3c2410_boot_usb utility, I get the following error:

[root@rupam s3c2410_boot_usb]# ./s3c2410_boot_usb
Cannot find QT2410 device in bootloader mode

Can someone help to understand what's going wrong here.

Thanks,
Rupam

Maybe, try this:

Select <q>

and follow the rest of his tutorial.  This what I need to do on the
mini2440.

Hi Dave,

I have tried that already. The messages I pasted earlier was to just
download a general file. 

I have tried the 'q' option but I keep getting the error "USB host is not
connected yet".

I am using the USB cable from Andahammer.com's SDK. I have also tried to
use the USB cable from my HP printer. Nothing works. 

I have also tried everything on Ubuntu 10.10.

Not able to figure out if some driver on PC side is missing.

Thanks,
Rupam

Could you find the solution ? I have also same problem. maybe we should use
the other usb input on the mini2440?

I have also same problem.

I have same problem too.

u have to dowload USB drivers for friendly arm board, then install it so
that u can fix the problem.

I'm running win 7 and win xp in VMware but I can not install the
driver??what's wrong with it??i can't understand chinese in there !!

I couldn't get it to work from win7-64, and not from xp or ubuntu10.10
running in VirtualBox on win7.
Since XP won't run on my hardware, the only way I got it to work was
installing ubuntu10.10 on second partition. I used 32bit version just in
case, since I have read reports of problems with 64bit.

i need interface usb joystick with my micro2440sdk
thank

To solve this you need to use a USB A-B cable, like those found in
printers. Mini2440 looks for connections at the USB B-type connector (the
same one found at printers)

Has ANYBODY been able to figure this out?  I'm also getting "USB host is
not connected yet."  I've tried 3 different mini's on 3 different PC's (Win
7 64 bit, Win 7 32 bit & Win XP).  Very frustrating.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

maybe, <lsusb> and <dmesg> before and after plugging in your USB device
might provide a clue.

In my experience it is a problem with the USB driver in Mini2440 BIOS. I
have two Mini2440, an old 64MB with the BIOS mentioned above and a newer
with FriendlyARM BIOS 2.0 for 2440. With the newer Mini2440 and BIOS 2.0 i
have no problems connecting to Ubuntu 10.4 or WinXP in VMware Fusion on my
MacBook Pro. Connecting the older Mini2440 leads to get frozen OSX, WinXP
and Ubuntu for about 3 seconds, after that trying to reconnect and get
frozen and so on. I am not able to get a stable connection and in the times
between the frozen cycles i get the same message from SuperVivi as you.

At my Acer Travelmate notebook i got an connection to the Mini2440 USB, but
the same message from SuperVivi.

With my Lenovo netbook it was no problem to connect USB and i was able to
flash U-Boot with DNW under WinXP.

When i finished my project i will try to JTag the newer BIOS to the old
Mini.

I am new to linux. I am using Micro2440 as development board. And facing
the same issue discussed above. My development board is not getting
detected.

You help is highly appreciated.




Thanks
