[Solved] Asus TB S

OK, we should convene to which media we want to work with.
A part that, for later cases, there could be an option to scan for all media, eMMC,SD card, UMS and NFS

One more round

Sorry I don't get what should be this definition$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Usage:

- List files in directory 'directory' of partition 'part' on
device type 'interface' instance 'dev'.')
I don't find the dev name accepted for the listing.

You may give me some guidelines, I can compile the uboot and patch it on the last image.
Would you post your configuration ?

Hi

try $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mmc rescan')

what does $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mmc list') show

I think you can do $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'help mmc') to learn about what do can do.

Think what I need is the device numbers of the sd/emmc - then I can add those to what is auto scanned. Ther are the bits set in here btw http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/tinker_rk3288.h

Oh yes also
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mmc dev 0')
And slowly try other numbers hopefully something below 2...

oh yes for ls you need something like
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ls mmc 0')

Just read that it worked on the sd card - but alas no initramdisk. Ah yes - that created at install - and I just unpacked the kernel. We should be able to boot without, command something like:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'part uuid ${devtype} ${devnum}:${bootpart} uuid
setenv bootargs "console=tty0 console=${console} root=PARTUUID=${uuid} rw rootwait"
load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${bootpart} ${kernel_addr_r} /boot/zImage
load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${bootpart} ${fdt_addr_r} /boot/dtbs/${fdtfile}
bootz ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}
')
actaully look at the code - thats what it should have done when it didn't find the initramfs

So the kernel didn't send any output to tty2 ?

OOps - just seen a mistake in my boot.txt and boot.scr I sent you:

setenv bootargs "console=tty0 console=${console} root=PARTUUID=${uuid} rw rootwait"

of course it should be tty2 for you to keep getting the messages - apols for that.

Anyway getting close. Did you manage to find the eMMC from uboot?

And actaully the setting of the gpio pins you won't need! So I didn't do a good job.

Can you respin the boot.txt and boot.scr or do you want me to?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '=> mmc rescan
MMC Device 0 not found

=> mmc list

=> ext4ls dwmmc@ff0c0000:1
** No device specified **
=> ext4ls dwmmc: 1
** Bad device dwmmc: 1 **
')
The eMMC is not found, also I cannot read it from the PC. Even it still good for booting. I've done this mistake before and correct it within TB itself. I think we lost the partition table or the PID/VID to recognize it when plugged.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('summers', 'J')ust read that it worked on the sd card

On the way riding into work today, though time to reflect where we are.

Two days ago, we didn't understand the rock chip boot process, couldn't get the uart to work, and wasn't clear if we could get the TB S to work. For the OS we used the veryon arm arch, as its focused on rock chip - but it turned out its aimed at chrome devices and reuses their kernel and boot process, so don't include these bits in the image.

Now, we have managed to get u-boot to work, to go via a spl and to the main u-boot. With this the uart has worked as expected. u-boot can find the sd card, but not the eMMC. but on finding the sd card, it discovers /boot/boot.scr and runs that. This means we can do standard arm arch set up. Now the u-boot code that does boot.src also does the extlinux set up - so if that is desired we could do that as well; but I don't know that set up. There are a number of errors at startup, and when control passed to the kernel it produces no output - but interesting a LED flashes, like the heart beat - so suggesting that maybe the kernel has started, and just not producing any output.

So way forward, not clear to me that the veryon image is giving us anything. Think instead we should start from tham main armv7 image, as that has kernel and device trees in the image: http://de6.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-armv7-latest.tar.gz. The uboot errors are understood, they were in the configuration used to build u-boot, and so are easily removed. The kernel not giving output, can be traced to an incorrect bootargs. So these can be easily solved.

The missing eMMC is confusing, I check in the tinker device tree https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288-tinker.dts and it turns out it only enables a single sd/eMMC dwmmc@ff0c0000. This is all that u-boot sees. Now in linux this will mean that it will only see the device at ff0c0000. u-boot is know to have similar device trees, is this why it only sees the one sd/eMMC? Both are set up for the Asus TinkerBoard and not the TinkerBoard S. Now Tinker OS can access the eMMC - so need to check its device tree, to see what is enabled. there are several options in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288.dtsi - but the obvious one is emmc: dwmmc@ff0f0000.

Anyway one discovered we can enable in the kernel via device tree modification, which is know how to do in boot.scr.

enabling the eMMC in uboot is harder, and will take some work.

So anyway I'll run up this evening a uboot image, boot.txt and boot.src that should boot the default armv7 arch. Then we should be able to continue from there.

Oh yes your fomat of ext4ls commands is wrong you want something like $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ext4ls mmc 1:1 /') so that ls ls the mmc device 1 partition 1. We know we are on MMC, we know we are device 1 - partition will be either 0 or 1 ...

Boys! it got started!
I follow your script manually$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '=> part uuid mmc 1 uuid

So now, it stuck at $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ 3.956604] input: Generic USB Audio as /devices/platform/ff500000.usb/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.255/0003:0BDA:481A.0001/input/input1

And the orange LED keeps blinking.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('summers', 'a')nd it turns out it only enables a single sd/eMMC dwmmc@ff0c0000

[summers]

Is the uart on tty2 or ttyS2 ? Boot log should say.

You don't need the console=tty0 that was the typo in my set up copied from the beagle set up.

[TheSaint]

At the first attempt I putted just tty2, as you wrote. Didn't work
The I putted like is used do for TinkerOS console_ttyS2,115200n8 and the rest
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('summers', 'I')s the uart on tty2 or ttyS2 ? Boot log should say.

[summers]

OK redone uboot and boot.{txt,scr} that should have the other errors. You can download from:

http://davidjohnsummers.uk/TBS.tar.gz

Instructions in the README.

Think I've got to the bottom of why the eMMC doesn't work, looks like we need to enable dwmmc@ff0d0000 - this is enabled on the TinkerOS. Its set in neither u-boot not the tinker device tree.

When I know what your set up comes up like, we can set it in the boot.{txt,scr}. Then if linux detects the eMMC, we can look at getting it to work in u-boot. Also try and mainline the device tree.

When you get boot messages through to 4 seconds, I recon your linux has come up, especially if the heartbeat led is flashing. I think the problem is that it doesn't start a terminal on ttyS2 - so I've given you the command to do that. Otherwise, plug in the ethernet, find its address, and ssh into the box ...

You ask for the u-boot configuration I used. Its close to the standard tinker-rk3288_defconfig. Think I added the boot command and the device tree ...
