LS1046A linux reboot issue

[Robbo76]

Hello!

We have a custom LS1046A design.

Currently we have an issue with rebooting in Linux. It does not work. It says it reboots but everything just halts when it tries to reset.

To make it more concrete I did these two things:

U-Boot

mw.l 01ee00b0 02000000

LS1046A reboots

Linux

devmem2 0x01ee00b0 w 0x02000000

LS1046A hangs

Is there something that can explain this?

This triggers the RESET_REQ_B signal. This is routed to power circuitry on our custom board. But from that signal it just makes a PORESET pulse.

Something must have been configured in Linux to make a difference. What can? We are not using the PPA FW. The cores are running in EL2 mode.

Any clues?
Thanks

Was this issue ever resolved? We are having the same issue with an LS1043A design. The processor is receiving the external reset but it only halts and does not reboot. If we disconnect the external reset line we get the "Unable to restart system" message at the point where a reboot was expected. If we run "devmem2 0x01ee00b0 w 0x02000000" in Linux we get the expected reboot. The hang only occurs when we run "reboot".

Hello,

Sorry for waking this up again after such a long time but I have recently hit the same issue (my config and logs are very similar to Robert's above).

Was this resolved? If so, how?

Many thanks for any reply

Hello Robert Thorhuus,

Please check the whether the dts fsl-ls1046a.dtsi including the following device node.
        reboot {
                compatible ="syscon-reboot";
                regmap = <&dcfg>;
                offset = <0xb0>;
                mask = <0x02>;
        };

Please check Linux Kernel configuration with the following configuration enabled.

CONFIG_REGMAP=y
CONFIG_REGMAP_MMIO=y

If yes, please issue "reboot" command under Linux to check whether reboot works normally, if no, please capture the console log to me to do more investigation.

Have a great day,
TIC

Hello agin Yiping!

I wanted to state that the same bit activated in U-Boot works (i.e. issuing a reset command).

Hello TIC.

Thanks for the reply.

I hope this is what you want:

# dtc -I dtb -O dts /boot/custom.dtb 2> /dev/null | grep reboot -A 4
        reboot {
                compatible = "syscon-reboot";
                regmap = <0x5>;
                offset = <0xb0>;
                mask = <0x2>;
        };

# dtc -I dtb -O dts /boot/custom.dtb 2> /dev/null | grep dcfg -A 5
                dcfg@1ee0000 {
                        compatible = "fsl,ls1046a-dcfg", "syscon";
                        reg = <0x0 0x1ee0000 0x0 0x1000>;
                        big-endian;
                        linux,phandle = <0x5>;
                        phandle = <0x5>;
                };

# grep REGMAP /boot/config-4.14.67-00001-g0c71f3c635f0-dirty
CONFIG_REGMAP=y
CONFIG_REGMAP_I2C=y
CONFIG_REGMAP_SPI=y
CONFIG_REGMAP_SPMI=y
CONFIG_REGMAP_MMIO=y
CONFIG_REGMAP_IRQ=y
