interestingly enough… I started going through each bl2 file I had and for the first time I received a response basically loading the terminal really fast after but… system halt. ill wait for your file, I feel whatever is on the files you have in that downloads folder are the key! I am using the bpi-r3_emmc_fip.bin file i pulled just this morning and the r3-mini file I pulled I pulled back on the 17th
You have to use the ram files…not emmc and of course r3 not r3mini,not powerdown/reboot. You get a console in uboot console instantly in RAM and then you need to flash your system…else you are on same state after reboot
ahhh… first attempt no prompt, gonna try again and hope its a timing issue on connecting at the right time that’s preventing this from working. also… no reboot/poweroff either, literally making connect right after program ends.
Why reconnecting? Just start putty on same com-port adter mtkuart ends
what do you mean reconnecting? soon as i see received FIP i load the terminal. nothing is reconnected or disconnected.
Ok,i interpreted your previous post like you have reconnected and not just moved to terminal application.
any other tips to get this working? to this day my board still isnt functional .
i was able to now see system halt in putty right after the below. " does it matter what the switches are set to? for instance, I have it set to NAND and wondering do I need the NAND files? what setting do you have the switches set for when this works for you?
the below is with switches set to NAND
the below is with the switches set to SD card
the below is with switches set to NOR
Thats strange…this bootrom log should not appear directly when booting ram bl2…this looks like a reset is done after it.
i assure you, no reset was done. opened the com port device with putty soon after the command prompt show it was finished.
did you see my question about the switch settings you used and does it matter the switch settings when talking about the files to use?
I only tested with switches in sd-position (not sure on r3mini). But i guess it does not matter. But you have to make sure powering on the board when mtk_uartboot is waiting for sending the files,not before.
