chocho I updated U-Boot, please test it. Instructions in #143 still apply.

chocho · June 29, 2019 at 9:16 AM

Sorry for delay, but I had to go to work. IT emergency

There is a change, but still doesn't boot :

Code

U-Boot SPL 2019.04 (Jun 29 2019 - 09:40:19 +0200)
DRAM:Bonding ID: 7
DRAM PHY PGSR0 = 40007d
DRAM PHY DX0RSR0 = 2
DRAM PHY DX1RSR0 = 2
DRAM PHY DX2RSR0 = 3
DRAM PHY DX3RSR0 = 3
Unsupported DRAM configuration: column number invalid

resetting ...

chocho no need to apologize. Test whenever you have time.

I prepared two new versions:

u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

u-boot-sunxi-with-spl2.bin

Please test first one first.

chocho · June 29, 2019 at 11:17 AM

Tested with both u-boot files and works with both.

Found a HDMI to DVI cable to connect to monitor and kodi is loaded.

Below are boot and dmesg logs, as test1 is with first u-boot.

I saw now that detected RAM is 1GB

**jernej** · June 29, 2019 at 1:07 PM Official Post

chocho Another attempt: u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

chocho · June 29, 2019 at 1:23 PM

Awesome, now detected RAM is 2GB.

Here is the log:

Great! Thanks for testing! I'll add this to AW updates PR, which might be a bit late due to OrangePi One Plus issues.

Just FYI, half DQ also means lower memory bandwidth, so this also means it might have issues with high bitrate movies.

Thanks for warning, but I'll use it with 1080p TV and mainly for SD Live TV.

One more question. On what depending ethernet to start working.

**jernej** · June 29, 2019 at 1:51 PM Official Post

chocho Can you please test this U-Boot for the last time? u-boot-sunxi-with-spl2.bin

I removed some debug code and I want to be sure I didn't break anything. You don't need to provide output this time if it works.

Regarding ethernet, it needs some work on kernel side. Driver needs to be written for ethernet PHY, which is probably next thing I will do.

Can't boot:

**jernej** · June 29, 2019 at 2:20 PM Official Post

chocho This should be it: u-boot-sunxi-with-spl2.bin

Sorry for bothering you, but I really want to put it in appropriate form for later inclusion in mainline U-Boot.

chocho · June 29, 2019 at 2:42 PM

I think this was the same as previous, it doesn't boot and version is the same -

U-Boot SPL 2019.04 (Jun 29 2019 - 14:46:19 +0200)

Hm... are you sure you downloaded the right one? The one on the server has U-Boot SPL 2019.04 (Jun 29 2019 - 15:18:14 +0200) in it and the name is u-boot-sunxi-with-spl2.bin (note the "2" in it).

chocho · June 29, 2019 at 3:01 PM

Now I am sure, I did it all over again.

Weird, I'm pretty sure I uploaded it. Let's try this another way: u-boot-sunxi-with-spl2.zip Before flashing you can search for "U-Boot SPL" and check that time stamp is 15:18:14

chocho · June 29, 2019 at 3:23 PM

The file is from 15:18, but can't boot and shows version 14:46:19 +0200

It is possible that I'm doing something wrong, but can't find where.

My linux skills are basic, can you tell me how to do that search

strings u-boot-sunxi-with-spl2.bin | grep "U-Boot SPL"

Can you tell me which command you are using for burning U-Boot to it?
