Re: [U-Boot] Non-experimental U-Boot compilation
Hi,
Dear all, I am using the AT91SAM9G20EK kit and want to port Linux on this.
Actually Atmel has already done this, see http://www.linux4sam.org
the AT91SAM9260ek configuration as it seems the closest. The problem is after building the U-boot with the sources for this board, generating the .bin, loading and a power on reset (POR), there isn't a command prompt exposed (u-boot>). After POR, 1 1 2 1 1 2 continuosly prints on the hyperterminal. I read from AT91.com that this is the expected behavior for the demo version.
Yes, this is the expected behaviour for the demo package. When you see this, it means you do not boot from the media where you burn your U-Boot into.
What is rge procedure to get the prompt ? Are there any separate configuration settings?
AT91SAM9G20EK are well supported by both mainline code and Atmel's current binary. ( u-boot 1.3.4, a little bit old) For detailed steps to run U-Boot/Linux on your board, still, goto http://www.linux4sam.org

Dear All, After erasing the data flash, NAnd flash and installing the Bootstrap loader and U-Boot, the problem is solved. I have a U-Boot prompt using which I should be able to proceed further.
Before building the Linux kernel and file system, I want to experiment with prebuilt images of kernel & FS. I have got
a) Linux image --> Linux-2.6.27-at91-exp.3-at91sam9g20ek.bin b) File system image --> genericfs.arm.nofpu.jffs2.
How do I install these image into the evaluation kit? The website www.linux4sam.org gives instructions to load the linux-2.6.27.img and samp-ramdisk.gz images. Is it necessary for any conversion? Thanks & regards Sandeep Suresh

Hello All, Even though there are several posts on the net on the same, I could not find a concrete solution for the same. I am using the prebuilt binaries from the www.AT91.com for AT91SAM9G20 linux kernel and jffs2 file system. I strongly feel if there is an issue with the bootargs and hence the U-boot environment is also available below. Please help me to solve this problem.
