No power to USB ports???
« on: January 01, 2010, 12:49:07 am »
I just ordered, and received my 2 gadget pc\'s. I can\'t seem to get my wireless working, neither power to an USB Arduino. It seems to power it for the first 10 milliseconds but nothing after that. I can\'t really see if it is or not working.

Any help?

I only have a WUA-1340 Wireless D-link device, GadgetPC, and a 4gb flash drive.

1. GadgetPC has 2 LEDs ( RED and GREEN).
Are they switched ON when you power the GPC  board through USB device port ?

2. Does your Flash drive have  a built-in LED/indicator ?
Can you see any activity ?

3. WUA-1340 has a built-in LED. Can you see any activity?

Btw, the simplest way to get started is to connect
a  BRD-RS232-TTL-1  peripheral board .

Then you will be able to see all messages to identify the problem ( Loader and Linux boot messages)

Please look at this topic as well

1. Ok yes those are working.

2. The flash drive works.

3. I think i got a broken WUA-1340.

I should get my BRD-RS232-TTL-1 tomorrow.

Ok new problem.

When I use my ttl-rs232 converter on Sam-ba 2.8 using the "GadgetPC System Installation Guide" I get an error in the console.

Code: [Select]
SAM-BA console display active (Tcl8.4.13 / Tk8.4.13)
(AT91-ISP v1.12) 1 %
(AT91-ISP v1.12) 1 % Dataflash::SelectDataflash AT91C_SPI0_CS1
-I- Init SPI0 for DataFlash interfaces
-I- Configure SPI0 PIOs
-I- Reset the SPI0
-I- Configure SPI0 in Master Mode (no CS selected)
-I- Configure SPI0 CS0 for DataFlash AT45
-I- Configure SPI0 CS1 for DataFlash AT45
-I- Disable the RX and TX PDC transfer requests
-I- Reset all Counter register Next buffer first
-I- Enable the RX and TX PDC transfer requests
-I- End of Init_DataFlash
-I- Switch to the correct PCS of SPI0 Mode Register (Fixed Peripheral Selected)
-I- Chip Select 1 Selected
-I- Enable the SPI0
-I- Wait for dataflash ready (bit7 of the status register)
-E- DataFlash Not Detected

You don\'t need SAM-BA at all.
Just run a hyperterminal ( 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, without hardware control)

I need to install Debian and use a UVC camera on my project. Isn\'t it necessary to have access through SAM-BA.

SAM-BA will work only over USB.
We provide UART0 on the 8-pin connector.

> I need to install Debian and use a UVC camera on my project.

Please move incrementally. Try to start with ARM9 Linux release. It is much simpler.
If everything works you can try Debian.

In any case, the 1st step is  to see Loader messages on Hyperterminal window

And I need the RS232 to TTL converter for that?

You need the converter only to get started.
Because you will see all log messages.
Theoretically, if you are enough experienced you can manage that task ( Linux configuration, administration) without  a serial console.
For example, using telnet,putty, etc. over network connection.
To get started at the 1st time I recommend to use the converter. This is the simplest way to get access to Linux console even if the system is not configured correct.

Everything is connected properly and still zip in hyperterminal.
