    Hi, sorry for bothering but I tried different time to flash some microsd (3 actually) but I can't get output on the boot.
    I've seen the FAQ and I'm pretty sure my problem is on uboot but I cannot get over
    Code:
    [root@localhost unsigned]# grep -a --null-data U-Boot /dev/mmcblk0
    Ge�Pe�����E��E��U-Boot 2013.10-rc3 (Jan 20 2014 - 13:33:34)Warning: U-Boot configured device %s at address %llx,
     but the device tree has it address %llx.
    U-Boot** Invalid partition type "%.32s" (expect "U-Boot")
    Error: %d bit/pixel bitmaps not supported by U-Boot
    ^C
    
    The output has this strange character and I think is not normal, I've serched the error on the c code of uboot but I can't understand what it's the problem :/

    Thanks

    this topic will never answered and you probably will ban me

    Hi, this is like the 3rd time I post the same thing.

    I've flashed 2 card both with the dummy procedure with the image and the u-boot flashing and copy the file and kernel, I've read all the faq and probably all the udoo thing on google.
    My problem is simple, u-boot is installed
    Code:
    [root@localhost unsigned]# grep -a --null-data U-Boot /dev/mmcblk0
    U-Boot 2009.08-svn89 (Oct 29 2013 - 16:13:13)U-Boot** Invalid partition type "%.32s" (expect "U-Boot")
    ^C
    [root@localhost unsigned]# 
    
    tried with all the u-boot possible for udoo quad (even installed archlinux, and android, yes), tried praying, tried erase the first part of the sd and flash again but no results.

    Can you please help me or is not so intresting?
    How can I post my fabolous project if I can't even boot? -.-

    What are you trying to accomplish? Just get the system to boot up? I don't follow what you're doing with the null data and all that...

    Why don't you just dd the disk image onto the card???

    My suggestion is:
    1. Download the latest Ubuntu image from UDOO website (Dual and Quad have different images, which UDOO model do you have?)
    2. Flash again your microSD card strictly following the procedure (what is the OS you're running on your machine? be sure to format properly and completely de card before to start the dd procedure)
    3. Check for you power supply, it needs to be 12V 2A.

    Let me know.

    I use gparted for formatting.(FAT32 FS)
    i have tried to writing new version os quad in a sdcard but nothing to do.
    The power supply is 12v 2A..
    This is strange because 6 month ago i haven't found any problem ...
    Yesterday I have spent money for buy arduino2 because i need for my project and i not have more time to waiting.
    I think my udoo is dead.
    I pray for my udoo
    Thanks..

    WHY are you formatting FAT32???

    Just reimage the card using one of the disk images. It will partition and format the card for you when doing the imaging.

    Sorry, but it really sounds like you're not imaging the sd card properly, but can't tell for sure without knowing exactly what steps you're taking.

    same thing, formatted with fat32 and ext3
    I have Fedora 20 with mainline kernel on an asus ultrabook (can't remember the serial name) I've tried even on windows :/

    I'm trying to read the freescale documentation for the i.mx6 but the few knowledge I've had from my OS courses are not enough to fully understand :/

    as I posted the null data are appeared in the 2013 version of u-boot, but even the 2009 version doesn't boot so I don't think this is the problem...
    I've seen even other board have the same warning, I read the uboot source for the part of the warning and (I think) the warning is irrelevant...

    Currently I'm trying so search a method to read the first sectors of the sd but I don't know how to do it :/
