Hi,
After working fine for a while, the board crashed during the weekend, and I am getting the following error:
Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.4ss (Sep 30 2010 - 14:44:32) Beagle xM Rev A Reading boot sector
not there u-boot.bin not found or blank nand contents - attempting serial boot . . . ## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x80008000 at 115200 bps..
The SD card was formatted and reinstalled: ./linaro-media-create --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --dev beagle --binary image/linaro-m-headless-tar-*.tar.gz --hwpack ../hwpack_linaro-omap3_20101105-75_armel_supported.tar.gz but it didn't help.
The card seems to be OK:

Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.4ss (Sep 30 2010 - 14:44:32) Beagle xM Rev A Reading boot sector not there u-boot.bin not found or blank nand contents - attempting serial boot . . . Any clue?
Just a thought - looks like your NAND got corrupted... Can you try to boot your board holding the "USER" button? This may convince the Boot ROM to use loaders on MMC.
Worth trying, no guarantees ;-)

Do you have a Beagleboard or a BeagleboardXM?
If it's the XM (as your bootloader claims), then there is no on-board NAND. Your SD card is the only storage, and you should be able to recover by reformatting and updating the images on the SD card.

Quick sanity check -- what system are you running linaro-media-create on? (If you try it on karmic it silently produces images that don't boot.)

Do you have another SD card you can try? They rot and die, unfortunately :/

After redoing everything once again with the newer packages, I tend to think that the problem is indeed in the card. I don't get "Reading from mmc" message, and if I press the "user" button, it doesn't respond at all. I'll try to get another SD card.

Hi,
I am still not able to make the board work. With a new SD card, we are getting the same problem.
We do:
./linaro-media-create --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 rootfs ext3 --dev beagle --binary image/linaro-m-headless-tar-*.tar.gz --hwpack /root/hwpack_linaro-omap3_20110106-0_armel_supported.tar.gz
The image that we are using is linaro-m-headless-tar-20101123-0.tar.gz. We tried to install linaro-natty-headless-tar-20110106-0.tar.gz, but the installation process was stuck, probably because the host Ubuntu is Lucid: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS"
Trying to start the board from SD card we are getting the error below on the console:
Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.4ss (Dec 5 2010 - 02:35:14) Beagle xM Rev A Reading boot sector
not there u-boot.bin not found or blank nand contents - attempting serial boot . . . ## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x80008000 at 115200 bps...

Is this the correct target device name? SD card readers on laptops and desktops normally show up as SCSI disks; e.g., /dev/sdb
What is the output of this linaro-media-create command?

Yes, I think so. This is what we see:

I thought this old hwpack could be to blame, but I can't reproduce the error you saw with an image created using that hwpack. Anyway, there are newer hwpacks in http://snapshots.linaro.org/10.11-daily/linaro-hwpacks/ which you might want to use in the future.

I checked the x-loader source package, and x-load doesn't seem to care about the filename

It would be u-boot. x-loader is up and configured, and looking for u-boot. x-load doesn't care which image it is though - you could load any other image and x-load will just jump to it and start executing.

oh right, sorry I thought Dave was asking whether a filename was checked over the wire
Hi Ira, just out of curiosity, have you tried this with the 10.11 release images? I know some people tested that with Beagle XM and it was reported to work, so it may be worth seeing if it's something with your board, or something in u-boot that has broken since then.
Thanks, Paul Larson
