21 Jul '12

Hi everybody, this is to let you know that the v2012.07-rc1 prerelease is out. Please help testing, so we can fix the remaining issues before the release, which I decided to shift by a week, i. e. the new schedule for the release is July 23. Please also note that you can now send pull requests for the "next" branch. Thanks to all.

[U-Boot] SPI flash writing
by Gerlando Falauto 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hi everyone, [I took the liberty to Cc: Mike and Simon as they have provided patches in the area] I struggled for a while trying to update a Kirkwood-based board to the latest u-boot (with Keymile's patches). As it turned out, our update procedure: sf probe 0;sf erase 0 50000;sf write ${load_addr_r} 0 ${filesize} mistakenly expects a maximum size of 0x50000 (327680) bytes for u-boot.kwb. Sadly, the latest u-boot trunk results in a binary size for that board which is dangerously close to that limit. Hence, after adding some innocent lines of code, the update procedure could brick the board (for no evident reason and with no error message whatsoever) if the binary size crosses that boundary. It turns out somebody else also picked up this "magic" number: http://lacie-nas.org/doku.php?id=uboot#update_u-boot_mainline And others have bricked their board, most likely for the same reason: http://www.trimslice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=462 Also, something bad could happen if you make a mistake in the opposite direction (use too big a number for the write size): http://sequanux.org/pipermail/lacie-nas/2012-March/000378.html From what I can understand, writing into a sector which has not been erased first is an acceptable behaviour of the flash interface, it will just set to zero whatever bits are not zero already, without reporting any error whatsoever. Even though any change we introduce now would only apply to upgrades FROM future versions, I think it might be worth fixing this somehow. I believe several things could be easily done here: 1) a "+" syntax to the "sf update" command so it can be used with ${filesize} as a parameter, and/or some "read,replace,erase,overwrite" block mechanism for the last (incomplete) block 2) an out-of-boundary-check againts the flash size so at least a warning is issued when you use too big a size value 3) a command line option ("sf write -v" and/or to "sf update -v"), or an entirely new command (like "sf writeverify", "sf updateverify") to read back after writing so to double-check what really ended up being written to the flash before it's too late. I'm willing to implement them, but I wanted to hear your thoughts first. Thanks, Gerland

Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] net: fec_mxc: Fix setting of RCR for xMII
by Benoît Thébaudeau 21 Jul '12

Hi Andy, On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 07:35:30AM, Duan Fugang-B38611 wrote: > The changes is reasonable. Thanks! > > Best Regards, > Andy The change for MII_MODE is clear. As to FCE, this can be discussed, and it depends on the hardware support. Actually, fec_open enables full-duplex in TCR regardless of xcv_type, so a further change could be to set the FCE bit for full-duplex flow control in fec_reg_setup regardless of xcv_type, or on the contrary, to make the full-duplex setting in fec_open depend on xcv_type. In the latter case, RCR[DRT] could also be set for the half-duplex case. Best regards, Benoît
