You will need to wait a while, perhaps 10 seconds, before the debug handshake finally timed out. This does not happen right away. Basically, the box received the debug message, and then waits for more data, and eventually timed out, and execute stock u-boot in NAND).

This never failed to run for me:

For ARM32 kwboot: 
./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -d

It seems that I'm not alone with this issue: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,35995,36092,quote=1#REPLY
But the only conclusion I can do from this is that it's not >2TB HDD size issue because I have old 250GB WD HDD (WD2500AAKS).

kekeke,

> 250GB WD HDD (WD2500AAKS).

That could be it. I have tested a few different HDDs on this box, and they don't always initialize correctly. Certain HDD will initialize upon power up, but randomly failed to initiialize upon warm reboot.

So it is not what you doing is wrong. This stock u-boot is quite flaky with HDDs. I am looking for way to force it to initialze the disks reliably.

I'd like you to try this test.

Power up, interrupt serial console and

mw.l f1018100 20420000
mw.l f1018140 003ca800
sleep 5
scsi init
scsi init
scsi init

Repeat the "scsi init" a few times like that. See if eventually it will be initialized.

kekeke,

If it hangs, insert this disk to the 2nd slot and try again.

kekeke,

Let's try this

mw.l f1018100 20420000
mw.l f1018140 003ca800
scsi reset

To summarize: I tried what you suggested above, but it didn't help. Anyway, thank you, I will wait for the news!

kekeke,

Did you try power up like heiko did (instead of rebooting only):
