[PATCH u-boot-marvell 00/13] Yet another kwboot improvements

From: Marek Behún marek.behun@nic.cz
Hello Stefan,
these are another improvements for kwboot, please apply only after series arm: mvebu: nandpagesize support for kwbimage v1
The main improvement is in patch 5, which changes where we inject the code for changing baudrate back to 115200 Baud after fast upload. Instead of injecting it before the main data image, we now inject it after.
This is because there are some kwb images that upload at address 0, and injecting the code before that doesn't work, since there is no RAM mapped at 0xfffff000.
Marek & Pali

Some vendor U-Boot kwbimage binaries (e.g. those for A375) have load address set to zero. Therefore it is not possible to inject code which changes baudrate back to 115200 Bd before the data part.
So instead inject it after the data part and change kwbimage execution address to that offset. Also store original execution address into baudrate change code, so after it changes baudrate back to 115200 Bd, it can jump to orignal address.

If data part of image is modified, update 4-byte data checksum.
It looks like A385 BootROM does not verify this checksum for image loaded via UART, but we do not know if other BootROMs are also ignoring it. It is always better to provide correct checksum.

For kwbimage v1, tell BootROM to send BootROM messages to UART port number 0 (used also for UART booting) with default baudrate (which should be 115200) and do not touch UART MPP configuration.

It is hard to debug why kwboot is failing when the last message is 'Finishing transfer' and no additional output. So show verbose message when kwboot finished transfer and is waiting for baudrate change magic sequence.

Expression (hdrsz % KWBOOT_XM_BLKSZ) is non-zero therefore expression (KWBOOT_XM_BLKSZ - hdrsz % KWBOOT_XM_BLKSZ) is always less than value KWBOOT_XM_BLKSZ. So there is no need to add another modulo. Also rename variable `offset` to `grow` which better describes what is stored in this variable.

Currently when kwboot receive some garbage reply which does not understand, it waits 1s before it tries to resend packet again.
The most common error on UART is that receiver sees some bit flipped which results in invalid reply.
This behavior slows down xmodem transfer over UART as basically on every error kwboot is waiting one second.
To fix this, try to resend xmodem packet for first 3 attempts immediately without any delay. If broken reply is received also after the 3 attempts, continue retrying with 1s delay like it was before.

The main improvement is in patch 5, which changes where we inject the code for changing baudrate back to 115200 Baud after fast upload. Instead of injecting it before the main data image, we now inject it after.
This is because there are some kwb images that upload at address 0, and injecting the code before that doesn't work, since there is no RAM mapped at 0xfffff000.

Thanks, Stefan
The main improvement is in patch 5, which changes where we inject the code for changing baudrate back to 115200 Baud after fast upload. Instead of injecting it before the main data image, we now inject it after.
This is because there are some kwb images that upload at address 0, and injecting the code before that doesn't work, since there is no RAM mapped at 0xfffff000.

Could you try to boot with baudrate 115201? This value would trigger to use baudrate change code and because it is too close to standard 115200 there would be no real change.

So the CPU has run through a reset here.
What kind of CPU core has your AXP board? Maybe there is some arm instruction in kwboot_baud_code[] array which is not supported by that core (and so reset occurs)?
And could you send me commands which you are using for compiling U-Boot for that your AXP board? I would like to examine resulted binary.
And what is the output of following command immediately after kwboot?
stty -F /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A1019EGY-if00-port0

... but baudrate _was_ changed.
So it looks like a bug in kwboot code. Try to apply above diff, it is really possible that you hit that logical error. (Interesting that neither Marek nor me saw it)

'strace kwboot ... 1>log 2>&1' should do it...

