Uploading problem in OSK5912

[Menon, Nishanth]

This is a generic issue,

Without using ethernet, You have lots of options:
jtag/flash/uart/usb(ost host) etc.. One excellent documentation I have
seen for osk is: http://oskfordummies.hp.infoseek.co.jp/howto.html. Also
u might be interested in checking out
http://linux.omap.com/pub/documentation/ for more data (some docs from
other platforms might be generic enough to be useful). Ofcourse, google
is a nice place to start off, and surely you can try checking this
mailing list and the arm linux mailing list archives too..

To flash it use the uboot itself(if u already have one uboot on board) -
it should support flashing options. Protect off, erase , cp commands
should be good enough for NOR flash. There is help for the same within
uboot itself (type help at uboot command prompt)
Or u can use the ost host tool as described in the oskfordummies.

Ok.. I assume that u would like to download kernel? Or do u want to
download a filesystem? Let me try either one of them
Onboard, u can use the loadb command that can take a file
(uImage/uboot.bin/some bin) over serial port using Kermit. Once u have a
filesystem (either ramdisk/jffs2 based flash/nfs filesystem) u can boot
ur kernel. But a kernel alone will not be of much use to u. the apps
need to reside on the filesystem. Once u have the filesystem is
available and u have some sort of prompt, check the filesystem apps
available. They should behave as if you are on a normal linux box.
