I just got our MIMXC31SOM Zoom kit today. I have tried several Compact Flash cards in the slot, including the one that works fine with our PXA270 kit. However, when us the LOLO command mount fatfs /cf I get the following error: timeout resetting cf card error: mount: failed to open (ATA) I have successfully updated to version 2.3.5 of Lolo, but this did not help. Thanks for your time, -Kevin

dadawan - What is the part number of your kit? It can be found on a sticker on the SOM. It should be 1006XXX Rev. X Thanks

What type of partition do you have setup on the card?

They are formatted as FAT partitions. The one card is the same one which we use in our LPD PXA270 kit. I assume that the command to mount the card using Lolo is the same whether you are using the IMX31 board or the PXA270 board: mount fatfs /cf -Kevin

Yep, commands are the same. Hopefully our SW guys will chime in, I am pretty sure FAT16 should work, FAT32 may not. I have seen issues in the past were customers used winCE to format the cards, but then upon rebooting the system Lolo stopped recognizing the partitions.... For our records can you post the CF card brand, density, any model numbers if applicable?

I don't know if this is your problem, but the partition not only must be a FAT partition, but must also be a primary partition. An extended partition will not work. We've had problems with Windows (PC or CE) always trying to format the partitions as extended rather than primary.

jesrui, For you kit revision, you must change to Lolo version 2.3.3 which is available on the LogicPD website in order to make compact flash interface work. Version 2.3.5 will NOT work for your product. This is a direct link if you are logged in already: http://www.logicpd.com/do...ves/1998/1007306.zip -K

My compact flash mounted fine on the first try this morning. I went through and tried all the cards that failed yesterday, and they all work. I've been working with it all day, and the original problem has not recurred. It is a mystery. -Kevin

OK, the mounting of the CF card just failed again. I am using the same CF card that worked all day yesterday. The sequence was: 1.) I push the CF card securely in the slot. 2.) Pressed the On power button on the Dev board 3.) see the following: *************************************************************** LogicLoader (c) Copyright 2002-2006, Logic Product Development, Inc.

I can't get CF to work either. I've followed all the suggestions in this thread, but no luck. As well as the errors reported by others, I also sometimes get an ata_read error as shown below. Baseboard 1007052 Rev 1 SOM 1006581 Rev 2 128Mb Fuji CF LoLo 2.3.5 (also tried 2.3.3, same results) Any further suggestions would be very welcome! - Roy - losh> mount fatfs /cf timeout resetting cf card error: mount: failed to open (ATA) losh> losh> losh> mount fatfs /cf ata_read: lba too big, 1 at lba:-471859200 read_partition_info: read failed error: mount: unable to mount (/) losh> mount fatfs /cf error: mount: unable to mount (/) losh>

Aha! It didn't like the Fuji CF card. I've now tried a Kingston 1Gb "elite pro" and it works - at least for now, - Roy -

So, I burned Lolo-2.3.3 on my REV 1 LITEKIT and the cf works now, but sometimes I must power cycle the board just as commented by dadawan.
