    Hi,

    I'm using a imx31 SOM module ( P/N 1006581, silicon rev 1.2 ) with Lolo 2.3.5p

    I have not visible issue with it.

    I tried to use the new version 2.4 ( only to have sd/mmc fatfs access at boot-up ) and now I've got a lot of weird behavours at linux boot :

    - ethernet PMIC and sd/mmc do not initialized well ( randomly )
    - boot sequence lockup

    To summarize :
    - is the new lolo 2.4 compatible with my module ?
    - I buy it in feb 2008, is it normal that I received a pilot version ?
    - I downgrade to 2.3.5 to have a stable working module.


    What can I do to have this module working with the new Lolo 2.4

    Regards
    Olivier

    LogicLoader 2.4.0 is very stable and works well on our kits, we have done thorough testing and use it with Windows CE. I assume that you are using a patched Linux distribution that may not have been updated based on changes to LogicLoader. It could be that since LogicLoader now uses SD, something your code base is doing is not agreeing with what has been initialized. (SD works fine with WIndows CE, you can test the sample image if you are curious)

    I know of others who are using Linux with LoLo 2.4.0.

    Yes, I'm using a 2.6.19.2 patched linux.

    I'm pretty sure, I'm still facing issues without the SD inserted --> I will recheck

    About Linux, What shall I modify in it in order to be compatible with the new Lolo ?

    What's the part number of the SOM and baseboard?

    I've suscessfully used LoLO 2.4.0 with linux-2.6.19.2 including SD/MMC and PMIC support quite successfully on a 1006581 Rev 1 module on a 1008549 Rev A baseboard.

    I too ran into a little SD card weirdness and gave up about 5 weeks ago. I was trying to mount a SD card from LOLO to try to boot WinCe.

    I am still having issues with Linux booting with USB support. How can i verify that the "overdrive" function of the Lolo 2.4 works.

    I have a 2.0 SOM (model number MIMX31CSOMCR-A)
    Module: 1008130 Rev D
    Baseboard: 1008549 Rev B

    If i boot linux without USB support and then load USB as a module, i can get a usb mouse to work, but i cannot mount a usb drive.

    Any pointers where to look to solve this issue?
    Should i manually set "cpu_freq" or trust that Lolo 2.4 is doing it correctly?

    Thanks

    escatelo -

    Try using

    w /w 0x53FD0004 0x00010100

    before loading linux with USB enabled. There was a change in the board that was released with the Rev 2.0 silicon. See PCN 377.
    This will switch the default state of those two pins from Inputs to Outputs, and when doing this, the default state of the output is a ‘0’, thus driving ‘low’. This will work and is essentially what we do in the USB driver.

    Thanks
    Richard
