it seems all of the uboot env variables dont work on 12.04, I tried the video mode and the root one.. it seems they arent used.. and possibly might have to use the mmc variables. anyone manage to get those to work on 12.04? help!
Re: issues with the 12.04 linaro after some experimentation, the env ones we need to switch seem to be.. for video mode.. do a editenv on the mmcargs mmcargs 'setenv bootargs console=$(console),$(baudrate) root=/dev/sda1 $(hdmi_patch) fbmem=24M video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1440x900M@60,bpp=32' change the 1440x900 to the res of your display.. it defaults to 1920x1080 to get it to boot from the hard drive.. change the mmcroot arg from the sd card to dev/sda1 leaving everthing else as is.. test it first with out saveenv. just to make sure it works.. I'm gonna go and put the 12.04 filesystem on the hard drive and see if it works
Re: issues with the 12.04 linaro yes it works. so with 12.04 use the variables here.. and use the editenv.. its so much easier than typing the entire command out every time..
[solved] Re: issues with the 12.04 linaro seems as it we can mark this topic solve right? Thanks for providing the input
