Hi,
 i try to boot linux kernel for mele A1000, but not work.
I have create uImage , u-boot-spl-mmc.bin and u-boot.bin
following the instructions on the wiki.

Next i have create on sd card the partitions

[root at lxf16 mele]# fdisk -lu /dev/sdd

Disco /dev/sdd: 998 MB, 998768640 byte
31 testine, 62 settori/tracce, 1014 cilindri, totale 1950720 settori
Unità = settori di 1 * 512 = 512 byte
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Identificativo disco: 0x21b0839f

Dispositivo Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdd1   *        2048       34815       16384    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdd2           34816     1950719      957952   83  Linux

and copy uImage and boot.scr on the vfat partition.
The boot.scr is generated with this command:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -n 'Male boot script' -d boot.cmd
boot.scr

and the file boot.cmd have this content

mmcinfo; fatload mmc 0 50000000 uImage ;bootm 50000000`

Next i have write u-boot-spl-mmc.bin and u-boot.bin with this commads:

dd if=u-boot-spl-mmc.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=1024 seek=8
dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=1024 seek=32


I have insert this sd on my mele box, but i not have output on my hdmi
screen(the kernel have the hdmi and console framebuffer option built-in)

I not have an serial cable for debug!!!!
The procedure is right????


Regards
Gerardo Di Iorio
