Hi,

But when I boot the board, it still boot into the orginal
angstrom, the boot.scr likes not working. Could you please help me
to let it work? Thanks.

Hi,

I'm forwarding this message to the fedora ARM mailing list, as it's better to ask there than to contact me directly.

Are you using a recent version of u-boot.bin? Have you manually changed any of the u-boot environment variables at any point?

I didn't write the section of the tutorial concerning the boot.scr file. I'm not too familiar with how u-boot works, but I can say that the process worked for me on the two fresh out-of-the-box beagleboard xms i've tried it on.

Incidentally, I had modified some of the default u-boot environment variables to the point where boot.scr wasn't working for me on one of the BeagleBoards I've been working with. To fix it, I restored the bootcmd environment variable to the default value it shipped with:

setenv bootcmd "if mmc init ${mmcdev}; then if userbutton; then setenv bootscr user.scr; if run loadbootscript; then run bootscript; else if run loaduimage; then if run loadramdisk; then run ramboot; else run mmcboot; fi; fi; fi; else setenv bootscr boot.scr; if run loadbootscript; then run bootscript; else if run loaduimage; then run mmcboot; else run nandboot; fi; fi; fi; else run nandboot; fi" saveenv

As long as you didn't touch any of the rest of the environment variables, this should load the boot.scr file and execute what's inside of it.
