Aug 27 14:35:29 <nexgen2> hello, I still cannot boot a custom SD card on BBB
Aug 27 14:36:01 <nexgen2> I used prebuilt kernel and uboot from:
Aug 27 14:37:50 <nexgen2> http://www.nathael.org/Data/Devel/BBB/results_4.4.1.tar.xz
Aug 27 14:38:17 <nexgen2> both MLO and uboot located on the SD card
Aug 27 14:38:29 <nexgen2> it is FAT16 marked as bootable
Aug 27 14:38:40 <nexgen2>  /dev/sdf1  *        2048   264191   262144  128M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Aug 27 14:38:56 <nexgen2> the board boot fine from another Debian SD
Aug 27 14:39:25 <nexgen2> I did not injected  (dd) anything before boot part
Aug 27 14:39:45 <nexgen2> though not sure about the image itself from which SD was originally restored
Aug 27 14:40:01 <nexgen2> before copying nathael files there
Aug 27 14:40:21 <nexgen2> just have not any idea how to fix this
Aug 27 14:40:37 <nexgen2> only to wait serial cable to see error message?
Aug 27 14:42:30 <nexgen2> partition type changed to FAT16 in fdisk too (together with reformatting it by mkfs.vfat -F 16)
Aug 27 14:42:37 <nexgen2>  /dev/sdf1  *        2048   264191   262144  128M  6 FAT16
Aug 27 14:44:44 <vagrantc> /15/15
Aug 27 14:45:12 <rcn-ee[m]> nexgen2: pastebin your boot log
Aug 27 14:45:32 <nexgen2> if you refer to the display outboot
Aug 27 14:45:43 <nexgen2> it is blank blank screen, no signs of life
Aug 27 14:45:53 <nexgen2> *output
Aug 27 14:46:01 <rcn-ee[m]> nexgen2: "serial" output is all i care about..
Aug 27 14:46:09 <nexgen2> and I still have not cable unfortunately
Aug 27 14:46:32 <rcn-ee[m]> okay, get a cable... until then there's nothing to debug..
Aug 27 14:46:41 <nexgen2> another official Debian image boots fine though
Aug 27 14:46:55 <rcn-ee[m]> well yeah. ;) i make sure it does..
Aug 27 14:47:04 <rcn-ee[m]> contact the author of that image..
Aug 27 14:47:05 <nexgen2> :) thanks
Aug 27 14:47:14 <rcn-ee[m]> it's his problem it doesn't work..
Aug 27 14:47:31 <nexgen2> but when I removed all files from official Debian image
Aug 27 14:47:36 <nexgen2> except /boot
Aug 27 14:47:55 <nexgen2> and resized the partition (made it smaller), it did not boot either too
Aug 27 14:48:05 <rcn-ee[m]> "all files"..  so you broke it...
Aug 27 14:48:27 <nexgen2> I wanted to make a dedicated boot partition
Aug 27 14:48:50 <nexgen2> did not boot I meant even kernel penguin icon did not appear at the very start
Aug 27 14:48:55 <nexgen2> only blank screen too
Aug 27 14:49:12 <nexgen2> I have another system partition which I was going to use for root fs
Aug 27 14:49:35 <rcn-ee[m]> nexgen2: plug in a serial, it'll show what's wrong.. video is pretty usless for debugging
Aug 27 14:50:09 <nexgen2> good point, hope to get a cable in a couple of weeks from AliExpress
Aug 27 14:51:10 <rcn-ee[m]> nexgen2: if you want a "boot" partition, look at this wiki section on the BeagleBoard, the "BeagleBone" has a very similar bootrom except it can do "more".. https://www.digikey.com/eewiki/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBoard
Aug 27 14:51:40 <nexgen2> btw, may be you know
Aug 27 14:51:44 <rcn-ee[m]> nexgen2: couple of weeks? ouch... amazon?
Aug 27 14:51:54 <nexgen2> is there a board which is even more open than BBB?
Aug 27 14:52:16 <nexgen2> we have a slow delivery channel unfortunately
Aug 27 14:53:09 <rcn-ee[m]> So your going to waste a few weeks on something that costs $10?  i'd quit and find a new job, your losing money on this build..
Aug 27 14:53:46 <nexgen2> we have no jobs here for my speciality
Aug 27 14:53:58 <nexgen2> and I do not want to have a debt if relocating
Aug 27 14:54:25 <rcn-ee[m]> i'd move
Aug 27 14:54:26 <nexgen2> may be I will look for a remote job later
Aug 27 14:54:34 <nexgen2> I am in Russia
Aug 27 14:54:43 <nexgen2> here is no sense to move anywhere
Aug 27 14:55:00 <nexgen2> too high mortgage percent
Aug 27 14:55:04 <rcn-ee[m]> there's tons of software/electronics jobs their..
Aug 27 14:55:13 <nexgen2> the only place I would move is USA, California
Aug 27 14:55:21 <nexgen2> but I have no offers to do it
Aug 27 14:55:38 <nexgen2> no in our region
Aug 27 14:55:43 <nexgen2> it is Sibiria
Aug 27 14:55:52 <nexgen2> I am DB2 DBA
Aug 27 14:55:55 <nexgen2> Linux admin
Aug 27 14:55:59 <nexgen2> and DotNet coder
Aug 27 14:56:03 <rcn-ee[m]> lol, if you think Cal is the only place...  Dude the housing their is expensive.. you can do it anywhere..
Aug 27 14:56:07 <nexgen2> also I am already 41
Aug 27 14:56:17 <nexgen2> Russia is not tolerate to age
Aug 27 14:56:32 <nexgen2> and even if it would I do not tolerate its pay rate
Aug 27 14:57:07 <nexgen2> I used to work remotely with California from Russia
Aug 27 14:57:19 <nexgen2> most likely it will be what I will be doing soon
Aug 27 14:58:28 <nexgen2> *again
Aug 27 15:37:57 <nexgen2> booted finally
Aug 27 15:38:33 <nexgen2> by mixing Nathael binaries with BBB oroginal angstrem's uEnv 2013
Aug 27 15:38:49 <nexgen2> going to try kernel v5.x
Aug 27 15:39:45 <nexgen2> does it matter how kernel is named if uEnv.txt updated accordingly?
Aug 27 15:45:51 <nexgen2> can I specify
Aug 27 15:45:52 <nexgen2> kernel_file=vmlinuz-5.2.9-gnu
Aug 27 15:45:52 <nexgen2> initrd_file=initrd.img-5.2.9-gnu
Aug 27 15:46:45 <nexgen2> there are more commands like loadzimage=load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} ${loadaddr} ${kernel_file}
Aug 27 15:47:08 <nexgen2> may be they require zImage exactly
