Linux kernel eMMC configuration on iMX8mp custom board

Alex2022 — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 06:52:48 GMT

Hi there,

I am trying to create a Linux image using Yocto for a custom board based on NXP i.MX8MPlus LPDDR4 EVK board. The main difference is that on usdhc1 I have another eMMC (as far as I know, on the EVK board there is an SD on usdhc2 and an eMMC on usdhc3).

On .dtsi I changed from

&usdhc1 {
u-boot,dm-spl;
};

To a modified file with:

&usdhc1 {
u-boot,dm-spl;
mmc-hs400-1_8v;
mmc-hs400-enhanced-strobe;
};

And on .dts file added

&usdhc1 {
assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_USDHC1>;
assigned-clock-rates = <400000000>;
pinctrl-names = "default", "state_100mhz", "state_200mhz";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_usdhc1>;
pinctrl-1 = <&pinctrl_usdhc1_100mhz>;
pinctrl-2 = <&pinctrl_usdhc1_200mhz>;
bus-width = <8>;
non-removable;
status = "okay";
};

And also:

pinctrl_usdhc1: usdhc1grp {
fsl,pins = <

};

Aftar that modification I was able to launch uboot, but it does not recognize eMMC devices on the uboot enviroment.

u-boot=> mmc dev 2
unable to select a mode
u-boot=> mmc dev 0
Card did not respond to voltage select!

It does recognize the SD card, where the Linux image is. It starts launching but when it tries to access mmc it fails.

I attach kernel launching traces, for the EVK board (whick works) and for my custom board, if it can help.

Is there anything else I have to modify on Yocto files so I can access eMMC on my board?

Thanks in advance,
