[Arm-netbook] mele a1000 can't boot

[devfua]

Hi,
I'm a fresh man to mele a1000~


I follow the instrument :http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/hacking_the_mele_a1000/Building_Debian_From_Source_Code_for_Mele/


but failed, nothing happend when I plug in the SD card,


I found a patch from: https://github.com/cnxsoft/a10-config/blob/master/patch/u-boot-rootwait.patch


still not work.




here is my environment:


Linux dev 3.2.0-27-generic-pae #43-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 6 15:06:05 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
gcc version 4.4.7 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.7-1ubuntu2) 


I got uboot from: https://github.com/hno/uboot-allwinner
tried branch: sun4i/v2011.09-sun4i


neither of them works.




Could anyone give a guide ? Thanks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also tried to use ready-made uboot.
down load mele-ubuntu-lucid.img and use


dd if=mele-ubuntu-lucid.img of=uboot_mele_mmc.bin bs=1024 skip=8 count=1008
dd if=uboot_mele_mmc.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8


but keep getting:




U-Boot SPL 2011.09-rc1-00055-g4d29a5d-dirty (Mar 01 2012 - 16:05:47)
MMC:   SUNXI SD/MMC: 0
spl: mmc init failed: err - -1


### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###




What does it mean?   Thanks~
