Hi all,
Not wanting to waste anybody’s time here, I thought avoiding multiple “one step at a time” troubleshooting questions would be a good thing. So here is a long post, but as extensive as possible, in an attempt to make it useful for anyone more knowledgeable than me to point out where I am doing wrong…
As in a previous post I just deleted because repeating myself a bit, I am having similar problem then passive ( or other pluggers in the past) but everything I found in this forum (even if solving some problems) did not make it work completely.
Let’s start with the “runme mmc” logs and the error message at the end of it :
C:\Documents and Settings\bpelleti\My Documents\My SHeevaPlug project\SheevaPlug

Now the background and everything I tried :
• I am using an XP machine (that’s all I have)
• I never did anything related to Linux with this machine before (or any other machine in fact)
• I have CDM 2.04.16_SHEEVA usb drivers installed as described here in the wiki
http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Serial_terminal_program#Updating_the_Windows_Driver:_FTDI_2232.
• I installed Putty for serial console
• I purchased my plug 2 weeks ago, and received it 2 days ago
• It looks like (but not sure it is) a newer plug. Distance between Ethernet and USB port is about an inch, but using “USBDeview” utility, my plug shows Vendor ID and Product ID being 9e88 and 9e8f. (as opposed to the expected 0403 and 6010 for the most recent ones…)
• When first connected the plug to my pc, the windows XP automated driver installation ran 3 times, and each time I pointed it to the CDM 2.04.16 directory for drivers to be installed. Looks like drivers are installed OK.
• I later discovered only one COM PORT (#14) showed up where other users got two. Based on findings in this forum (thanks to all) I checked the proper box in the USB Serial Converter properties and then saw both COM PORT 13 (on converter A) and 14 (on converter B) - see COM13&14picture attached.
• I set both COM PORT 13 and 14 to the following parameters : 115200, 8n1 with FLOW CONTROL to NONE (also according to finding in this forum or wiki)
• With those same parameters in Putty, I can open session on COM14, press “ENTER” once and then get a “debian login: ” prompt. ( I don’t know what to use as login, but I think it proves connection ok)
• Still with session open on COM14 and resetting the plug with the reset button, I get a long sequence of logs. But at the end the log freeze on an error message (see here)

• Again with same parameters in Putty I only get a blank screen when opening a session on COM13. Pressing ENTER does nothing, and resetting the plug shows nothing either.
Now for the INSTALLER PROCESS
• I found and updated the “uboot-mmc-custom.txt” file with my plug MAC address
• I found and replaced the “openocd” file with the new one posted by rooster earlier in this thread.
• I tried both set of VIP and PID in the “sheevaplug.cfg” file
• I tried 3 different version of “uboot.bin” file in my “installer/uboot/” directory :
o The original one included in the installer package
o The “rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_uart.bin” found as per the Installer README
at
http://plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=select&id=6 o The “u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug.bin” found at
http://plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=startdown&id=41 • I tried with and without a freshly formatted FAT Sandisk 2Go SD card inserted in the plug
I also did the following many times
• Disconnect/reconnect the mini usb cable
• Use another mini usb cable
• Power off / power on the plug
• Reset the plug with the reset button on it (beside the sd card slot)
• Reboot my pc
• Various combination/sequence of the above
Each attempt to “runme mmc” gave me the exact same results shown at the beginning, even when running it with no plug connected at all
…
So besides wondering why I can’t make it work, my questions are:
1. Should I run “runme mmc” with SD card inserted or not?
2. Should I set my “sheevaplug.cfg” file with (9e88 and 9e8f) or (0403 and 6010)? Currently my plugs shows (9e88 and 9e8f) in USBDeview.
3. What “uboot.bin” should I use and where exactly to download it from? (I mean should I find it under the exact same short simple name on the download page ? Or what exact file name am I looking for?)
4. Does both COM PORT must be set the same ? (More specifically for speed and Flow Control)
5. Should I also copy the “uboot-mmc-custom.txt” to the USB stick root ? (INSTALLER v1.0 procedure don’t ask for it, but I read it was necessary on previous version of the installer… )
6. Does the plug need to be connected to my network router ? (INSTALLER v1.0 procedure don’t say so, but should I at this stage ?)
7. Anything else could be the problem ?
Not a Linux user at all, and not used to these community forum, I did my best to help you helping me ;-) but feel free to educate me if I did something wrong.
Otherwise, thank in advance for your help.