So the CPU has run through a reset here.
What kind of CPU core has your AXP board? Maybe there is some arm instruction in kwboot_baud_code[] array which is not supported by that core (and so reset occurs)?
AXP stands for Armada XP, which is ARM v7 AFAIK.
And could you send me commands which you are using for compiling U-Boot for that your AXP board? I would like to examine resulted binary.
I'm currently using a kernel.org toolchain:

UARTs at both sides must be configured to 921600 speed, otherwise they would not be able to communicate.
What is happening here? I do not know. But as Marek told me that observed same issue and replacing USB-UART cable by another decreased transfer time. So I think that issue is somewhere in USB-UART transmitter. My guess is that USB-UART transmitter send at 921600 speed: start bit, 8 bits of data, stop bit and then loooong idle pause (logical one). After that sends another 10 bits.
Maybe kernel is not filling next byte into USB-UART hw queue? Or USB-UART cannot send more bytes faster and inserts those long idle pauses?
Could you try following diff which disables calling tcdrain() for xmodem packets, to remove any waits between individual bytes?

What kind of CPU core has your AXP board? Maybe there is some arm instruction in kwboot_baud_code[] array which is not supported by that core (and so reset occurs)?
AXP stands for Armada XP, which is ARM v7 AFAIK.
I remember that older Marvell Armada SoCs used custom designed ARM cores, so there could be some differences what is supported by licensed ARM core and custom ARM core.
Anyway, as changing baudrate after execution of SPL is working fine, it should mean that there is no undefined/unsupported instruction.
My another guess there could be a problem is usage of stack. Maybe it is possible that register with stack pointer is not initialized after the full transfer when going to execute main image. Same arm baudrate change code is used after the SPL and before main U-Boot, and the first instruction is "push". Maybe modifying the arm code to not use stack when switching the baudrate back to 115200 could also help. I will look at it.
And could you send me commands which you are using for compiling U-Boot for that your AXP board? I would like to examine resulted binary.

'strace kwboot ... 1>log 2>&1' should do it...
Okay, will follow in the next privatze mail.
Received. I have looked at it. And there are two interesting parts:
1) Both parts of transfer (header at default speed 115200 and main at high speed 921600) were transferred without any error, except for the error indication of the last header packet. Error indication was sent after the execution of header itself (SPL and baudrate change), it means that there was no error and bootrom did not sent any error indication. kwboot did retransmission of this one packet and it succeeded (thanks to that fixup which I have sent).
So this error must have been just fluctuation on UART and probably caused by changing UART speed. I guess that your USB-UART chip needs more time to stabilize new speed and so USB-UART receiver lost/damaged reply byte sent by bootrom.
Maybe you could increase delay in arm baudrate change code, so CPU waits longer time before it returns to bootrom?
Replacing code in kwboot_baud_code[] array:
/* ; Sleep 1ms ~~ 600000 cycles at 1200 MHz */ /* ; r1 = 600000 */ 0x9f, 0x1d, 0xa0, 0xe3, /* mov r1, #0x27c0 */ 0x09, 0x10, 0x40, 0xe3, /* movt r1, #0x0009 */
by:
/* ; Sleep 10ms ~~ 6M cycles at 1200 MHz */ /* ; r1 = 6000000 */ 0x80, 0x1d, 0x08, 0xe3, /* mov r1, #0x8d80 */ 0x5b, 0x10, 0x40, 0xe3, /* movt r1, #0x005b */
should do it.
2) Transfer was successful (EOT was ACKed) but there is absolutely no output on UART after the transfer. Which should indicate that bootrom should have started execution of the main image, but something crashed and board reset... Maybe it is really due to usage of stack...
Thanks, Stefan

Yes, my FT232RL USB-UART converters do not send at higher speeds, although they report baudrate change.
I do not really know what is going on. Maybe the ftdi-sio driver needs to be looked at. (It definitely needs to be looked at, because of other things. Last I looked into it the baudrate change code seemed okay.)
Using pl2303 converter works like a charm.
Note that I have another FT232RL converter for MOX, which works at 1.8V, and on MOX higher speeds work correctly.
Maybe some of the FT232RL chips are those fake ones?
Stefan, could you check in a different way whether your converter can transfer at higher speed? For example with another device, or in U-Boot via kermit / ymodem, or whatnot.

