Should I insert SD card to boot?

$

I chose TFTP and NFS mode and expected that it would fetch boot image from /tftpboot directory and mount /home/jongampark/targetfs directory as s remote directory.

So, it looks like that it will be OK not to insert an SD card which contains boot image.

However, it turned out that I had to insert the SD card.

Only after inserting the card it prints out messages to a minicom or any serial terminal program.


U-Boot 2010.06 (Oct 10 2012 - 02:04:37)

DRAM: 2 GiB
MMC: OMAP SD/MMC: 0
Using default environment

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 

...

Well, it doesn't look to accept any keyboard input at that moment.. then it reads a u-boot.bin. ( probably it reads from the SD card, because it didn't received my hitting a key at that moment.

Then overall procedure is like this.

What is shown is...

I just typed what the minicom script generated by the setup.sh was supposed to put.

And as you can see, it just displayed "Erasing Nand..."

I don't know how long it will take to finish "erasing NAND flash memory".
It already passed more than 10 minutes.

But when I booted from the SD memory earlier, it said that there was no NAND device.
So, I wonder if the current message is correct or not.

Do you think there is something wrong? If so, what is it?

Also, the minicom script doesn't look to operate correctly. I doubt if it successfully detects "stop auto boot:" message and send a key ( in the script i is send "" ) successfully.


How can I check if the tftp server is sending any data to the reference board and how to figure out how much it is progressed?

( It still displays "Erasing Nand...")


I wonder if an expected u-boot.bin was loaded at right after the first "Hit any key to stop auto boot: 0" line.
If it is to be loaded from tftp for boot image and filesystem on my local HDD, then I expect it should be OK not to insert the sD card at all.

(whether it's the SD card bundled with the reference board or the one I built by following the SW programming guide )

It is strange that the SD card should be inserted to see the very initial prompt messages at least.


Can somebody guide me?

Thank you.

 

P.S. I asked in other thread also. Please someone help me. I'm just wasting time to configure a dev. environment.
