Hello Stelian,
Does it work without the patches? Is it a regression, or still an improvement?
It is an improvement, without the patches it doesn't work at all
I am happy to hear that :-)))
So, Markus, please do not let this issue stop you from integrating these patches :-))
U-Boot> usb storage Device 0: not available
What about this one ? Isn't this supposed to say something else ?
I get these messages also, and I did not considered that to be a problem, because everything works... I got these messages from the beginning, even when USB worked on a single USB stick when I compiled everything with GCC 3.4. I will look into it, but I want to make clear that it is not something I broke with my patches.
U-Boot> fatinfo usb 0:1 ** Invalid boot device **
I have no explanation for this error, it could be related to the filesystem on the USB stick itself.
No, the filesystem is ok. (it's a 1GB stick btw).
I have tested with USB sticks in the range of 256 MB up to 8 GB. So, the size should not matter. I tested FAT16 and FAT32. But, there are USB sticks out there that contain actually 2 devices with an internal hub. Some of these work, and some of these do not. It has to do with U-boot only capable of handling 1 USB storage device at a time.
An example of such sticks can be found here (there may also be other manufacturers): http://www.pendrivestore.com/products/pendriveusb2/index.shtml (Notice that from this manufacturer none of the 1GB editions seem to work, however the 8GB and 256 MB versions work properly)
I'll try to test on some other AT91SAM9 boards later today, if I find a few minutes...
Thanks, and I expect to hear some more positive news ;-)))
Kind Regards,
Remy
