Linux on M9328MX1ADS

Hi, We have been trying to get linux running on the above ads board. We can flash the bootloader, which works fine. We can also flash the kernal & root file system images using the bootloader. When we try and boot the kernel however the bootloader sits in a loop, trying to boot the kernel.

We have tried both the 0.3.2 & 0.3.4 BSP's advailable on Motorolas website, but they all seem to do the same thing. Has anyone got any advice?

It is a Rev F board if it makes any difference.

Cheers

Jonathan Roberts

Hi Jonathan,

Which Linux are you using ? Which BSP ? are you using Embedix ? or a CodeWarrior Creation Suite ?

Hi Jonathan,

You know this board is fairly new. I don't know if eLinux is working properly on this board...

What you can do is to have a look on another Booloader Have a look on

Code Warrior creation Suite, needs to use a Bootloader. As they mention on the link they recommend to use BLOB That you can find on

That Metrowerks use in order to use Embedix (which belongs to Motorola !!)

When you purchased the board, did you get some technical support ?

Regards,

Ok, The problem is now solved.It was the supplied power supply. It was putting out ~1.8v rather than 3v, which seems to have been not quite enough to run the board properly!
