/boot/uEnv.txt ignored

I'll post it again if you like, but do you want me to include the section after Starting kernel ... ?

balanga,

Thanks but no needed! I can see where it possibly went wrong now.

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.

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

bodhi,

That works fine.

Thanks for your efforts.

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?

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'
