It does not hurt to do it twice, providing there is a long enough time period between the 2. But only once is necessary.

In this case, the scandisk does it the 1st time, the bootcmd_uenv does it again.

This was intentional, since users could choose to remove the bootcmd_uenv to make it boot faster, if uEnv.txt is not needed.

All you need is to set the devices env, don't need to change other envs.

setenv devices 'ide usb mmc'

Just wondered why Reset IDE is performed twice... also why do I get CACHE: Misaligned operation at range?

If I want to set my boot priority to IDE, USB, MMC do I need to change uenv_init_devices?

Re: /boot/uEnv.txt ignored

bodhi — Sat, 30 Mar 2019 01:18:33 -0500

balanga,

The uEnv.xt on the HDD /boot folder should have this content:

bootfile=ubldr
kernel_addr_r=0x01000000
loadaddr=0x02000000
bootcmd_bsd=ext2load ide 0:1 ${loadaddr} ${bootfile} && bootelf ${loadaddr}

Power up, interrupt serial console and execute:

setenv uenv_init_devices 'echo Initializing devices...; setenv init_usb "usb start";  setenv init_ide "ide reset";  setenv init_mmc "mmc rescan"; for devtype in $devices; do run init_$devtype; done'
setenv uenv_read 'echo Loading envs from $device_type $disk_number...; if load $device_type  $disk_number:1 $uenv_addr /boot/uEnv.txt; then setenv uenv_loaded 1; echo ... envs loaded; fi'
setenv uenv_load 'run uenv_init_devices; setenv uenv_loaded 0; for devtype in $devices; do for disknum in $disks; do if test $uenv_loaded -eq 0; then setenv device_type $devtype; setenv disk_number $disknum; run uenv_read; fi; done; done;'
setenv uenv_read_disk

and then

boot

After verifying that it is working as intended, login to Debian and set them permanently:

fw_setenv uenv_init_devices 'echo Initializing devices...; setenv init_usb "usb start";  setenv init_ide "ide reset";  setenv init_mmc "mmc rescan"; for devtype in $devices; do run init_$devtype; done'
fw_setenv uenv_read 'echo Loading envs from $device_type $disk_number...; if load $device_type  $disk_number:1 $uenv_addr /boot/uEnv.txt; then setenv uenv_loaded 1; echo ... envs loaded; fi'
fw_setenv uenv_load 'run uenv_init_devices; setenv uenv_loaded 0; for devtype in $devices; do for disknum in $disks; do if test $uenv_loaded -eq 0; then setenv device_type $devtype; setenv disk_number $disknum; run uenv_read; fi; done; done;'
fw_setenv uenv_read_disk

Re: /boot/uEnv.txt ignored

bodhi — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 02:35:34 -0500

Looks like there are a couple reasons.

1. There was some changes in U-Boot hush parser between 2016.05 and 2017.07 u-boot, that I have been unaware of.
2. There is a bug in 2017.07 u-boot regarding "ide" command.

Number 1 is easy, I can fix the envs to get it work the way the u-boot 2017.07 expected. I should fix this problem regardless, since the envs were not coded defensively enough.

For number 2, I am a a little bit uncertain, I have to do some tests to see what is the best approach to work around this.

That's not how we troubleshoot some problems. Ask and answer :) if there is no answer, I have no way to know what was the result. Even the answer is: "no, it did not work and the result is the same" would be helpful.

A lot info from the log with the changed envs (what the log did not show were what I wanted to see).

I'll run some test in one of my Kirkwood boxes to see what I can tell.

Re: /boot/uEnv.txt ignored

balanga — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 04:28:38 -0500

bodhi,

I did exactly as what you suggested but the outcome was the same so didn't see any sense in posting the same log as before and wanted to see if I could get uBoot to read uEnv.txt which I did by running the various functions in logical order separately, but I will post the output from the changes you suggested, although I don't know what you will glean from it.

It continues trying to boot Linux and I can post that if you want.

My previous posting was to show that I could get FreeBSD's loader loaded just setting

setenv devices ide

and running the different functions in logical order, thereby bypassing some of the conditions which determine if a function should run or not.

balanga,

I know some improvement is needed in SATA part of the default envs.

That’s what I tried to find out in your particular system configuration.

But you have a really bad habit of not doing what I asked you to do :) I can’t help you if you dont provide the info I ask for.

I think there is a problem in the logic flow. Here is a log which ended up launching FreeBSD's loader:-

bodhi,

I don't think /boot/uEnv.txt is being read when booting from hard disk, irrespective of the contents. Here's is an edited boot log when booting up Debian from a USB stick, showing the contents of the hard disk:-

balanga,

I could not read the log, please repost the log without all the control characters.

And make sure the content of the uEnv.tx is exactly (no more no less):

bootfile=ubldr
kernel_addr_r=0x01000000
loadaddr=0x02000000
bootcmd_bsd=ext2load ide 0:1 ${loadaddr} ${bootfile} && bootelf ${loadaddr}

Make sure the /boot/uEnv.txt file is on partition 1 of the HDD.

