Quotegnexus is going to include the uboot and sata patch in his next release. The NAND version has a preliminary patch for the issue using guillaume's/hipboi's fix.

This thread is for the NAND version. No SPL. I changed thread title to reflect that. I thought you were using NAND version for all those Mele's? Please don't tell me you have an MMC in each one!by gnexus - Allwinner A10
THANKS! Currently I'm adding the NAND Linux support to the MMC version. It works for me, but it would be nice to have other testers to hopefully locate any possible bugs. I used your DDR timing patch on the NAND version. But hno has further timing updates for uboot-allwinner that I plan to add to the final versions. Quotewifi ? nfc Mele does not have NFC.

@guillaume You are one that requested this. So maybe you can test on one of your 32? It can't hurt to take one out of service for a few mins. to help improve the platform. I really need feedback. I don't like being the only tester. . .by gnexus - Allwinner A10
Thanks for your comments! SATA seems to work well for me now on the Mele. But still not as fast as the Dockstar.

The new u-boot-multi NAND version has support for booting Linux from NAND, and it will also have the memory timing fixes needed to boot problematic devices such as Mele 1.7 and others. Edit: The timing change was reverted, as, contrary to info from guillame, it is only needed for MMC SPL. That is what hno said anyway. I have no way to test. So YMMV. . .

Thank you very much for image 1. I had not seen that information elsewhere. I already had the pinouts in image 2.

QuoteIt's interesting to see a 3-4s difference with mine in this single simple mono limited benchmark. Gnexus, What is your context to get 16s ? Is it the vanilla kernel compile flags and is it a classic arm rootfs (not armhf) ? It is a Debian armhf with 3.0.39+ a10linux kernel. Armhf probably is the reason for the difference if you are not using it. Armel runs faster in most scenarios.by gnexus - Allwinner A10

Sorry. I know you're trying to help. But, considering it took a very extensive amount of work for me to try and get the NAND working in uboot-allwinner before I finally gave up, I don't want people to think I'm using any of that code, and I will get highly upset, as you noticed, if people do.

QuoteThe u-boot / v1.7 issue solved by Tom was a clock PLL1 problem in u-boot. PLL1 is the core PLL. I already know all that from the prior posts. . . What I was noting is that the clock PLL initialization is mostly done in the SPL, and not in the main u-boot binary itself. So it may be possible to use the patched SPL with the existing u-boot, or vice-versa. There are two parts to the MMby gnexus - Allwinner A10
