Hi,
I am working on a board (AMOS820 from Via) based on the mx6qsabrelite.
The BSP provided by the manufacturer is quite old. I managed to port it from Freescale uboot-imx rel_imx_3.0.35_4.1.0 to u-boot mainline, and basically the latest issue I have is the cpu frequency.
<snip>
It is now running at 1Ghz. I still have a couple of issues that prevent me to submit a patch as is:
- The kernel (old, I know) I am using does not like that PCIe to have
been formerly probed by u-boot. It hangs at probing if so.
We haven't had any trouble with our boundary-imx_3.0.35_4.1.0 branch (which is based on rel_imx_3.0.35_4.1.0):
https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6/tree/boundary-imx_3.0.35_4.1.0
You might give that a pin and see if it works for you. Troy did make some modifications to PCIe in that tree.
Thus I have to patch my kernel, or add an environment variable to not initialize PCIe when set, in order to keep compatible with old kernels. For now, in order to boot, I have temporary disabled PCIe support in U-boot.
Thanks for the ping.
Marek, I didn't catch that you had enabled PCIE by default.
Since there aren't any peripherals which depend on this, and even the PCIe daughter board is an extra-cost item, I'd prefer to leave this disabled and require the user to enable it specifically.
AFAIK, you're the only one who's tested this.
Let me know if you disagree and if you'd like me to work up the patch.
Regards,
Eric
