Re: port-arm32/50288: NetBSD-7.0_RC3/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/armv7.img doesn't boot on BBB

Hi Soren,

Thanks for the quick response, but I still see the same problem.

I checked:

NetBSD/NetBSD-7.0/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/armv7.img.gz

and

NetBSD-daily/netbsd-7/201510120510Z/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/armv7.img.gz

Both seem to have the same issues as I first reported.  That is:

1. u-boot doesn’t search for and load the correct image.  A quick workaround is to manually enter:

fatload mmc 0 82000000 netbsd-BEAGLEBONE.ub; bootm 82000000 root=ld0a

That loads and boot the netbsd-beaglebone kernel, but then:

2. netbsd enters an infinite ISR loop with

 ===== edma errint!

Am I missing something?  I’m writing armv7.img.gz to the uSD card (on a Mac) with:

gzcat armv7.img.gz | dd of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m

I checked the resultant SD card on NetBSD (in VirtualBox on Mac) and ‘disklabel /dev/sd0’ is:

[/root]# disklabel /dev/sd0 
# /dev/sd0d:
type: SCSI
disk: STORAGE DEVICE
label: fictitious
flags: removable
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 32
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 2048

total sectors: 2275840
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # microseconds
drivedata: 0 

8 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a:   1890816    385024     4.2BSD      0     0     0  # (Cyl.    188 -   1111*)
 b:    262144    122880       swap                     # (Cyl.     60 -    187)
 c:   2275840         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -   1111*)
 d:   2275840         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -   1111*)
 e:    114688      8192      MSDOS                     # (Cyl.      4 -     59)

I can mount /dev/sd0a and it seems (to me) all good.

Log files attached are from uninterrupted boot (1.log) and breaking u-boot to manually load netbsd (2.log).

Please advise.

Best regards,
