kobs-ng for imx6 SOLO

I try to put the u-boot into nand using the kobs-ng tool.  The version of the tool is kobs-ng version : [ 1.3 ] git hash (unknown)

Built by Yocto as imx-kobs-3.10.17-1.0.0

I write my u-boot.imx image with NAND support  and the correct DCD data into NAND but it fails to boot. I do see some

activity on the scope on GPMI bus but no proper boot.

Reading imx6 SOLO manual indicates that the FingerPrint for FCB is 0x4E434220, and 0x44424254 DBBT.

However the kobs tool is using other values for imx6:

#define NCB_FINGERPRINT1    0x504d5453  //!< 'STMP'
#define NCB_FINGERPRINT2    0x2042434e  //!< 'NCB<space>' - NAND Control Block
#define NCB_FINGERPRINT3    0x4e494252  //!< 'RBIN' - ROM Boot Image Block - N

#define FCB_FINGERPRINT     0x20424346  //!< 'FCB '
#define FCB_VERSION_1       0x01000000

#define LDLB_FINGERPRINT1   0x504d5453  //!< 'STMP'
#define LDLB_FINGERPRINT2   0x424c444c  //!< 'LDLB' - Logical Device Layout Block
#define LDLB_FINGERPRINT3   0x4c494252  //!< 'RBIL' - ROM Boot Image Block - L

#define DBBT_FINGERPRINT1   0x504d5453  //!< 'STMP'
#define DBBT_FINGERPRINT2_V20x44424254  //!< 'DBBT' - Discovered Bad Block Table.
#define DBBT_FINGERPRINT2   0x54424244  //!< 'DBBT' - Discovered Bad Block Table.
#define DBBT_FINGERPRINT3   0x44494252  //!< 'RBID' - ROM Boot Image Block - D
#define DBBT_VERSION_1      0x01000000

#define LDLB_VERSION_MAJOR   0x0001

#define LDLB_VERSION_MINOR   0x0000

#define LDLB_VERSION_SUB 0x0000

#define TYPICAL_NAND_READ_SIZE          2048

When I write the u-boot I observe different Fingerprints:

root@imx6s:~# kobs-ng init -v -w u-boot.imx

mtd: NCB1 not found

mtd: neither NCB1 or NCB2 found ERROR

Unable to load boot structures

root@imx6s:~#

The first FCB stride is damaged because of the bad block at the start, but the

rest should be ok..

I have the feeling that  kobs-ng might not be the right version, or something else has gone wrong ..

Does anyone used kobs-ng on IMX6 SOLO successfully ? Have you seen similar problems?

Thank you

Andreas

Hi,

The kobs values seem to be correct. Have you checked if the image .imx is with the 0x400 offsset?

Best Regards,

Alejandro

Hi,

I have not used kobs-ng for the imx6 SOLO.

I will check the differences in the code first. I will get back to you as soon as I find something.

Best Regards,

Alejandro
