RISCOS INSTALL BEAGLEBOARD XM

Yep It doesent boot (Can be i have a wrong usb stick but i have inerted HArdDisc4 and InsctallHD4). : (

I think my last chance is Andrew : ).

Now that you have written that image to the SD card, can you read the SD card in Windows?

Yes This one is readeable.

Excellent! Getting closer!
Download the file below and unzip it to your SD card, then see if it boots!

Tried but the screen remain black and no activity led on the beagleboard only D5 remain light on.
Can be i have made a wrong usb stick?

Try booting the Beagleboard without the USB stick plugged in.
I just want to check, are you using the onboard micro sd card slot?

Also what revision of the Beagleboard-xM are you using?

Thank you Rob for your help ; ).
Yes i’m using the onboard micro sd card slot.
The revision is C.

With only the SD on i have the same D5 on and nothing happens.

Okay, as you have the same revision as me, I’ve made a backup of my SD card and uploaded it for you.
Can you download the file below, unzip it to your card and overwrite any existing files.

Great it starts,but then it say waitng for boot drive to be ready,press escape to cancel. and nothing continue to load.

Great! This means your SD card is working now!
If you press Escape, wait a few moments, type Desktop and press enter, you should get a RISC OS desktop.

However, onto the next stage!!
You can now start the Beagleboard with the USB stick plugged in, and follow the instuctions here;

You need start at the section “Putting the HardDisc4 image onto a USB drive”

Thank you very much ROB : ). Now i have loaded the desktop.

You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy RISC OS!

i have just made an usb stick with hardisk4 and installhd, when i click over :0 icon i get a loading cursor but no hard disk folder.

Is the USB stick FAT formatted?

yes

I’ll see if I can find a spare USB stick and see if I get the same issue.
It might be later on today though. :(

OK thank you.
I will wait.

i dont find any SCSI folder or disk on desktop i have only Apps and :0 that it say it’s empty.

Did you boot the Beagleboard with the USB stick plugged in?

Yes Rob with the usb stick plugged. The usb stick is fat formatted with inside The Hardisk4 self extracting from the risc os open site and the installhd from the Beagle Rom 5.19 package.

You can’t (yet) boot from a FAT-formatted USB stick. It needs to be FileCore formatted. This is what you should be getting from ROOL when your order arrives.

Cheers Steve, I don’t think Matteo can get his Beagleboard to recognise any USB sticks at the moment.

Ok Thank you hope it arrives soon.
Now i have a working SD ROM that i think it’s needed to use risc os open.
