No uboot usb-boot support

[mangelajo]

I was trying to integrate the visionfive 2 with a project I am working on (jumpstarter) that helps put boards like this in CI and test the software/kernel/board integration etc

But the compiled uboot does not have USB support.

Is it realistic to count on uboot USB support eventually or is it too complicated?

According to this page https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan it's "planned".

Ethernet over USB is also not working. The complete USB subsystem is lacking on the current kernel. Also the nftables firewall is not starting either. I hope that is planned too...

You could try mine "upstream" u-boot with support for USB, see here https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2/issues/72

EDIT: Nevermind, it doesn't work

Did you figure out what's on the PC where the crash happens? may be we can figure out and fix it

Not sure what you mean. I've opened a new issue regarding usb-boot: https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2/issues/80

please starfive-tech can we get USB boot prioritized?

[MichaelZhuxx]

the tag v3.4.5 of u-boot has support usb host function

Oh nice I also see https://github.com/starfive-tech/VisionFive2/releases/tag/VF2_v3.8.2 mentions USB, I will give it a try and report back.

Nice I see the usb stack works and we can list USB devices, and read blocks.

Can we add USB to the boot script?
