we have update BPI-R2 , please check it.
As this differs from eMMC string,how can we now check for bootsevice in uboot? Which address is set to which byte (i guess 0xea).this should work too if sd is available but boot from emmc
it looks like you read boot signature from first bytes (SDMMC_BOOT vs. EMMC_BOOT) of mmc-device…but how is this passed to uboot?
The uboot code doesn’t need to change, just like before

Thank you, we will try this one: https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-files/blob/master/SD/100MB/BPI-R2-EMMC-boot0-DDR1600-20191024-0k.img.gz
@LeXa2 can you try it too?
edit:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk1boot0/force_ro
gunzip -c BPI-R2-EMMC-boot0-DDR1600-20191024-0k.img.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk1boot0 bs=1024 seek=0
seems to work well:
BPI-R2> md.b 0x81dffff0 4
81dffff0: 65 4d 4d 43 eMMC
i can also load bigger uboot (2020-01 with ahci-support, so it looks good so far)

Sure will do, but not today - in a middle of house move right now. Probably would be able to test it on Friday.
Have you tested it? From my PoV it looks good
Nice question, I would like to know deeply. Please clear it.
Hello Frank-w,
Currently I can not boot u-boot from SD. it have the same problem. But I can boot u-boot completely from eMMC after following your instruction My preloader for SD: preloader_iotg7623Np1_sd_1333M.bin and my preloader for emmc is BPI-R2-EMMC-boot0-DDR1600-20190722-0k.img.gz U-boot version: https://github.com/frank-w/u-boot.git
Can you suggest to me some step to fix this issue ?
Thank so much
which issue do you have?? SD or eMMC? my repo contains multiple uboot-versions…whch one do you use?
Currently I can not boot u-boot from SD but can boot u-boot from eMMC my u-boot that i use: 2019-07-bpi-r2
then just use the 20190722 preloader for SD-Card instead of your old one
these both should be for SD:
for emmc you should use this one
because only this has extended memory-range for uboot and the emmc-flag

OK. Thank you so much I will flash preloader again
And do you have source code of preloader ? Can you share me ? Thanks
preloader is closed source, for the memory-expansion (to load bigger uboot) and the emmc-flag we needed vendor-support
