There are still a couple of errors which stop correct installation of u-boot when using linaro-media-create --image_file.
I always use l-m-c with --mmc, never --image_file. Will have a try later.
I still couldn't get a bootable system though. The U-Boot environment didn't get set up correctly.
Honestly, we are still far away from a bootable system. Besides above two bug fixes, we have tot address the following things to get a bootable mx51evk headless.
- Correct the default mx51evk u-boot env to mmc boot I posted the patch on https://bugs.launchpad.net/u-boot-linaro/+bug/655461/comments/10
- Linaro mx51evk kernel has no mmc driver available yet. I applied patches sent out by Zhu Richard on linux-arm (still under review)
- mii_bus fails to register on imx51 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+bug/655641) Remove CONFIG_FIXED_PHY can work around the issue
- mx51evk booting stops at mountall (https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+bug/659799) The following supports need to be added to fix the problem.
CONFIG_TMPFS CONFIG_DEVTMPFS CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT
- No serial console login is available. I was told to fix the problem by change line #15 in /bin/auto-serial-console as below. tty[A-Z]* ) --> tty[a-zA-Z]* )
And there are some issues I'm still trying to confirm:
- The root UUID seems not working for me, and I have to use root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 in kernel cmdline. - System gets reboot after running (idle) for ~40 minutes.