Maybe. Unfortunately, on this Armada XP board this FTDI chip is soldered on the target, so I can't easily switch adapters.
Stefan, could you check in a different way whether your converter can transfer at higher speed? For example with another device, or in U-Boot via kermit / ymodem, or whatnot.
Connecting with 230400 baud and booting into U-Boot etc shows this:
$ cu -s 230400 -l /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A1019EGY-if00-port0 Connected. �������������▒�����`�▒3������▒�▒�▒�▒30�▒0����`f憞~�▒���������f�`
So it seems, that baudrate change seems to work fine with the chip.

UARTs at both sides must be configured to 921600 speed, otherwise they would not be able to communicate.
I'm also surpised here.
What is happening here? I do not know. But as Marek told me that observed same issue and replacing USB-UART cable by another decreased transfer time. So I think that issue is somewhere in USB-UART transmitter. My guess is that USB-UART transmitter send at 921600 speed: start bit, 8 bits of data, stop bit and then loooong idle pause (logical one). After that sends another 10 bits.
Maybe kernel is not filling next byte into USB-UART hw queue? Or USB-UART cannot send more bytes faster and inserts those long idle pauses?
Could you try following diff which disables calling tcdrain() for xmodem packets, to remove any waits between individual bytes?

BootROM 1.20 Booting from SPI flash
So the CPU has run through a reset here.
What kind of CPU core has your AXP board? Maybe there is some arm instruction in kwboot_baud_code[] array which is not supported by that core (and so reset occurs)?
AXP stands for Armada XP, which is ARM v7 AFAIK.
I remember that older Marvell Armada SoCs used custom designed ARM cores, so there could be some differences what is supported by licensed ARM core and custom ARM core.
Anyway, as changing baudrate after execution of SPL is working fine, it should mean that there is no undefined/unsupported instruction.
My another guess there could be a problem is usage of stack. Maybe it is possible that register with stack pointer is not initialized after the full transfer when going to execute main image. Same arm baudrate change code is used after the SPL and before main U-Boot, and the first instruction is "push". Maybe modifying the arm code to not use stack when switching the baudrate back to 115200 could also help. I will look at it.
Thanks.
And could you send me commands which you are using for compiling U-Boot for that your AXP board? I would like to examine resulted binary.
I'm currently using a kernel.org toolchain:
[stefan@ryzen u-boot-marvell (kwboot-test1)]$ set | grep CROSS CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/kernel.org/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- [stefan@ryzen u-boot-marvell (kwboot-test1)]$ /opt/kernel.org/gcc-11.1.0-nolibc/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (GCC) 11.1.0 Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Here my commands to generate the U-Boot binary:
make mrproper make theadorable_debug_defconfig make -s -j20
Ok.
And what is the output of following command immediately after kwboot?

I'll try to do this later today.
'strace kwboot ... 1>log 2>&1' should do it...
Okay, will follow in the next privatze mail.
Received. I have looked at it. And there are two interesting parts:
- Both parts of transfer (header at default speed 115200 and main at
high speed 921600) were transferred without any error, except for the error indication of the last header packet. Error indication was sent after the execution of header itself (SPL and baudrate change), it means that there was no error and bootrom did not sent any error indication. kwboot did retransmission of this one packet and it succeeded (thanks to that fixup which I have sent).
So this error must have been just fluctuation on UART and probably caused by changing UART speed. I guess that your USB-UART chip needs more time to stabilize new speed and so USB-UART receiver lost/damaged reply byte sent by bootrom.
Maybe you could increase delay in arm baudrate change code, so CPU waits longer time before it returns to bootrom?
Replacing code in kwboot_baud_code[] array:
/* ; Sleep 1ms ~~ 600000 cycles at 1200 MHz */ /* ; r1 = 600000 */
0x9f, 0x1d, 0xa0, 0xe3, /* mov r1, #0x27c0 */ 0x09, 0x10, 0x40, 0xe3, /* movt r1, #0x0009 */
by:
/* ; Sleep 10ms ~~ 6M cycles at 1200 MHz */ /* ; r1 = 6000000 */
0x80, 0x1d, 0x08, 0xe3, /* mov r1, #0x8d80 */ 0x5b, 0x10, 0x40, 0xe3, /* movt r1, #0x005b */
should do it.
Still no change. Also not in the download speed AFAICT.

