"newly bought" or "bought a new mini2440"? I would expect a new unit to have a working image on it. Was this not the case for you? Any history on this device, ie is it used? Sounds like you have a working bootloader in NOR or maybe an almost working bootloader. His tutorials are well written and gets useful feedback, so I would not expect errors in them. Where did you buy the unit? India? Explain what you did since taking it out of the box. You might have to learn how to JTAG a new bootloader in NOR but answer these questions first.
Hi davef, I have purchased the unit in india only, i have tried step by step procedure as per the tutorials.It has a working bootloader when i got it, now i erased entire Nand Flash using 'x' and 'f' commands and trying to load the all the images, but the rootfs image is not loading, getting struck at some block number...what should i do. Should i change the OS to XP and try...And same with WinCE installation also....Kindly help
> getting struck at some block number...what should i do I'd try searching the forum, good chance someone has had this problem before. > Should i change the OS to XP and try...And same with WinCE installation > also.... I think you are mixing up a few terms here. By changing the OS I assume you mean on the host computer. You can run Linux, ie specific versions of Linux, with or without Qtopia and WinCE on this target. Ubuntu and XP you only run on the host. I would suggest that you get DWN to download the image files using a host computer running XP or Win7 first. There are some drivers you have to install first, but it looks like you got past that stage. I vaguely recall someone having the same problem with units sourced in India. Possibly the distributor did not sell the machine pre-loaded. Search the forum <india, mini2440> Also, I would be talking to the distributor about your problem. I am sure I suggested that to someone before.
Hi dave Thanks, i purchased from VEGAROBOKIT, which was mentioned has a official distributor in india. Yes i have using Windws 7 on host, and installed every step described in the tutorials provided online. But cantable to get through the rootfs into Mini2440.Looking for help..
