Too many Zeros  

I installed on a SD on my D2Plug

Boots OK, but getting at boot time:
[   54.249500] hdmitx: version magic '2.6.32.9-dove-5.4.2 mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.55-dove-5.4.2 mod_unload ARMv7 '

Tried:

I guess I need to track down the source for hdmitx

I think you are looking for /etc/fstab
Look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab

As a final resort, get a magnifying glass and see if the pins in the mini USB are bent.

Maybe you'll get lucky.

Try this from my UnBricking post

Bricked my Sheevaplug, Unbricked & upgraded at once -- HOWTO

15. Install the FTDI drivers:
     Open "Device Manager". Plug USB Serial cable from SheevaPlug to the computer.
     Hardware will be found.  Open the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0\bin\ directory.
     Run INF-Wizard.  Choose the device with "interface 0" in the description.
     Install driver.  Right click on "SheevaPlug JTAGKey FT2332D B" in the Device Manager.
      Update driver, Point it to the CDM 2.04.16_SHEEVA directory.
     Right click on "USB Serial Port" in Device Manager, Update driver,
      Point it to the CDM 2.04.16_SHEEVA directory.

Hope this helps,

  e-squizo did it 

See: Topic: uboot-envtools  <-- Click here for Message


and maybe reference:
U-boot environment variables in linux

Hope this works for you

Remember all the advise on the Internet is free and some of it is worth less than that.   

Like I said getting the Serial port and the openocd to connect at the same time was a bear.
I would get it working but after trying a million things it took me forever to figure out which
one of the million fixed it.


From some post I read on slowing things down, So I messed around with:

Good Luck,

Has anybody tried these instructions?  Did it work for you?

Thanks,
BigBear59

After adding a bunch of junk to my new SheevaPlug, I decided to restore it back to factory default.
Easier said then done!!!
Following instructions on the Internet , I managed to Brick it.  Got the uboot with the garbage screen.

So bringing it back from the brick,  I used a VMware virtual Windows XP machine and VMware  Workstation to
make a video of how I got it back.  After I figured it out I decided, with some trial and error, to  upgrade
it to Kernel 2.6.36 & Ubuntu 9.0.4 at the same time.

The video is on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlgQAOExZS4

and here are the Instructions:


1.   Go to http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SheevaPlug_Installer
     In the Alpha 6 section, click on "get tarball here"
      should send you to
      http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=fileinfo&id=53
     Get the SheevaPlug Installer

2.  Go to http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1134.30
    Get u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin-pingtoo-patch.01, it's a link about
     half way down the page:
     http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1134.0;attach=201

3.  Go to http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Serial_terminal_program
     Click on link: SheevaPlug_Host_SWsupportPackageWindowsHost1.2.zip

4.  Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/
    Click on link: libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip

5.  Go to http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
    Get PuTTY installer if you don't already use PuTTY

6.  Go to
      http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Install_Prebuilt_Kernels_From_sheeva.with-linux.com
    Click on link: sheeva.with-linux.com, which takes you to:
     http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/
    Click on link 2.6.36
    Click on link: sheeva-2.6.36-Modules.tar.gz
    Click on link: sheeva-2.6.36-uImage
    Right click on sheeva-2.6.36-System.map and do  "save link as"

7.  Unzip libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip, save to Sheevaplug directory.
    Unzip SheevaPlug_Host_SWsupportPackageWindowsHost1.2.zip, drill down to CDM 2.04.16_SHEEVA,
     save to Sheevaplug directory.
    Untar sheevaplug-installer-v1.0.tar.gz, drill down into sheevaplug-installer,
     save sheevaplug-installer-v1.0 to Sheevaplug directory

8.  Open sheevaplug-installer directory, open another explore window where all files were
      downloaded  Move  sheeva-2.6.36-Modules.tar.gz, sheeva-2.6.36-uImage,
      sheeva-2.6.36-System.maps & 
      u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin-pingtoo-patch.01
      to the Installer directory

9.  Delete modules.tar.gz, rename sheeva-2.6.36-Modules.tar.gz to modules.tar.gz

10. Delete uImage, rename sheeva-2.6.36-uImage to uImage

11. Right click on u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin-pingtoo-patch.01 and Cut
    Go to uboot directory, right click and Paste
    delete uboot.bin, rename u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin-pingtoo-patch.01
     to uboot.bin.

12. Install PuTTY

13. Edit the 3 text files in the uboot-env directory,
       change the ethaddr entry in each to the MAC address from the sticker on the
       bottom of the SheevaPlug

14. Insert USB Stick, copy the files in the installer directory: modules.tar.gz,
     initrd, rootfs.tar.gz, uImage, modules,tar.gz & sheeva-2.6.36-System.map
     to the USB Stick, Eject the USB Stick and put into the SheevaPlug.

15. Install the FTDI drivers: 
       This step took longer to figure out, then all the other steps, so that I could
         use the CMD to  upgrade the uboot and connect to the Serial port,
         I mean it was like a day or two
     Open "Device Manager". Plug USB Serial cable from SheevaPlug to the computer.
     Hardware will be found.  Open the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0\bin\ directory.
     Run INF-Wizard.  Choose the device with "interface 0" in the description.
     Install driver.  Right click on "SheevaPlug JTAGKey FT2332D B" in the Device Manager.
      Update driver, Point it to the CDM 2.04.16_SHEEVA directory.
     Right click on "USB Serial Port" in Device Manager, Update driver,
      Point it to the CDM 2.04.16_SHEEVA directory.

16.  Right click on "COM & LPT" in the Device Manager, Note the number of the new Com port.

17.  Open Putty, Click on Serial at the bottom of Left pane. Change number of COM to new Com
       port number change Speed to 115200, Flow control to None.   Click on Session, select
       Serial Option. change Serial line to new Com port, Put a name in the Saved Sessions,
       click Save, click open.

18. Open a CMD window and CD to the sheevaplug-installer\installer\ directory.
    Enter "runme nand", you should see the new uboot being installed.  after
     it's installed you should see the SheevaPlug being upgraded in the PuTTY window.

19. Login into the SheevaPlug, root password is the default "nosoup4u"
    mount the USB Stick,
    Enter: mkdir /boot; cp sheeva-2.6.36-System.map /boot/,;
     depmod -eF /boot/sheeva-2.6.36-System.map 2.6.36

20. Your SheevaPlug should be back from the Dead


My next project is to make a Linux VM, Yeah!! no licensing problems
and/or a Live CD with everything installed and ready to go.
Should just need to load the USB Stick and unbrick.

Hope this helps,