BTW: There is a external watchdog on the target, which might be the root cause for the reset I'm seeing here. It kicks in at around 2-3 minutes after power-up AFAIR.
- Transfer was successful (EOT was ACKed) but there is absolutely no
output on UART after the transfer. Which should indicate that bootrom should have started execution of the main image, but something crashed and board reset... Maybe it is really due to usage of stack...
Yep.

BootROM 1.20
BTW: There is a external watchdog on the target, which might be the root cause for the reset I'm seeing here. It kicks in at around 2-3 minutes after power-up AFAIR.
But there is no more "xmodem: Connection timed out" error.
When that "BootROM 1.20" message was printed? Immediately after the "Changing baudrate back to 115200 Bd"? Or it was e.g. minute later? I would like to know if board reset relates to watchdog or if it relates to baudrate change code.
If there are timeout errors related to "Waiting 1s for baudrate change magic" then increasing 1s (1000 ms value) to e.g. 10s could help.
- Transfer was successful (EOT was ACKed) but there is absolutely no
output on UART after the transfer. Which should indicate that bootrom should have started execution of the main image, but something crashed and board reset... Maybe it is really due to usage of stack...
Yep.
Thanks, Stefan

Any idea why this is the case?
UARTs at both sides must be configured to 921600 speed, otherwise they would not be able to communicate.
I'm also surpised here.
What is happening here? I do not know. But as Marek told me that observed same issue and replacing USB-UART cable by another decreased transfer time. So I think that issue is somewhere in USB-UART transmitter. My guess is that USB-UART transmitter send at 921600 speed: start bit, 8 bits of data, stop bit and then loooong idle pause (logical one). After that sends another 10 bits.
Maybe kernel is not filling next byte into USB-UART hw queue? Or USB-UART cannot send more bytes faster and inserts those long idle pauses?
Could you try following diff which disables calling tcdrain() for xmodem packets, to remove any waits between individual bytes?

Still no ciguar. Here the end of the log with "-B 921600":
So no change in total transfer time with above patch?
No. AFAICT, it's always the same time. Like ~1.5 minutes for the overall U-Boot image.

Or if you have other USB-UART cables, try another. I have good experience with pl2303-based.
I have tons of USB-UART adapters / cables. But as mentioned in the other mail, I can't connect them, as the FTDI chip is soldered on the target.
Understood.
Still it should work at least with 115201 baud, even if baudrate changing does not work. Right? So we have at least one other problem here AFAICT.
Baudrate change must work. Using 115201 baud could just show output from board/bootrom if CPU prematurely resets (which resets baudrate to default 115200).
Ok. This seems to work at least partly (SPL):

BootROM 1.20 Booting from SPI flash
So the CPU has run through a reset here.
What kind of CPU core has your AXP board? Maybe there is some arm instruction in kwboot_baud_code[] array which is not supported by that core (and so reset occurs)?
AXP stands for Armada XP, which is ARM v7 AFAIK.
I remember that older Marvell Armada SoCs used custom designed ARM cores, so there could be some differences what is supported by licensed ARM core and custom ARM core.
Anyway, as changing baudrate after execution of SPL is working fine, it should mean that there is no undefined/unsupported instruction.
My another guess there could be a problem is usage of stack. Maybe it is possible that register with stack pointer is not initialized after the full transfer when going to execute main image. Same arm baudrate change code is used after the SPL and before main U-Boot, and the first instruction is "push". Maybe modifying the arm code to not use stack when switching the baudrate back to 115200 could also help. I will look at it.
Thanks.
And could you send me commands which you are using for compiling U-Boot for that your AXP board? I would like to examine resulted binary.
I'm currently using a kernel.org toolchain:

