Boot C3000 Into Text Console

[ArchiMark]

OK, back in business after resetting Z back to factory condition..

Now wanted to install m-morino's kernel.....

Just tried but no change to Z after 2nd reset and boot up...

So, here's what I did. Please let me know if I have done something incorrect.

Put 2 files - zImage and updater.sh to the root level of CF  card.
Unplugged AC power cord from C3000.
Removed battery for about 30 seconds.
Replaced battery (replace battery cover, lock cover), and plugged in AC power.
Press and held the "OK" button on the keyboard.
Turned power on.
From Japanese service menu, I selected option 4 (flash/update).
Then from next four options (1. USB, 2. CF, 3. SD, 4. Back)
Choose option 2
After a while, I saw message "Please reset".
Unplugged AC power cord from C3000.
Removed battery for about 30 seconds.
Replaced battery (replace battery cover, lock cover), and plugged in AC power.
Turned on C3000.
It booted up as before, no change to boot up!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Now wanted to install m-morino's kernel.....
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65908\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

It's NOT my kernel
tetsu-san and other developers made the kernels from the SHARP's kernel source  

Anyway,

Put 2 files - zImage and updater.sh to the root level of CF  card.

What's the filesystem type of the CF? I normally use vfat and it works for my C3000.

Unplugged AC power cord from C3000.
Removed battery for about 30 seconds.
Replaced battery (replace battery cover, lock cover), and plugged in AC power.
Press and held the "OK" button on the keyboard.
Turned power on.
From Japanese service menu, I selected option 4 (flash/update).
Then from next four options (1. USB, 2. CF, 3. SD, 4. Back)
Choose option 2

So far, so good.

After a while, I saw message "Please reset".

If a file named "zImage" exists on the CF,
it oughts to show like below before the "reset" message.

Code: [Select]

kernel update
zImage:1244096bytes
It's obvious that the updater.sh couldn't find the file "zImage".
So you'll do better to check the filename of "zImage" again.
You may miss the filename extention of the file or something...

HTH,

Thanks as always for your help, m-morino!

OK, CF card is VFAT. So should be OK..

Renamed the 2 files as you noted in your first post....you said to rename file 'zImage', I tried that first but then changed it to 'zImage.bin'.

Doesn't seem to make any difference...as I have not ever seen the text:

Code: [Select]

kernel update
zImage:1244096bytes
I only see 'Please reset"....

Very strange.......

Hmm...  

Check the filename of "zImage" on the embeddedkonsole like this code:

Code: [Select]

# cd /mnt/cf
# ls zImage*Then rename it zImage without fail.

Code: [Select]

# mv (the filename acquired above) zImageAfter that, have a try at re-update.

WoooHoooo!!!

 


I finally saw

Code: [Select]

kernel update
zImage:1244096bytes
before it said 'Please reset'

Did that and then I saw Tux Penguin and text and then
HOWEVER, I saw the usual 'CG Silicon' screen before it finished booting...

Is that right?

Also, from earlier posts, it sounds like I should see some other applications installed?

So maybe have made some progress....??


Thanks,

Mark

Good morning, Mark! (right? Japan is in the dead of night. I'm very drowsy...)

Congratulations! you made it!

Right. The screen doesn't have to do with the kernel. QTopia shows the screen.

Also, from earlier posts, it sounds like I should see some other applications installed?

piro-san made [a href=\"http://www.piro.hopto.org/~piro/zaurus/etc/qclockchange-for-c3000_0.1_arm.ipk]a GUI clock changer[/url] for C3000. Try it.

Note that the application needs root privilege to change the clock.
I think you know how to do that.

HTH, HAND
