Debian on Chip PC LXD8941

Hi bodhi,

I've been thinking about that approach but I'm not sure it would work. If the SD card is removed and the device rebooted the bootargs will get overwritten to 'root=LABEL=rootfsSD' while it should remain 'root=LABEL=rootfsINT'.

No. Remember that you don't do any saveenv during the execution of the envs. Next boot, everything restarts in the sequence you have set and saved once.

Hi bodhi,

I guess overwritten was not the best choice of words. If I understand your proposed solution correctly the command 'run set_bootargs_sd' always gets executed before booting. This happens after 'run set_bootargs_int' so the bootargs always end up being set to the following value: console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfsSD rootdelay=10 ${mtdparts} earlyprintk=serial. This would be fine for booting from the SD card but is the incorrect label for booting the internal memory. That is why I've moved the command to the external script and placed it on the SD card such that it only gets loaded and executed if the SD card is present. However I may be missing something here so please let me know if I am misunderstanding your solution.

Koen

Koen,

setenv bootcmd 'run set_bootargs_int; run bootcmd_int; run set_bootargs_sd; run bootcmd_sd; run bootcmd_bootm'

In this bootcmd, the only things that could fail is bootcmd_int and bootcmd_sd before you get to bootcmd_bootm.

Basically the logic works like this

run set_bootargs_int;      #  set to internal therefore root=LABEL=rootfsINT
run bootcmd_int;             # when this fail it should proceed to run set_bootargs_sd

run set_bootargs_sd;     #  reset to SD  therefore root=LABEL=rootfsSD
run bootcmd_sd;            # when this fail it should proceed to run bootcmd_bootm which will fail

run bootcmd_bootm       # as this fails, the bahavior is depending on the box u-boot, it could reset, or hung.You need to test this.

Not sure if the sequence above is what you want. The rootfs label should be different for internal SD and external SD.

Hi bodhi,

the SD card can easily be replaced if it would ever get damaged so I am using that as the default option. The internal memory can't be replaced so that would be used as rescue / recovery system. So the two boot options are: boot from SD card if present otherwise fall back to booting the rescue system from internal memory. As far as I can see that is only possible by moving the 'run set_bootargs_sd' to a script on the SD card such that it only gets executed if the SD card is present.

If I run the following bootcmd the bootargs are always set to root=LABEL=rootfsSD so the device will boot OK from SD but will fail to boot the rescue system on the internal memory when no SD card is present.

setenv bootcmd 'run set_bootargs_int; run bootcmd_int; run set_bootargs_sd; run bootcmd_sd; run bootcmd_bootm'

If I change the order of the arguments around the opposite happens. The device will always have the bootargs set to root=LABEL=rootfsINT so booting the rescue system works but booting with an SD card in the device will fail.

setenv bootcmd 'run set_bootargs_sd; run bootcmd_sd; run set_bootargs_int; run bootcmd_int; run bootcmd_bootm'

Now by using the 1st option but moving 'run set_bootargs_sd' to a script on the SD card it will only get executed if the SD card is in the device.

So normal boot would successfully go through all 5 steps and since SD is later in the series than INT it will boot from SD.

Remove the SD card and the boot sequence can only successfully run steps 1,2 and 5 and the device will boot to the rescue system on the internal memory.

Ah, I've missed that 1st bootcmd_bootm. What we need is to short circuit it at the 1st bootcmd_bootm. Execution only continues if the bootm was unseccessful. It it is successful, then u-boot started the kernel and never return to this sequence for bootcmd_int.

So,

setenv bootcmd  'run set_bootargs_sd; run bootcmd_sd; run bootcmd_bootm; run set_bootargs_int; run bootcmd_int; run bootcmd_bootm;'

So what we really need to test is what will happen in the 1st bootcmd_bootm. If that bootm does not hang, and result in a normal error when SD card is not present, then u-boot will go to the next sequence.

Hi bodhi,

I've tried the approach with the additional 'run bootcmd_bootm' in the middle and the SD card removed. Unfortunately the device does not continue with step 4 but instead goes into stock recovery mode and tries to boot from the network. So I guess I'll stick to my script on the SD card approach which works as intended.