I'll try to do this later today.
'strace kwboot ... 1>log 2>&1' should do it...
Okay, will follow in the next privatze mail.
Received. I have looked at it. And there are two interesting parts:
- Both parts of transfer (header at default speed 115200 and main at
high speed 921600) were transferred without any error, except for the error indication of the last header packet. Error indication was sent after the execution of header itself (SPL and baudrate change), it means that there was no error and bootrom did not sent any error indication. kwboot did retransmission of this one packet and it succeeded (thanks to that fixup which I have sent).
So this error must have been just fluctuation on UART and probably caused by changing UART speed. I guess that your USB-UART chip needs more time to stabilize new speed and so USB-UART receiver lost/damaged reply byte sent by bootrom.
Maybe you could increase delay in arm baudrate change code, so CPU waits longer time before it returns to bootrom?
Replacing code in kwboot_baud_code[] array:
/* ; Sleep 1ms ~~ 600000 cycles at 1200 MHz */ /* ; r1 = 600000 */
0x9f, 0x1d, 0xa0, 0xe3, /* mov r1, #0x27c0 */ 0x09, 0x10, 0x40, 0xe3, /* movt r1, #0x0009 */
by:
/* ; Sleep 10ms ~~ 6M cycles at 1200 MHz */ /* ; r1 = 6000000 */
0x80, 0x1d, 0x08, 0xe3, /* mov r1, #0x8d80 */ 0x5b, 0x10, 0x40, 0xe3, /* movt r1, #0x005b */
should do it.
Still no change. Also not in the download speed AFAICT.

I think the baudrate changing code is not the problem, because it executes correctly in the binhdr when increasing the baudrate. Otherwise Changing baudrate to 230400 Bd wouldn't be printed.
Stefan, did it previously work on this board? I mean at the time the patches were first merged into u-boot-marvell Did the problem start occuring only now, when the code is merged in u-boot master?

... Meaning, it still works when the baudrate is not changed at all. I never tried with a baudrate != 115200 until your work in this area here.
Is it possible to connect JTAG to the board?
It is. But this would be a bit difficult for me, to dig all these old tools out and find the correct configuration of the BDI.
Yes, lets keep that as last resort.
Agreed.
Thanks, Stefan

As main U-Boot binary on ARM resets UART, it means that baudrate is properly set to 115200. Probably beginning of the U-Boot output could be lost but at least console should start.
Could you try this patch if it starts working now?

This fixes it for me as well, for that one Omnia which didn't work which I was debugging a few days ago.
I guess this can't be done in the binhdr? So we need 2 different versions? I don't quite like this ad-hoc change, but I also don't like two copies with just a small change between them...

Perfect! So it really looks like that issue is in the code which resets baudrate back to the value 115200.
I have there another diff which removes usage of the stack in code which resets baudrate back to default value:

This fixes it for me as well, for that one Omnia which didn't work which I was debugging a few days ago.
I guess this can't be done in the binhdr? So we need 2 different versions? I don't quite like this ad-hoc change, but I also don't like two copies with just a small change between them...

I will prepare cleanup / proper patch with one (configurable) version. Just I need to know if this change fixes issue also for AXP.

