Creating SD Card issue [solved]

[noob234]

My two LEDs were on and the green ethernet Led blinking. But no bootup!

My solution:

After copying the files to the BOOT partition. I had to check the FAT32 partition like this:

sudo dosfsck -w -r -l -a -v -t /dev/sdc1

Then it worked. I always have to do this again after copying new files to BOOT!

Strange.

Instead of running dosfck each time, can you try sync and see if that has the same effect.

Thanx,

now with the different power supply with bigger wires I don't have to do this anymore.
sync does it now.

Hi Ralph,

Well, at present I'm hoping there is not a problem with my board, but rather with the ctimer test program. (For what it's worth, I have no issues with matmul, including over ssh.)

Looking at the code, The ctimer test reports a failure if any result is more than 5% different from the expected value. I'm surprised by that, as I would have thought this was an entirely deterministic test (i.e. the results should always be identical) ??
