Re: [ts-7000] Boot debian on sd card

[Ricardo Gabriel <>]

Don and Mark, thanks for your support.

I downloaded the sd card image for the ts7260 board from ftp.embeddedarm.com.
This image works very well

Apparently, the previous image that came with the card with the ts7260 board I bought, had a problem.

I do not know why.

One more question,
How do I get my debian system boot directly? without having to type exit after startup.

Regards,


Ricardo

Thanks Mark!

I will download that image.

Then, I will write comment if it works.

I hope to get lucky!

Ricardo,

The first two lines are printed from the bootrom, but normally it will print three dots after.  The first dot says that it loaded and executed the MBR from the SD card followed by a dot for loading the kernel and one for the initrd.  This is normally not needed if you're first booting to the onboard flash and then to SD.  However with the bootrom change you will need this new MBR in place which will not be there with the stock SD image.

Try booting this image:
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/binaries/ts-images/sdimage-new.dd.bz2

Best Regards,

Uh oh.  That's not a good sign.  Where did you get your SD card image?
