Hi all Yesterday I got a tiny6410 (board rev.1111) a 7" display with linux/Qt4 installed. Everything worked fine. Then I started to do the 'getting started' tutorial and tried out android installation from SD-card to flash, which was not successful. The installation works correct but sometimes later on there is always some bug where the system retries endless ore halts. Now I have no working system anymore. I tried all OS images on the provided DVD Mini6410 Aug2011 B (which are in chinese). I downloaded and installed the latest DVD Tiny6410B-201110 but no success. Now my questions: 1) Does the revision 1111 of the board has an impact? 2) Can I use a Mini6410 image instead of a Tiny6410 image? 3) I only exchange the LCD file form xxx_n43 to xxx_a70 as explained, right? I hope someone can help me to get a version which fits to the board. Thanks a lot.
images not usable on provided dvd
The newest Tiny6410 with 2G NAND use a different kind of NAND. There is a sub-directory in the images with binaries for the newer NAND. I can't recall, but there is a suffix like -c or-c2 or ? I can give a better answer Monday when I have the DVDs in front of me.
You need to use this file system. rootfs_qtopia_qt4-mlc2.ubi For 2G MLC NAND. It should be in the images for Linux.
Hi Thanks for your response. I read about this that I have to use only the ubi file system format and because of the MLC Nand flash on the board the one with the mlc2 prefix. However this didn't help, only the ext3 format on the plugged-in SD card works. I now have setup a linux system (fedora 9 as proposed by FriendlyARM) and created all the files myself: bootloader u-boot_nand-ram256.bin, kernel zImage and the ubi filesystem for Nand MLC rootfs_qtopia_qt4-mlc2.ubi. But also with this no success! I'm really struggling with this MLC Nand flash on the board. Perhaps you can help me to get some strategy to solve this issue. Thanks.
Make sure the bootloader version on the SD card (in the images directory) is the same as the version called for in the .ini file.
Hi The bootloader versions always are the same in SD card and .ini file otherwise it would not find the file... But I succeed now! I put the superboot 20110722 on the SD card to start the download menu (option CheckOneButton=yes) and than I manually download the files via USB on a Windows XP and DNW tool. The file which worked was the u-boot_nand-ram256.bin which I created myself, superboot-xy.bin didn't work (versions tested 20110722, 20110826, 20111102). Now I can run linux from the 2GB Nand MLC2 and can go on further...
There is also a directory with friendlyarm.ini files for each RAM/NAND combination and OS. Try one of those that matches your hardware.
