now i'm trying to recover it using sheeva installer but i give the error: unable to open ftdi device, i have check the vip and pid on the device manager but it don't solve the issue please anybody can help me

edit: finally i can fix this issues, the problem was that i don't disable the filter with libusb, but now i have another error:

finally i get it works, after the erase error it writes and then the sheeva works ok

[Guber1]

i see on the uboot starts something strange :

T T T T T T T T T T
Retry count exceeded; starting again
## Booting image at 02000000 ...
Bad Magic Number
Unknown command '<NULL>' - try 'help'
Marvell>>

what's mean this? are something wrong?

[fragfutter]

it tries to get a Bootimage from a tftpserver and times out. Then it tries to load an image from internal flash at adress 0x200000 and doesn't find one. Next it runs an unknown command.

Show the output of "printenv" to get more help.

here are the printenv i must say that i have try to install debian on a mmc

[fragfutter]

this env is not consistent with the error message you posted before.

This is the interesting part.

Code:

bootargs_console=console=ttyS0,115200
bootargs_root=root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
bootcmd_mmc=mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x00800000 /uImage
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_mmc; bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000

You can run it step by step at the u-boot prompt to find the error. (without my comments)

Code:

setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root)   # configure the parameters that will be passed to the kernel
mmcinit # initialize SD card
ext2load mmc 0:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd # load ramdisk from sd card to memory address
ext2load mmc 0:1 0x00800000 /uImage # load kernel from sd card to memory address
bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000 # start kernel with ramdisk

why did you say that it not consistent?, y can have troubles with this?, now and i out of home when i arrive home try these commands. Thanks

[fragfutter]

because the errors you posted show tftp timeouts and a boot from a different memory address. your u-boot env only does the steps i posted.

[Guber1]

if i do the steps that you say debian boots from mi sd card, i really don't understand what it's the problem

[fragfutter]

so reset plug, interrupt at the boot, check the env and simply run "boot". if this doesn't work it might be a timing issue with mmcinit. reset, interrupt, run mmcinit, count to 10, then run boot.

[Guber1]

if i reset an interupt the boot, then type boot and also debian starts.
