Standard TS-7260 boards use RedBoot AFAIK, but you are trying to boot from the SD. There are no kernel messages displayed, so it seems to be a problem even finding or reading the new kernel image. Did you first write the TS fastboot SD image to the card? ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/binaries/ts-images/sdimage.dd.bz2 Yes. Also, is this a standard SD card (less than 2G) or a SDHC card? I don't believe the TS-SDBOOT ROM code can read SDHC cards. It's a standard 1GB SD card. > . > . > > > > > Following section 6.1 in Technologic's Linux for ARM user's guide, > > these > > > are the steps I used: Look over the fastboot page linked to above. There seems to be lots of 7260 info that would apply to your case. For example, looks like you have to have different kernel versions depending on flash size of your 7260 (ie, nand-2k or not). My board has 32MB of Flash. Looking at the config files in arch/arm/def-configs/, there's only one file for the TS7260. The only relevant settings I could find in that file was these lines: # Memory Technology Devices (MTD) for 2k NAND flash # # CONFIG_MTD2K is not set So that seems to imply that the 2K Flash setting is not enabled, which is what I want in my 32MB case? I actually got a different result when booting this time, instead of pure garbage characters I get this kernel output, then the system stops when trying to run init: >> TS-SDBOOT - built Jan 26 2007 >> Copyright (c) 2007, Technologic Systems . . .