IOW, on partition 1, there must be a /boot folder and the uEnv.txt is in that folder.

Change uEnv.xt to have this content:

bootfile=ubldr
kernel_addr_r=0x01000000
loadaddr=0x02000000
bootcmd_bsd=ext2load ide 0:1 ${loadaddr} ${bootfile} && bootelf ${loadaddr}

Power up interrupt serial console and

setenv devices ide
setenv bootdev ide
boot

I realise that bootcmd_bsd includes usb start which would be in error, but uBoot does not even seem to find bootcmd_bsd, so to me it looks like uEnv.txt has not been found/read.

Just before running 'run bootcmd_uenv', try setting the devices to ide only:

setenv devices ide
run bootcmd_uenv

Re: /boot/uEnv.txt ignored

balanga — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 20:42:34 -0500

I'm trying to boot from a 350GB HD in the SATA slot on a GoFlex Home unit and I can get uboot to read /boot/uEnv.txt.

Do I need to make any changes to my envars?

balanga,

I have answered this question before:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,80444,80539#msg-80539

Basically, you can not redefine bootcmd and bootcmd_uenv using uEnv.txt. So define a bootcmd_bsd that piggy back to the default bootcmd like I suggested above.

Actually you could, but I purposely exclude them in the current default envs (to ensure that users mistakes in setting envs wont lock them out of the box).

Re: /boot/uEnv.txt ignored

balanga — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 19:27:48 -0500

bodhi,

I'm really struggling to get uboot to take any notice of my /boot/uEnv.txt.

If I enter the following at the following, (which is also the contents of my /boot/uEnv.txt) at the stop autoboot prompt:-

setenv bootfile ubldr
setenv kernel_addr_r 0x01000000
setenv loadaddr 0x02000000
setenv bootcmd 'usb start; fatload usb 0:1 ${loadaddr} ${bootfile} && bootelf ${loadaddr}'

FreeBSD actually starts booting:-

What should I do to make uBoot set the above variables from the file?

Is there any way to include 'printenv' in uEnv.txt so that envars are displayed during the boot process?

Right. For example, these envs are transient. They are created on the fly during booting. But when you list them after executing some commands, they appear on the list.

fileaddr=810000
filesize=11f
init_ide=ide reset
init_mmc=mmc rescan
init_usb=usb start

So to get a real set of permananent envs, it should be listed in Linux with fw_printenv. And then you woud compare them with my env text file in the u-boot release tarball (uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment) to see what are the differences. And envs that you did not purposely saved (i.e for LEDE, Arch) are not needed to be saved.

I hope to do that at some point. I've made a lot of mistakes over the last 18 months since I started with this and maybe some of my posts have helped people avoid them but, I still have much to learn. I'd like to hone these u-boot envs, since I don't understand a number and would rather remove them if not required.

Cool!

At one point, you should post your u-boot envs setup that boot these 3 distros here. Probably in a new thread, so that it will help others who are looking for clues how to set it up such an environment.

Re: /boot/uEnv.txt ignored

balanga — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 19:28:43 -0500

bodhi,

Many thanks for the help. I can now boot Debian, Arch Linux and OpenWrt on my GoFlex Home using the same uBoot.

I'll spend a bit of time trying to get FreeBSD booting as well.

Your help in flattening the learning curve of getting familiar with the system is much appreciated.

Re: /boot/uEnv.txt ignored

bodhi — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 17:02:07 -0500

Yes. They were read in OK.

fatdev=usb 0:1
loaderdev=usb 0:1
bootfile=ubldr
fdtfile=db88f6281.dtb
kernel_addr_r=0x01000000
loadaddr=0x02000000
pxefile_addr_r=0x00100000
ramdisk_addr_r=0x02100000
scriptaddr=0x00000000
bootcmd=usb start;fdt addr 0x100;fatload ${fatdev} ${loadaddr} ${bootfile} && bootelf ${loadaddr}

bootfile=ubldr
....
bootcmd=usb start;fdt addr 0x100;fatload ${fatdev} ${loadaddr} ${bootfile} && bootelf ${loadaddr}

And so on.

However, that bootcmd in uEnv.txt will be ignored when you boot automatically. So you need something like this:

bootcmd_bsd=usb start;fdt addr 0x100;fatload ${fatdev} ${loadaddr} ${bootfile} && bootelf ${loadaddr}

And set this permanently (similar to when you set up LEDE)

setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run bootcmd_bsd; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; run bootcmd_lede'

So BSD, Debian, and LEDE will be tried in that order. Whichever command is successful (i.e. completed) first, will be the running system.

One day I will have to sit down and study what all these envs do. At the moment it seems like black magic :)

But I see from the above that

bootfile=ubldr

has been set so that the envs have been amended.
