NAON#

These messages are printed by U-Boot, which has a serial console that allow basic interaction with the system. Please find more information in the U-Boot category page.

At the end of its boot sequence, U-Boot prints NAON# prompt and waits for user commands.

The default u-boot environment can be printed using the print command:

Booting from SD/MMC[edit | edit source]

If you have the bootable SD/MMC provided with the development kit and it contains the boot.scr script file, the following command is automatically executed by U-Boot:

echo trying to boot from NELK MMC; mmc rescan 0; fatload mmc 0 80900000 boot.scr; source 80900000; run net_nfs

If the boot.scr script file is not available, you can manually boot the system from SD using the following commands:

mmc rescan 0
fatload mmc 0 81000000 uImage
setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw'
run mmcargs addip addcons addmem
bootm 81000000

If a Linux kernel image has been preliminary programmed on the SPI NOR flash, you can run the following command:

run spi_mmc

To start Linux (from on-board SPI NOR flash) and mount the development root file system (over SD/MMC).

Booting from network[edit | edit source]

If you have installed the DAVE Embedded Systems Virtual Development Kit, you can start the Virtual Machine and start Linux loading the kernel through tftp and mounting the NFS root file system with the following command:

run net_nfs

Please note that you need to modify some u-boot environment variables before running the net_nfs configuration. For further information, please refer to Configuration net_nfs.
