LS1088ardb eMMC enabling

[zeroqruel]

Hello experts,

I have a custom board with ls1088ardb processor.  The only difference from the reference design is that I have 128GB eMMC storage instead of 4GB eMMC. I successfully boot u-boot from SD Card or QSPI. After the kernel is up, I want to use the eMMC volume as storage/database. But the eMMC volume is not loaded while loading the kernel. 

The error I get is: /dev/mmcblk0p1: Can't open blockdev 

Do I need to add/edit anything in dts to use eMMC volume as storage/database in userspace? Or do I need to do anything in rcw files? 

My dts is like;

&esdhc {
status = "okay";
non-removable;
compatible = "fsl,ls1088a-esdhc", "fsl,esdhc";
bus-width = <4>;
};

I have been waiting for an answer for a long time. Can you support me? It's urgent.

Hello,

If you take a look on the LS1088ARDB, there is a mux to select if the SDHC interface is active with the SD card OR the emmc, but you can't use both at the same time due to voltage and pins restrictions.

Please refer to the description in Page 46 of the RM: Some special features of the SDHC interface are:

Hello @Oswalag 

Thank you for reply. I set u-boot to open via SD or NOR(QSPI) according to rcw configuration with switch. When u-boot opens via NOR, eMMC mux is activated by CPLD. I have successfully activated eMMC but it is started as 4 buses every time. I get pinstate error while opening u-boot.

After opening the kernel I get the error "bus width 8 failed".

My definitions for emmc in dts and dtsi files are as follows;

dts;
&esdhc {
	status = "okay";
	compatible = "fsl,ls1088a-esdhc", "fsl,esdhc";
	non-removable;
	bus-width = <8>;
};

dtsi; (changed bus width to 8)
		esdhc: esdhc@2140000 {
			compatible = "fsl,ls1088a-esdhc", "fsl,esdhc";
			reg = <0x0 0x2140000 0x0 0x10000>;
			interrupts = <0 28 0x4>; /* Level high type */
			clock-frequency = <0>;
			voltage-ranges = <1800 1800 3300 3300>;
			sdhci,auto-cmd12;
			little-endian;
			bus-width = <8>;
			status = "okay";
		};

I want to run emmc as 8 bus width. I have seen parameters like pinctrl-names, pinctrl-0, vmmc-supply, mmc-hs200-1_8v but I always got a compilation error in a few dts attempts. Especially when I defined "mmc-hs200-1_8v", I saw that emmc was not loaded in the kernel at all and I got an error. Are there any parameters that I definitely need to add among these parameters? Can you give an example? What is the reason why emmc does not work with 8 bus width? Are there any parts that you see as missing or incorrect? 

Note: I added the picture of the processor's SD, eMMC and CPLD connections.

I solved the problem. In the RCW file, it was necessary to activate the function for emmc from the SPI_PCS pin settings.
