LS1043ARDB Fman on SD-CARD

[olegkholupov]

I have successfully build core image and made bootable SD-card, but can't get access to eth devices.

If I understand correctly from ls1043a manual:

1. first 2056 sectors of SD card must be remained for u-boot image. After "dd if=u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin of=/dev/sdb seek=8 bs=512" u-boot will be written to sd-card.

2. After writing u-boot, I need to write "fsl_fman_ucode_t2080_r1.0_106_4_15.bin" to sd-card to get access to eth, but I don't know which offset should I use to write this microcode.

Without fman-code, I get the following output during boot:

The board boots OK, but Ethernet is not accessible.

How should I write "fsl_fman_ucode_t2080_r1.0_106_4_15.bin" on SD-card to get access to Ethernet?

Thank you in advance!

1. write fman microcode to SD-card root

2. boot from SD-card

3. write fman microcode to NOR flash
