Connect to the serial console then you can see what's wrong. 1. Search this forum for ubuntu, I posted a method on how to make an ubuntu image 2. That tutorial is for running from SD, white screen and repeatedly beep isn't enough information 3. Yes, you can on the SD card but you'll need to edit the commandline in friendlyarm.ini (rootfstype) you can make an ubuntu image fairly easily but if you're burning to nand it won't help, the resulting image file is too big, its 2.1GB and even if you do have a mini210S with 4GB of nand, it still won't work because superboot is not capable of burning files bigger than 2GB
Tnx for reply. i have fundamental question Can i install ubuntu on Tiny210??? i solve my problem with SD and my Tiny210 boot successfully, my ext4 partition get address /dev/mmcblk0p5 in my PC instead of /dev/mmcblk0p2 i change /dev/mmcblk0p2 in FriendlyARM.ini to /dev/mmcblk0p5. when i select Linux from boot list all process done so fast and when i switch S2 to NAND and turn on again :( ... NOTHING --------------------------This is my FriendlyARM.ini------------------------ #This line cannot be removed. by FriendlyARM(www.arm9.net) CheckOneButton=No Action = Run OS = Linux LCD-Mode = Yes LCD-Type = H43 LowFormat = No VerifyNandWrite = No CheckCRC32=No StatusType = LED ################### Linux #################### Linux-BootLoader = Superboot210.bin Linux-Kernel = Linux/zImage Linux-CommandLine = root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 rootfstype=ext4 console=ttySAC0,115200 init=/sbin/init
i try both "Action = Run" and "Action = Install"
All you should need to do is use the 'install' option, the kernel runs from nand, so you can try any superboot.bin that you know works on nand, once it's burnt, turn the switch to nand and power cycle the board. If there is anything else wrong, I can't tell you what it is. I don't have a tiny210, I only tested the ubuntu SD on a mini210S.
