Booting
pmOS wouldn't boot automatically when it got powered on.Therefore we need to manually boot pmos from uboot shell (modifying the default boot behavior is not possible)
USB Stick
Due to the kernel is too big, the initramfs cant be loaded in memory.Therefore pmOS boot without inittemfs . Hence you need to put root=/dev/sdX2 in the kernel parameters. |
| usb dont work |
Run these commands to manually boot pmOS from USB Stick:
# usb reset;setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/sdX2 console=ttyS0,115200' ; ext4load usb 0:1 0xa00000 uImage;bootm 0xa00000
SATA
Run these commands to manually boot pmOS from sata drive:
# setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/sdX2 console=ttyS0,115200' ; ext4load ide 0:1 0xa00000 uImage;bootm 0xa00000
Storage
This device contain two internal storage : one is the spi chip (which for u-boot) , one is the hdd chip (which for os and data)
