Error Initializing DataFlash Applet (AT91SAM9260)

The SAM7 working great now :slight_smile:

However I also have a SAM9-l9260. (for a different project) When I got it out of the box and plugged it in to my environment, all I got was:

RomBOOT

It would never do anything else.

I thought maybe Linux wasn’t flashed onto it, and I would go ahead and flash it according the docs on the CD. I pull a couple of jumpers, and the run at91sam9260_demo_linux_dataflash.bat. Results are below:

Was board damaged in shipping? Is there something that can be done to help it? Should I send it back?

Thank you

Hi,

I have same problem with AT91SAM9263-EK every time I want to enable data flash I get this error:

Script File at91sam9263ek_demo_linux_dataflash.tcl returned error : Error Initializing DataFlash Applet (Can’t detect known device) - Error Initializing DataFlash Applet (Can’t detect known device)

Actually I want to load linux on my SD Flash and boot from it. I worked out to boot an image to NAND Flash and I can run linux from it but I really need to run it from SD Flash as I need more free space available.

P.S. Using SAM-BA v2.7

BTW: did some one run java applications in graphic mode on that kind of cards? It’s my final purpose.

If someone is familiar with an issue any help would be appretiated.
