Starting kernel ...



it just hangs here.
do i need to do anything else apart from following the wiki?

Hi guys. Unfortunately, I have also fallen into this same trap with my new Carambola2 module. Is there a way to get the correct *.bin image back onto the module, and get it working again? Again, my module just hangs at the "Starting kernel ..." message, but I can press the "Esc" key to stop autoboot and from there it seems like it may be possible to load a new image (using something like "loady" - but I'd like better instructions on the correct way to proceed).

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
bin images lives there:
http://pkg.8devices.com/

Cheers, where did you get that link from? Also, do you know how to upload and build the new image (is it the same)?
It seems that it is possible (http://mark.mckillen.com/2014/01/mis-ad ... l-wr741nd/) in U-boot, but I have no idea what a TFTP server is and how to configure it.

Will '#git clone https://github.com/8devices/carambola2' get the latest files as well? I've tried '#git tag -l' and it didn't return anything showing the version of the files that were cloned.

Ok. And, how does one go about loading that image from U-boot?

Yea, I tried to follow that page, but I'm not sure what some of the parameters should be set to. Do you have a screenshot of the "DHCP" tab in the TFTP32 program? Then once that is up and running how would I proceed (the menus I have don't match the ones shown here http://8devices.com/wiki_carambola/doku ... grade:tftp). Also the instructions here (http://mark.mckillen.com/2014/01/mis-ad ... l-wr741nd/) aren't for the carambola explicitly, so what needs to change for the carambola2?

A little bit of an explanation would be really helpful. Thanks
