[U-Boot] Fwd: Marvell Armada XP u-boot from uart
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Konstantin Lezhnyev konst.ru@gmail.com Date: 2015-05-26 13:30 GMT+05:00 Subject: Re: [U-Boot] Marvell Armada XP u-boot from uart To: Stefan Roese sr@denx.de
I'm sorry, the wording of my question was too short. I have already fulfilled the steps described in the article. But the article describes loading of the image from manufacturer - it is not my case. 1. I create a configuration for my board from maxbcm config. 2. Set `BOOT_FROM` parameter in board\my\kwbimage.cfg to `uart`. 3. Set DDR timings/settings. 4. Upload and execute image via uart. 5. Memory training ended successfully.
But then I get the following messages in the terminal: | >>spl:board_init_r() | boot device - 8 | ... | SPI probe failed.
Boot device 8 - constant `BOOT_DEVICE_SPI`. Function code returns this value looks like: | u32 spl_boot_device(void) | { | /* Right now only booting via SPI NOR flash is supported */ | return BOOT_DEVICE_SPI; | }
And now I repeat my question:
Is it possible to load and boot Marvell Armada XP u-boot completely from
uart without spi or nand flash?
Regards, kon5t.

You can use kwboot I believe.
Correct. kwboot can be used to upload and execute a binary (compiled for UART booting) via UART. Please make sure to use the "-a" parameter for the Armada XP timings.
Thanks, Stefan
I have a Armada A388 board that I have the same problem with. (Using u-boot git master branch from today)
After downloading the kwb-file, the output is as below. This is the same with the BOOT_FROM untouched or set to uart.
Did you have any luck finding out what the problem was?

Which board is this? Is it a custom Armada 38x board? Or an already in mainline U-Boot supported board?
The message above is pretty clear:
SPL: Unsupported Boot Device!
What is the boot device that you are using? And how are you initiating the UART boot? Via a software reset (JTAG)? Or via a power-on reset?
Note: In general the UART boot does work pretty good. I've not had problems with it in the last months (AFAIR).
Thanks, Stefan

This is a Solidrun Clearfog Pro board, but the module has eMMC on it so the sd-card is not available. In the example print above the dip-switches are set to "uart boot" and it is done from a power on reset.
