Currently it looks like that:

@moore can you please look, which clock assigned to GPT on MT7622? Not value, but ID and parent plz. Also, looks like, stated in doc 13MHz a bit wrong. At least board do about 12 sec on sleep 10.

armv8 timer not used yet.

thank you for your great work so far.

do you also create a u-boot-mtk-file? because this is needed to write to sd-card

for tftp/go u-boot.bin is enough

have not yet get it compiled with crosscompiler

export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
make mt7622_bpir64_efi_defconfig
make menuconfig
make

…

CC      lib/asm-offsets.s
cc1: error: unknown value 'generic-armv7-a' for -mtune

or do you still compile for 32-bit armhf? there it works and creates u-boot-mtk.bin

edit: have successfully loaded it via tftp:

nice work, waiting for network

if anyone wants to try it (without flashing sdcard):

BPI-IoT> setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.19
BPI-IoT> setenv serverip 192.168.0.10
BPI-IoT> setenv ufile u-boot-r64-2019-10.bin
BPI-IoT> setenv uaddr 0x41E00000
BPI-IoT> setenv umtkaddr 0x41dffe00
BPI-IoT> tftp ${umtkaddr} ${ufile}
BPI-IoT> go $uaddr

@ray mmc seems to be swapped (0=sd-card) or is it because emmc does not work

ray · October 22, 2019, 1:43pm

yup, 32bit

moore · October 23, 2019, 1:32am

It should be 12.5Mhz, thanks.

ray · October 23, 2019, 6:20am

Thanks!

Should I bind it to dummy clock?

Or parent and Id known and you can give it to me?

frank-w · November 1, 2019, 2:01pm

@moore can you help with network-support? and see question of ray before

ray · November 3, 2019, 12:12am

eMMC/SD works fine. Environment loaded.

Code updated.

SATA works too, but small organizational issue should be resolved.

frank-w · November 3, 2019, 8:17pm

Emmc seems to work only if pre-initialized (e.g. by previous loaded uboot or by booting from emmc). if booting directly from sd it does not work.

If anybody has an idea…

moore · November 4, 2019, 3:39am

Now, we’re also developing mt7622 upstream uboot, and will share our patches with you in these two days.

Ethernet: todo
PCIe/USB: ongoing

We’ll use mt7629 as target platform first because it has uboot usptream already with similar IP.

frank-w · November 4, 2019, 11:19am

have you emmc-access ready? Is it also working if booting from sdcard?

Can you share this patch (maybe pinctrl/timer)?

ray · November 4, 2019, 1:03pm

@moore can you please give us difference on things preloader initialized to boot form eMMC and from SD.

Because we have it worked when first uboot started from eMMC and not worked when from SD.

Boot src      eMMC status     SD status
eMMC             works            works
SD                 no             works

So for case it boot from SD something (clk, pinctrl, power, etc) did not initialized, so eMMC won’t work. But we can’t catch yet, what is it.

Thanks.

ray · November 4, 2019, 1:04pm

@frank-w did you try to boot linux from SD (both uboot and linux from SD) and check if eMMC accessible?

frank-w · November 4, 2019, 2:03pm

have not get managed it…copied kernel+dtb (which i load from my older uboot) to root of sd-card and did this:

I asked: if you boot board to uboot from SD, then load kernel from SD, do running linux has access to eMMC?

frank-w · November 4, 2019, 9:56pm

If i use old uboot:yes…see the hd on boot0 output. New uboot hangs on kernel load

ray · November 4, 2019, 10:43pm

Ok, thanks.

Which tree used to build that kernel?

frank-w · November 4, 2019, 11:23pm

It should be 5.4-r64-rc (as it was on rc1)…why is this important?

I can send you the binaries if needed

frank-w · November 5, 2019, 6:26pm

for the not loading kernel (which was loaded from sd-card correctly) i guess it is a problem with loading ATF (missing offset/config-option)…if i load kernel with old uboot i see this:
