12 years agoBooting Linux from SD card on SoCKit
Hi There,
I have just got a SoCKit - I am rather inexperienced with FPGAs, ARM processors and Linux, so please bare with me! I have been running through the getting started guides and come stuck with booting Linux from an SD card. I believe I have followed the instructions in SoCKit_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf and My_First_HPS.pdf correctly, but linux will not boot. The error I am getting on power up (or with the command bootd) is: --- Quote Start --- ** Unable to use mmc 0:1 for fatload ** Wrong Image Format for bootm command ERROR: can't get kernel image! --- Quote End --- This is when using the pre-built Linux image ("Tools/Factory_SD_image/SoCKit_SD.img" on the SoCKit CD), loaded onto the SD card using Win32DiskImager (also on the CD). I have tried:- Using the latest version of Win32DiskImager
- Using a different SD card
