Default SSID is DLinkRouter
I can see \'franklin\' on your picture.
Did you edit vars.sh ?

OK, I can see a wireless interface. It can send and receive packets.  Very nice.
The next step is to configure your router
to create a correct  wireless network. Please look at the picture ( below). Note, your wireless network has to use WEP

>  Do I copt the gadgetPC files to the flash drive and then add the mmarm9260 files?

no, you don\'t need to copy mmarm9260 files at  this stage.
Let\'s simplify everything because you have a serial console.
No needs to copy the mmarm9260 files to get a USB console.


Just format USB Flash drive to FAT32, then copy all files of GadgetPC release. Then, run LCP and edit vars.sh to match your configuration ( enable WiFi,  assign IP, etc.)

Then , boot and show Linux log
Also, try to execute ifconfig command when it reaches [root@GadgetPC /]

I can see the cause

> !!! ** Unable to read "gpcfs.gz" from usb 0:1 ** !!!
U-boot loader can\'t read the gpcfs.gz file from a USB Flash drive.

Please try to  check if you can read the file connecting the USB Flash drive to a PC USB host port.
Also, try to check  the USB Flash drive using standard Windows tools.

> USB:   scanning bus for devices... 4 USB Device(s) found
3 external USB devices are connected to the board.
1 internal device is a USB hub.
If the board is powered from a USB host port of your PC
it can cause problems because it can provide only 500mA.
As the 1st step please disconnect 2 devices ( leave only USB Flash drive) to see.

Please copy and paste  the log you can see on the serial connection.
Maybe your problem is NTPD server. The board tries to connect to Internet to get time. Try to disable that server
in vars.sh

yes, it is possible.
It is necessary to install the latest Mini-Max/ARM9 release
which is based on Linux 2.6.30.4
Please download and install http://www.bipom.com/files/mmarm9260e/mmarm9260e_setup.exe
Then copy all the files to USB Flash drive

It is necessary to install a driver on Win PC
http://www.bipom.com/support/gadgetpc/gserial.inf

GadgetPC will appear as a virtual COM port.
Then you can open any terminal program ( for example, hypertertminal)  to establish connection with Linux console

yes, you can send email to tech@bipom.com in Russian.

Please explain details of your setup.
How did you connect the RS232 converter board to GadgetPC ?
Maybe the best thing is to take pictures and email to tech@bipom.com.  Then I will be able to review them
to see what is wrong

You need the converter only to get started.
Because you will see all log messages.
Theoretically, if you are enough experienced you can manage that task ( Linux configuration, administration) without  a serial console.
For example, using telnet,putty, etc. over network connection.
To get started at the 1st time I recommend to use the converter. This is the simplest way to get access to Linux console even if the system is not configured correct.

SAM-BA will work only over USB.
We provide UART0 on the 8-pin connector.

> I need to install Debian and use a UVC camera on my project.

Please move incrementally. Try to start with ARM9 Linux release. It is much simpler.
If everything works you can try Debian.

In any case, the 1st step is  to see Loader messages on Hyperterminal window

You don\'t need SAM-BA at all.
Just run a hyperterminal ( 115200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, without hardware control)
