U-Boot reboots after "usb start" on x96 mini #4

Open probonopd opened 4 years ago

probonopd commented 4 years ago

Hi @hexdump0815, thanks for pointing me to https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/blob/master/boot/boot-amlogic_gx-aarch64/u-boot.bin on IRC.

I can successfully chainload this U-Boot build, but trying to use usb start with a USB storage device attached leads to a reboot on the x96 mini:

gxl_p281_v1#fatload mmc 0 0x01000000 u-boot.ext

Without a USB storage device attached it works:

=> usb start

USB0:   Register 2000140 NbrPorts 2
Starting the controller
USB XHCI 1.00
scanning bus 0 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
       scanning usb for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s) found

If I then attach the USB storage device and usb reset, then I am back to the original issue.

Do you have any idea what may be causing this or how to debug it?

Thank you very much.

Different result when attaching the storage device to the other USB port:

=> usb start
starting USB...
USB0:   Register 2000140 NbrPorts 2

i guess this is expecting too much from a chainloaded u-boot ... for such low level stuff to work you'll have to adapt the mainline u-boot to be built with a dts matching your hardware exactly ... you may try to build the different gxl u-boots and see if any of their u-boot.bin will work for you

good luck and best wishes - hexdump

Thanks @hexdump0815

you'll have to adapt the mainline u-boot to be built with a dts matching your hardware exactly

Do you know where I can learn about how exactly to do that?

hexdump0815 commented 4 years ago

i think there is no single ressource to learn that from - its a long learning and a lot of trial and error and sometimes its impossible because one does not really know how a certain hardware exactly works ...

hexdump0815 commented 4 years ago

btw. did you try to run the "usb start" on the legacy u-boot before the chainloading?

probonopd commented 4 years ago

No, I didn't do that. Will see whether doing this will make a difference.

probonopd commented 4 years ago

Indeed @hexdump0815 it works (as in: recognizes USB mass storage device without crashing) when I run usb start before and after chainloading. Does this mean that some (which?) aspects of the stock U-Boot need to be carried over/compiled into the new one?

probonopd commented 4 years ago

run usb_boot will not boot an openSUSE aarch64 Live ISO dd'ed to the USB mass storage device though:

It seems that this bootloader cannot handle ISO9660 which is needed to boot openSUSE aarch64 Live ISOs?

hexdump0815 commented 4 years ago

maybe rebuild the chainloaded u-boot with iso fs enabled - i trhink mine was a libretech potato u-boot without any changes built from mainline u-boot

probonopd commented 4 years ago

Thanks, it looks like https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/hardware:boot/u-boot:libretech-cc/openSUSE_Factory_ARM can be used (although it has the same USB mass storage issue).

How did you find out that 0x01000000 must be used instead of ${loadaddr}?

hexdump0815 commented 4 years ago

if i remember correctly it was either from the amlogic irc or trail and error
