Digi 9P 9360/9750 manual Copy the kernel to RAM

jffs2_get_inode_nodes(): Data CRC failed on node at 0xXX XXXXXX: Read 0xXXXXXXXX, calculated 0xXXXXXXXX

The message above is printed if the file system was not cleanly unmounted. The system should not be powered off before all partitions are unmounted. After a clean unmount, the message should disappear.

Step 1: Set bootargs to be passed to the kernel

The environmental variable bootargs must be updated to tell Linux that the rootfs is taken from Flash and it is stored in JFFS2 file system. Enter the following commands to manually initate these commands:

#setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock3 rw rootfstype=jffs2 ip=... console=...

#saveenv

Step 2: Copy the kernel to RAM

Depending on the flash type of your platform, use for NOR flash the following command to copy the kernel from Flash to RAM memory:

#cp.b <startaddr> <loadaddr> <image_size>

For NAND flash use the following command:

#nand read.jffs2s <loadaddr> <startaddr> <image_size>

Step 3: Launch the kernel from RAM

Now that the kernel image has been copied to RAM, we can execute Linux with the following command:

#bootm <loadaddr>
