LS1046ARDB KIT

[IB2020]

How to store file/folder in EMMC flash of LS1046ARDB Kit and how to access it on next power on?

[yipingwang]

Please refer to the following procedure to write file to MMC card in Linux.

Partition the mmc card with fdisk

$ fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

$ fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

$ mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1

$ mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/

$ cp -r test_file /mnt/

Please note you could use scp command to copy your file to the target board.

Please refer to the following to access file in MMC under u-boot.

=> ext2load <interface> [<dev[:part]> [<addr> [<filename> [bytes [pos]]]]]

For example:

=> ext2load mmc 0:1 0xa0000000 test_file

[IB2020]

Thank you for the reply. But I couldn't access mmcblk0. No such file or directory was coming when i gave fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 command.

[yipingwang]

Please run "fdisk -l" on your target board.

[IB2020]

I have run that command and it is coming as in the attached text file.

You need to use RCW with emmc enabled.

Please specify rcw_qspi as the following to enable emmc in RCW file in configs/board/ls1043ardb/manifest in flex-builder.

rcw_qspi=$FBOUTDIR/firmware/rcw/ls1046ardb/RR_FFSSPPPH_1133_5559/rcw_1600_qspiboot_emmc.bin.swapped

Then run the following command "flex-builder -c atf -m ls1046ardb", you will regenerate flexbuild_lsdk2004/build/firmware/atf/ls1046ardb/bl2_qspi.pbl and fip_uboot.bin.

Please deploy them to bl2_qspi.pbl  at 0x00000000, bl2_qspi.pbl at 0x100000 on QSPI flash.

Then go to u-boot prompt to check whether it is is possible to get MMC information as the following.

> mmcinfo
Device: FSL_SDHC
Manufacturer ID: fe
OEM: 14e

Please check whether you could get the following message in Linux Kernel booting up log.

Thanks,

I deployed those files still mmcinfo is coming as device not found. Bootlog attached.

[yipingwang]

In file flexbuild_lsdk2004/configs/board/ls1046ardb/manifest, please modify rcw_qspi as the following.

rcw_qspi=$FBOUTDIR/firmware/rcw/ls1046ardb/RR_FFSSPPPH_1133_5559/rcw_1600_qspiboot_emmc.bin

Then rebuild atf with the following command

$ flex-builder -c atf -m ls1046ardb

You will get bl2_qspi.pbl and fip_uboot.bin in build/firmware/atf/ls1046ardb/ .

Please refer to the following command to deploy these two files to QSPI flash bank4.

Please go to QSPI vBank 0 and execute the following commands.

=> sf probe 0:1
=> tftp 0xa0000000 bl2_qspi.pbl
=> sf erase 0x0 +$filesize && sf write 0xa0000000 0x0 $filesize

=> tftp 0xa0000000 fip_uboot.bin
=> sf erase 0x100000 +$filesize && sf write 0xa0000000 0x100000 $filesize

Then execute the following command to go to bank4.

=> cpld reset altbank

[IB2020]

I tried this but still issue remains the same. No mmc card present is coming

[yipingwang]

I have verified my previously procedure, it works.

I attached my images for you.

Please refer to the following u-boot log.

=> cpld reset altbank

I am attaching the steps i did for loading pbl and bin as well as the  uboot log.

Have you noticed that the images which you are using is built on Apr  9 2020?

You could use images which I sent to you.

[IB2020]

I have used the files sent by you .But it is not getting updated.Even for the files which i have created also same issue.Is there anything wrong with the way i am flashing it to the qspi?

[yipingwang]

First please go to QSPI vBank0

Then execute the following commands.

=> sf probe 0:1
=> tftp 0xa0000000 bl2_qspi.pbl
=> sf erase 0x0 +$filesize && sf write 0xa0000000 0x0 $filesize

=> tftp 0xa0000000 fip_uboot.bin
=> sf erase 0x100000 +$filesize && sf write 0xa0000000 0x100000 $filesize

Then execute the following command to go to bank4.

=> cpld reset altbank

Note: you could get vbank information from u-boot console log.

If your problem remains, please capture your console log to me to do more investigation.

[IB2020]

Thank you so much for the reply. It worked. I was doing from bank4 .So it was not getting updated. I could write files to emmc flash also. "sync" command i gave after cp -r  to write to emmc flash. How to erase files in emmc and how to format emmc flash ?

[yipingwang]

You could format emmc in Linux as the following.

$ fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7.5 GiB, 8001683456 bytes, 15628288 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x5a5f34b3
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 15628287 15626240 7.5G 83 Linux

$ mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1

[IB2020]

Thank you for the reply. But if i want to delete a single folder without formatting emmc what is the command i should use?

[yipingwang]

Under Linux, execute the following command 

$ mount -t ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt

go to /mnt folder to remove the specified folder.

$ umount /mnt
