LS1046afrwy-Failed-to-mount-UBIFS/

[williawh]

With regards to:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/T-Series/T1040RDB-Failed-to-mount-UBIFS/m-p/398737#M113%22

I can successfully do everything in this post except for this last little bit (the most important part):

4. Please check ubi rootfs bootarts

=>setenv bootargs ubi.mtd=<MTD_num>  root=ubi0_0 rw rootfstype=ubifs  console=ttyS0,115200 init=/init

=>tftpboot $loadaddr uImage-ubi.bin

=>tftpboot $fdtaddr l  <dtb_file>

=>bootm $loadaddr - $fdtaddr

Is it possible that the compiled kernel is somehow overwriting my bootargs and just booting a "tmpfs" (initramfs)

I'm currently using a kernel initramfs image - but can't seem to build a ubi specific kernel image

Please refer to the following example on LS1043ARDB.

Please build Linux Kernel Image with CONFIG_MTD_UBI=y.

Boot the target board with the following Kernel command line.

Kernel command line: root=/dev/mmcblk0p4 rw rootdelay=10 console=ttyS0,115200 ramdisk_size=0x10000000 mtdparts=60000000.nor:1m(nor_bank0_rcw),2m(nor_bank0_uboot),13m(nor_bank0_uboot_env),48m(nor_bank0_itb),1m(nor_bank4_rcw),2m(nor_bank4_uboot),13m(nor_bank4_uboot_env),48m(nor_Usertest);7e800000.flash:1m(nand_uboot),1m(nand_uboot_env),60m(nand_Usertest);spi0.0:1m(uboot),5m(kernel),1m(dtb),9m(dspi_Usertest)

In Linux, do the following operation to deploy ubi rootfs.

root@localhost:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_MTD_UBI=y
CONFIG_MTD_UBI=y

root@localhost:~# mtdinfo /dev/mtd10

Sub-page size: 2048 bytes

root@localhost:~# flash_erase /dev/mtd10 0 0

root@localhost:~# ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 10

root@localhost:~# cat /sys/class/ubi/ubi0/max_vol_count
128

root@localhost:~# ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -S 128

root@localhost:~# mount -t ubifs ubi0_0 /tmp

root@localhost:~# cp rootfs.tgz /tmp

root@localhost:~# cd /tmp

root@localhost:~# tar -xzvf rootfs.tgz

Reboot the target board, in u-boot configure bootargs as the following.

=> setenv bootargs ubi.mtd=10 root=ubi0_0 rw rootfstype=ubifs rootdelay=10 console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=60000000.nor:1m(nor_bank0_rcw),2m(nor_bank0_uboot),13m(nor_bank0_uboot_env),48m(nor_bank0_itb),1m(nor_bank4_rcw),2m(nor_bank4_uboot),13m(nor_bank4_uboot_env),48m(nor_Usertest)\;7e800000.flash:1m(nand_uboot),1m(nand_uboot_env),60m(nand_Usertest)\;spi0.0:1m(uboot),5m(kernel),1m(dtb),9m(dspi_Usertest)
