Starting to boot the kernel will result in displaying of the linux penguin on the LCD, like it did with us:


But how to actually start the linux kernel on the OmapZoom MDK

Power on the Zoom, connect it to your host via serial (you find information on the serial-configuration on previous parts)
What you will need to type for "[font=Courier New]kernel-x.x.uImg[/font]" depends on what you called the kernel-image-file in Part 5:

Code: Select all

mmcinit
fatload mmc 0 80c00000 kernel-x.x.uImg
bootm 80c00000

These codes load the Kernel-Image to a very specific location in the RAM and execute it.

This is what your terminal-app will show (we are currently receiving a kernelpanic )

Code: Select all

TODO successful kernel-start output /TODO

Q:My kernel-startup ends with sth like: "[font=Courier New]unable to open an initial console[/font]" and "[font=Courier New]Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.[/font]"
Example:

Code: Select all

....
<6>Freeing init memory: 140K
Freeing init memory: 140K
<4>Warning: unable to open an initial console.

<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

A: You missed to copy the "minifs" to the 2nd partition of your mircoSD-Card: :src: Download the one we used. (maybe a newer one can be found here: http://www.omapzoom.org/pub/images)

So, what is after part 6? Plusminus, do you have Android running on Zoom yet?

Hi Casten,

No, unfortunately not yet.

(Basically we are currently following these instructions: http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP )
The current situation is, that the Linux is fully up and we copied the /system and /data from the emulator and some others (minifs from: http://www.omapzoom.org/pub/images )to /android on the SD-Card.
But when running the scripts from elinux.org, which in the end does a "[font=Courier New]chroot[/font]" (changeroot) to the "android-file-system" we get a [font=Courier New]segmentation fault[/font] as the [font=Courier New]sh[/font] from the android emulator somehow doesn't want to run on the ZoomMDK.

If finally get it to work somehow, be sure of seeing a detailed explanation and a DD-Image of the MircoSD-Card right here!

So what is the current situation?

Is it working?

If so what to you want in return for showing my games running on it?

Sincerely,

Travis

I moved to the U.S. for my internship and left the device behind with a fellow student. I'll notify him of this post.

Ollo (21:33:22 2/09/2008)
on the coming weekend, I'll probably work on the Zoom

So maybe we'll see some news soon

The link for the image is broken and cant find a ui-image to load for my omapzoom mdk and cant seem to reach a respons from any developer from omapzoom.org group list..

this is what the output is

Also what more have you done with your omapzoom mdk?