Koen,

I suspected that would be the result. The bootm tried to run with nothing on the memory since kernel was not loaded. I was hoping it would error out, but it does make sense that it caused a recovery with this customized u-boot.

I've got a similar device (LXD8541).
It's nearly the same ... CPU is running at 800 MHz.
As there is some time in the near future, and I'm working again on other devices.. this is a nice thing too..
I have a working Serial Console .. USB Stick and a SD Card .. what could possibly go wrong ? ;-)

Cool. ChipPC doesn't give much info about the device but I hope the info in this thread will help you to get started.

After playing around with some other devices ... let's boot this ...

I can list envs in Debian using the fw_env.config below. However I can only set envs using serial. Is there a way to be able to set envs from Debian?

Koen

root@debian:~# cat /etc/fw_env.config 
# MTD device name       Device offset   Env. size       Flash sector size       Number of sectors

/dev/mtd1 0x000000 0x010000

Koen,

You need another number for "Flash sector size". That should be 64K.

root@debian:~# cat /etc/fw_env.config

# MTD device name       Device offset   Env. size       Flash sector size       Number of sectors

/dev/mtd1 0x000000 0x010000 0x10000

Be very careful, save your current envs in some notepad. Because in the boot log, it shows a CRC message that migh be to indicate they use something other than standard. So if Debian fw_setenv CRC stores a different expected value, then it will wipe out your envs as stock u-boot is concerned. You would have to restore them in serial console, or worse, it might brick your box if stock u-boot was harded code in some way to check that and stop running.

Hi bodhi,

I've adjusted the fw_env.config file but can not modify envs from Debian. It does not really matter since I've got serial connection but I would like to understand why it is not possible. I've tried flash_unlock but this doesn't make a difference. Is it locked down in uboot by the manufacturer? Or do need to do a chmod on /dev/mtd1?

Koen

Hi Koen,

Let's summarize the current mtd info, and set a test variable.

I have a suspicion that our flash definition is not correct in DTS.

Let's try 4K erase size first.

OK. I'll look for this SPI chip again to see if we need to adjust the DTS. I did not think that 4k versus 64k was relevant for this, but just wanted to see the test.

Koen,

According to your stock u-boot log in the 1st post, the SPI chip is actually MX25L1605D.

SF: Detected MX25L1605D with page size 256, total 2097152 bytes

I'll change the DTS to that chip and will see what happen.

Hi bodhi,

the number on the chip says macronix MX25L1606E which corresponds with the current kernel dmesg. However you are correct that the stock kernel detects it differently.

Koen


stock:

[   27.165642] m25p80 spi0.0: mx25l1605d (2048 Kbytes)

current:

[    1.830166] m25p80 spi0.0: found mx25l1606e, expected sst25vf080b

Koen,

Autodection of the SPI chip is OK, providing that it matches what we expected. The new kernel apparently misidentified the chip type (I think I'd trust stock u-boot and kernel for the correct info).

Here is the new DTB attached.

Do anyone have the pin layout for this device, i am trying to connect via a ftdi ttl 3.3v cable to this device, but the terminal stays black all the the time.

i have tried reseting this device but the official reset method does not work..

thanks

Inside there is both a 4 pin and a 6 pin header. The 4 pin is the UART connection. With the power button towards you and the DVI connection away from you the connections are as follows: GND, TX, RX, VCC (from left to right).

Hi,

I'm new to the whole uBoot and dtb stuff, any short pointers how to use the right dtb?

I already tried to attach it to the zImage and converted it to an uImage, but the dtb doesn't seem to be found...

The error indicated that you did not have a DTB.

Post the log of how you prepared the uImage and list the files in folder /boot. Assuming this rootfs is mounted as /media/sdb1 on another Linux box,

ls -lart /media/sdb1/boot

I have the Chippc dtb in the dts folder.

That uImage does not seem to be the right size. Should be 4603789 bytes.
