running into bootloader, problem

  • Hello fsnet


    I have the problem that my Picocom2 is switching into bootloader mode by himself, LCD stays dark and on COM interface I see the following:



    The chapter with starting "32 MB Ram" then always is shows up again every let´s say 10 seconds.


    Then I have to insert MAC adresse and need to download the kernel again, and then it works. Unfortunately this happens 3-4 times a day, after switch off and switch on.
    (No, I didin´t load kernel into RAM)


    could you support me please?


    bye
    Andraes

    This reset will be generated by the watchdog I suppose.

    Did I get this right, that this isn't a gernal problem? Is the PicoCOM able to load the kernel from flash?
    After setting the MAC address (prompt Enter WindowsCE MAC address (actual ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff): ) the bootloader command line should be entered automatically (:>). Is this the case? I don't see the corresponding ouput in your debug trace.
    Could you post your bootloader configuration (output from 'I'). Especially the partition settings will be interessting.

  • Is it even impossible to enter the NBoot bootloader isn't possible any more (small 's' during bootup)?
