Hi I have problem in booting the zoom2(OMAP3430) board with froyo's 2.6.32 kernel, The board booted successfully for eclair's 2.6.29 kernel(prebuilt) which I downloaded from Omappedia. But I am banging my head to get Froyo's 2.6.32 kernel runnin on my board. I tried all configurations of boot args available on forums but were of no use, I am just getting "starting kernel.." message which wont proceeds further. I know "starting kernel.." is the last message of the u-boot before it hands over the control to external RAM's kernel code.
Now I decided to peep into u-boot and kernel code using TRACE32 to know where actually the problem is happening(I am doubting whether the kernel start address is fed properly because of which the code jump is not happening). I connected the zoom2 board-JTAG setup to PC I executed "zoom2_startup.cmm" and I am getting "bus error generated by CPU" for "sys.u" command which is internally called by "zoom2_startup.cmm".I selected omap3430 for CPU option in system settings of TRACE 32(this is the only setting changes I did). I want to know how I can make my zoom2 to startup on giving sys.u command in TRACE32. I most appreciate any type of help related to this.
If this section is not for kernel related issues, please let me know where else in android community can I post this in.
