uboot doesn't working the same way in serial downloader and emmc boot mode

ambroisealgrin — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 15:47:26 GMT

Hi,

I'm working on an iMX6 solo X (ref.: MCIMX6X1CVO08AB), we have an eMMC on SD4.

The problem is :

when downloading uboot with serial downloader, it starts normally and i'm able to flash the eMMC throught ethernet. Then i can boot linux (which is in eMMC) and everything is okay.

But when i change boot mode to start directly from eMMC, uboot is starting, but he can't find the MMC device, so he can't load the kernel. All the "mmc" command return nothing.

The two uboot use are the same, version U-Boot 2015.04-00136-g9c60985 (Dec 10 2015 - 16:31:08)

At uboot stats up, i have this logs :

when booting from ram, the eMMC debugs info are :

CMD_SEND:0

** Bad device mmc 0 **

WARN: Cannot load the Kernel

Apparently, the eMMC hasn't the same answer in both case, and i don't figure out why. Any idea ?

Thanks,

Hi ambroisealgrin

seems eMMC should be referenced as root=/dev/mmcblk3p2, following attached Linux

Guide sect.4.4.1.2 Using eMMC4.4 on SDHC4.

For eMMC programming one can use MFG Tools mfgtool2-yocto-mx-sabresd-emmc.vbs

script:

Programmers (Flash, etc.) (3)

IMX_L3.14.38-6UL_MFG_TOOL (REV L3.14.38_6ul)

Hi igorpadykov,

The version of uboot used was from denx, we switch to the official freescale version and it's now working well.

The problem were in the init of the eMMC in uboot, it was something like uboot try to speak to eMMC in 1bit mode when eMMC was configured in 8bits mode. We don't investigate more.

Thanks for your answer

Here is a patch for mainline u-boot frompengfan .

He didn't have the board to test the patch but he

seems to think it would work.

He wrote :

"Please try whether the attached patch can fix you issue or not. I do not have such a board to test."

Give it a try if you prefer.

Hope this helps.
