[R3mini] uboot getting ethernet/nvme to work

Banana Pi Router design BPI-R3/R3 Mini(MT7986)
21

written firmware successful to boot1…also found a nice guide from daniel here just used usb to transfer the files and used original files without concatenating before

usb start
mmc partconf 0 1 2 2
mmc erase 0x0 0x120
load usb 0:1 $loadaddr EthMD32.dm.bin
mmc write $loadaddr 0x0 0x20
load usb 0:1 $loadaddr EthMD32.DSP.bin
mmc write $loadaddr 0x20 0x100
mmc partconf 0 1 1 0

but have not tested it as i need to patch out my builtin-firmware before

Any news regarding the nvme support?

23

My uboot has nvme support for r3(mini) and r4 and sent patch to uboot mailinglist…no comment yet

Only got info that mt7981 was not yet working

24

Do we have any plans to do uboot upstream for en8811 phy? @ericwoud

25

Wish I had the time for it… So I won’t be doing that.

@frank-w did some work on that, but I do not know the state of it.

I used the openwrt driver,cleaned it a bit and “fixed” the working-once-issue and added the builtin-firmware (which cannot be added upstream). So basicly working,but no time for upstreaming yet. We need to switch to of_upstream (let uboot use linux dts) to upstream the filogic pci driver port from john.

this is what i currently work on…
