problem with OS loading image onto a board

invoker · August 11, 2008, 11:10am

Hi

I have a ‘little’ problem with my OS image - I have build a image.srec file in QNX Momentics and I tried to put it into the board to RAM to check it.

I downloaded image over the Ethernet but as soon as it started to execute there was an error ( it was logged to a file but I dont know where to find it )
I tried also commenting some lines but with no success usually I got the welcome… sign and the board hanged

help

Hyper Terminal

Boot up script:

Here you can set some system wide environment variables

SYSNAME=nto
TERM=ansi
HOME=/root

A safe bet is to set these exactly as above on the

procnto start line.

PATH=/proc/boot:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/photon/bin:/tmp
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/proc/boot:/lib:/lib/dll:/usr/lib:/usr/photon/dll:/tmp

Start serial scif[0:2] ports. These will be /dev/ser0, /dev/ser1

and /dev/ser2 respectively. /dev/ser2 is the rs232 serial

communiactions port. /dev/ser0 and dev/ser1 are set to 9600

baud, no SW/HW flow control. These are typical settings for a

serial TouchScreen controller.

If you use serial port for debugging you have to disable the shell which is

using the same device. For debugging uncomment one of the following options:

pdebug /dev/ser2,115200 & # debug via Serial port

pdebug 8000 & # Debug via Ethernet with plain gdb

qconn port=8000 & # Debug via ethernet using Momentics IDE

the error is on the io-graphics -g320x240x8 -dldevg-sh7760lcdc.so line
but I dont know why

I found finally the log file beside messages like files missing (font files which I deleted to cut down the image size) there are 2 major errors:
1.
"Unable to open “etc/system/config/crtc-settings”
2.
Attached /dev/io-graphics/crt00 Cm8Error: found graphics region with no capabilities data

I tried to copy the missing file but still the error occure.
help

I tried changing the line to io-graphics -g320x240x8 -devg-sh7760lcdc.so
still the same

Invoker,

Where did you copy the missing file of “etc/system/config/crtc-settings” to?

Looking at your build script it appears you have no hard drive or CF card (are all your files embedded in your image file?). If you do, then you’ll need to start a driver like devb-eide. Otherwise there isn’t any way to access the file system.

It’s possible to “map” a file in the image to a specific location. Maybe that is what the OP did because we are missing some section of the the build file:

/etc/system/config/crt-settings=crt-settings

But indeed things like fonts look like they are missing.

invoker · August 12, 2008, 7:38am

I did put the crt-settings
in
/etc/system/config
and also by default its in:
/usr/photon/config

but In the file I can see different resolution modes but none of them is 320x240.
With a starter kit that I’ve got the file is only in the second location and also don’t contain
any info on the 320 mode. So I was gessing its not important (?)

The fonts are missing but when I included almost all possible still the same errors occurred.

I don’t have a hard drive or CF card - the image is stored in the flash memory on the board … I guess.

the best would be to get a startup file used in the starter kit but it was not provided

Do you have any ideas that I could try out?

albrecht · August 12, 2008, 7:42am

Missing fonts are sometimes the result of a wrongly set _CS_LIBPATH. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not sufficient, at some point after setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH you must do getconf -s _CS_LIBPATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Albrecht

invoker · August 12, 2008, 8:13am

just put this line in the start-up script?

getconf -s _CS_LIBPATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

if yes it didn’t seem to work very well

Eh I still didn’t fount any solution

Ok after a while I manage to get my answers and I’m using the following script:

But I got a diffrent problem

I tested my image in RAM ( using a bootloader option)

and it worked fine but when I tried to store it in flash … It didn’t

I’m using emitrons BSP and
kerneldnld.exe
to send the image.

The error:

I the IDE project I have Image Address set to 0x8c022000
in the Board Manual I got

0004 0010h - 007F FFFFh or 00FF FFFFh or 01FF FFFFh or 03FF FFFFh
(OS) software
The end address varies,
depending on the size of the
flash mounted on the board.

I tried reducing the image size, Changing the address to 0x8c020000 which was used by the board supplier.

I don’t know what to do.
