just checked out and built u-boot for beaglebone black:

$ make am335x_boneblack_config

built, copied only MLO and u-boot.img to SD card so i could run u-boot off of SD card but boot the rest out of the eMMC, and got:

which seems to be because the uImage file isn't being loaded into memory at ${loadaddr}, so that the subsequent command:

bootm ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr}

will naturally fail as there's no valid kernel image at that address. i'm looking at the new environment, and i don't see where the kernel image is loaded into memory. thoughts?

following up on my own post, it would *seem* that what one needs is the following patch:

diff --git a/include/configs/am335x_evm.h b/include/configs/am335x_evm.h index e0a87f8..7969e07 100644 --- a/include/configs/am335x_evm.h +++ b/include/configs/am335x_evm.h @@ -132,7 +132,9 @@ "echo Running uenvcmd ...;" \ "run uenvcmd;" \ "fi;" \ - "run mmcloados;" \ + "if run loaduimage; then " \ + "run mmcloados;" \ + "fi;" \ "fi;\0" \ "spiboot=echo Booting from spi ...; " \ "run spiargs; " \

otherwise, i just don't see where the kernel image is going to be loaded for a BBB config and build, and it's *always* going to fail getting a proper kernel image. thoughts?