Could you try to upload some file in u-boot via xmodem at different speeds? E.g. via loadx command:
loadx <addr> 921600
and
loadx <addr> 115200
And compare if xmodem transfer is in U-Boot faster or not. Ideally also try via kermit protocol at different speeds as kernel supports streaming.
This could verify if issue is in kwboot or in USB-UART/kernel.

loadx & loady are producing nearly the same numbers on my Armada XP target for download (slow of cause). This is really strange.
I also tested with "normal" console actions (logging) with higher baudrates. Here these numbers:
time md 2000000 10000:
115200 baud: time: 1 minutes, 32.694 seconds
921600 baud: time: 11.587 seconds
92.7s vs 11.6s -> factor ~8. Which is exactly the baudrate difference. So at least here I see a speed difference, which means that the USB UART converter must be working in general. I really have no idea right now to explain, why this does not any speed differences while downloading.
And compare if xmodem transfer is in U-Boot faster or not. Ideally also try via kermit protocol at different speeds as kernel supports streaming.
I'm currently struggling to get gkermit working on my Ubuntu machine - so no numbers here yet, sorry.

Ok. So it means that the issue should not be in kwboot, if also U-Boot xmodem implementation is affected.
I also tested with "normal" console actions (logging) with higher baudrates. Here these numbers:

So this means that USB-UART converter must work also on higher speeds.
My idea is that there is some significant overhead on USB-UART when accessing either RX or TX queue. xmodem protocol is: send 132 bytes, wait for 1 byte reply, send another 132 bytes, wait again for 1 byte reply, ... So if USB-UART has internal overhead which cause that every byte is postponed by some delay then it would mean that xmodem is most time just waiting, meaning overhead is applied for every one 132-byte long packet. Test with md cause continuous stream of data, therefore such overhead is applied only at beginning of the md transfer.
Similar issues with can observed also on high speed networks were is very big latency when using protocols where each small packet has to be acknowledged. TCP is using windowing to prevent such kind of issues.
And kermit protocol too via its streaming mode. So kermit transfer could prove if this is really that issue.
Anyway, I have looked at your strace output again and I saw that there is a long gap after tcdrain() and end of the read(). So if kernel implements tcdrain() for your USB-UART hw it means that it take too much time to receive reply byte from USB-UART hw to the kernel. So it could be another indication of that overhead.
And compare if xmodem transfer is in U-Boot faster or not. Ideally also try via kermit protocol at different speeds as kernel supports streaming.
I'm currently struggling to get gkermit working on my Ubuntu machine - so no numbers here yet, sorry.
In U-Boot console call:
loadb _addr_
And then quit terminal emulator used for U-Boot /dev/ttyUSBX device. Then run gkermit with following arguments:
gkermit -i -X -s _file_to_send_ < /dev/ttyUSBX > /dev/ttyUSBX
(redirecting both stdin and stdout is required)
After successful transfer gkermit exit. BEWARE that gkermit does not print any progress information and neither any error. So do not kill gkermit via CTRL+C prematurely. You can use "time gkermit ..." for measuring total transfer time.
If you are going to use different speed than 115200 in u-boot run:
loadb _addr_ _speed_
And then on host start gkermit with more commands around:
stty -F /dev/ttyUSBX _speed_ printf '\015' > /dev/ttyUSBX gkermit -i -X -s _file_to_send < /dev/ttyUSBX > /dev/ttyUSBX sleep 0.5 stty -F /dev/ttyUSBX 115200 printf '\033' > /dev/ttyUSBX
Due to absence of progress bar and error information I'm using ckermit application for kermit file transfers. But for testing purposes is gkermit application here also fine.
This could verify if issue is in kwboot or in USB-UART/kernel.
Makes sense.

Ah, perfect. Here my number now using these steps and gkermit, with a file size of 549373 bytes:

But: I see this on my PC on the first use of a baudrate change: $ stty -F /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A1019EGY-if00-port0 921600 stty: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A1019EGY-if00-port0: unable to perform all requested operations

Hello Stefan,
these are another improvements for kwboot, please apply only after series arm: mvebu: nandpagesize support for kwbimage v1
The main improvement is in patch 5, which changes where we inject the code for changing baudrate back to 115200 Baud after fast upload. Instead of injecting it before the main data image, we now inject it after.
This is because there are some kwb images that upload at address 0, and injecting the code before that doesn't work, since there is no RAM mapped at 0xfffff000.
