06:18 sanjeevs Hello All.
06:18 sanjeevs Do we have any doc to prepare SD card for hummming Board
06:51 Artox sanjeevs: sort of
06:51 Artox the wiki has information on where to install u-boot
06:54 sanjeevs yes it is there but no information if I need to install SPL,uboot ,uImage,dtb and filesystem
06:56 sanjeevs Now I am writing SPL "sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1" and uboot image "sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=42" in raw partition and then creating 2 partition 1 is FAT for storing kernel image(uImage) and dtb and 2nd partition to store Filesystem i.e ext3
06:56 Artox well
06:56 Artox u-boot and spl is all you need
06:57 Artox it gives you a prompt on serial console
06:57 Artox I can however tell you:
06:57 Artox u-boot will look for a file called uEnv.txt
06:57 Artox on partition 1
06:57 Artox read those variables in there, and then try to boot
06:57 Artox OR
06:57 Artox it will look for a file called boot.scr on partition 1
06:57 Artox and execute that
06:58 Artox (boot.scr being an u-boot script created using mkimage)
06:59 sanjeevs you mean to say,I should have uEnv.txt in my 1 boot partition
06:59 Artox sanjeevs: you cna try to read this: https://github.com/SolidRun/u-boot-imx6/blob/cbaf181993803604ec66e016ba0323ba420f06e6/include/configs/mx6_cubox-i.h#L174
06:59 Artox sanjeevs: nope
07:00 Artox I say you can have uEnv.txt
07:01 sanjeevs yes but I can modify or pass option once I have console
07:06 sanjeevs If I will specify LOADADDR=10008000 while building uImage I don't need boot .scr file
07:18 Artox sanjeevs: I dont know
07:18 Artox I never use uImage
07:18 sanjeevs ok
07:18 sanjeevs Thanks
11:46 sanjeevs Hi
11:46 sanjeevs what is the differnce between hummingBoard v1 and v2
11:47 sanjeevs from this list http://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=products:imx6:hummingboard what version is v1 and v2
11:52 mk01 sanjeevs: carrierboard is v1, edge v2
11:54 sanjeevs and pro
11:55 sanjeevs in Uboot there is an #define where 0 is CuBox-I, 1 is HummingBoard and 2 is HummingBoard 2
11:56 sanjeevs what doea it mean
11:56 mk01 11:54 sanjeevs: and pro
11:56 mk01 and pro what ?
11:56 sanjeevs AFAIK,HummingBoard comes in various flavour Edge,Gate,Pro and base
11:56 mk01 so ... ?
11:57 sanjeevs I mean to say HummingBoard Pro is HummingBoard 1 or HummingBoard2
11:57 mk01 11:52 mk01: sanjeevs: carrierboard is v1, edge v2
11:57 mk01 you was sending link
11:58 mk01 on that link
11:58 mk01 you have
11:58 mk01 BASE
11:58 mk01 PRO
11:58 mk01 GATE
11:58 mk01 EGDE
11:58 mk01 those having "carrierboard" are v1
11:58 mk01 thr others v2
11:59 sanjeevs Ok so these 4 carrier Board are v1
11:59 mk01 where do you see 4 carrier boards ?
12:00 sanjeevs http://wiki.solid-run.com/doku.php?id=products:imx6:hummingboard
12:00 mk01 yes you sent that already
12:00 mk01 but where you see four carrierboards
12:01 sanjeevs Got it, There are only 2 carrierBoards Base and Pro
12:01 mk01 yes
12:01 mk01 to the left are "carrierboards" aka v1
12:02 mk01 ]to the right two models are the new boards "v2", one called EDGE, second GATE
12:02 sanjeevs Gate and Edge are not hence v2
12:02 sanjeevs Thanks for this clarfication
12:02 sanjeevs I think it should be written somewhere
12:02 sanjeevs Again Thanks
12:03 mk01 sanjeevs: the v1/v2 are not bussiness names , nor commonly used. you just found that commit in UBOOT :)
12:04 mk01 sanjeevs: if you mix them up again .... just check the board dimensions and voltage in
12:04 mk01 you will see what is the "same generation" with what.
12:05 mk01 then the split is much easier, ... v1 5V 85mmx56mm
12:05 mk01 v2 7V-36V and board dims 102mmx69mm
12:37 sanjeevs will check
