tiny6410 - ubuntu install problems

[sundeepgoel]

Hi,

I am trying to load ubuntu on the following board without success.

version : 1220
CPU : S3C6410 533Mhz
RAM : 256MB
NAND : 256MB(SLC) ID: ECDA1095
LCD Type : H43(auto)


FriendlyArm.ini settings that i used
--------------------------------------------------
LCD-Mode = Yes
LCD-Type = h43

CheckOneButton=No
Action=install
OS= Ubuntu

VerifyNandWrite=No

StatusType = Beeper| LED
#################### Ubuntu #####################
Ubuntu-BootLoader = superboot-6410.bin
Ubuntu-Kernel = Ubuntu/uzImage_n43
Ubuntu-CommandLine = root=ubi0:FriendlyARM-root ubi.mtd=2 rootfstype=ubifs
init=/linuxrc console=ttySAC0,115200
Ubuntu-RootFs-InstallImage = Ubuntu/rootfs_ubuntu-slc.ubi
Ubuntu-RootFs-RunImage = Ubuntu/rootfs_ubuntu.ext3

The install runs fine till 82% and then stops with an error.

I even tried to install with following setting (even thought he NAND said
SLC), but this stopped at 79%
Ubuntu-RootFs-InstallImage = Ubuntu/rootfs_ubuntu-mlc2.ubi

Please suggest a way out ?

Hi friend:

May be it's the problem of the ubuntu image corruption or the compatiblity of the N43 kernel image,

friendly ARM have not provided the H43 kernel image for Ubuntu until now. Even ubuntu is successfully

installed in Tiny6410 with H43 screen, there is a problem of the display resolution.

Unity isnt nearly as bad as people make it out to be. The HUD is actually amazing. It does have problems with usability during heavy multitasking though.

I would suggest you install Ubuntu plain and then install KDE and maybe a Gnome fork Mate?, and see what you like best.

There may come problems using ubuntu initially, but later it comes out to be good operating system.
