Just a FYI, here is the the boot text dumped to the serial port. It indicates a 1GHz max clock rate, but maybe that is just a "capability" of the board (as in a designation) and not a parameter that has been set.
I see in the boot text there is a way to interrupt the automatic boot, which I presume is a way to set parameters. Could someone give me what such a line would look like for forcing the mpurate?
--------------------------------------- Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.5.0 (Sep 8 2012 - 02:21:18) Beagle xM Reading boot sector Error: reading boot sector fat load failed, trying ext2 Loading u-boot.bin from mmc Why are we still using old x-loader - we should be using SPL MLO from u-boot master - it works straight on beagleXM.
Our last tests with SPL and latest u-boot were unsuccessful! And we have to port ext2 support to it because we have no FAT partition.
Quote from an internal query I just did: "There shouldn't be a case where xM has memory that X-Loader works for that SPL did not.
The issue was that with SPL and proper upstream u-boot from ~fall last year, my beagleboard xm was unstable. It constantly crashed. So I reverted back to the old x-loader booting, as that kept things stable.
If you can try current U-Boot or provide more details about the instability I'd appreciate it.
There _may_ be a UART issue that needs work-arounding however. And of course if they used mainline they could pretty easily do RAW for SPL/U-Boot.img and then do everything else with ext2/3/4 and ignore FAT.
The "default" that we stuck with so far (though we can certainly change that) is to keep u-boot as a file in ext2, so that it can easily be updated. That maybe wasn't the most clever decision and going with raw is the way to go, but it's what we do today.
That's fine and a decent idea. I'd be happy to review patches to make this a clean option in SPL, even. A plus of moving to mainline would be that ext4 is supported now too. - -- Tom -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRSOK8AAoJENk4IS6UOR1WXc8QAJzBskxLej6HvMizXpG/g2ob YiYwGJnzoJ5lng1UReQKEMnVgwYIx1tLSzvq0Y0zxDIucgKkfnSJPajHgwEeAJAy mhVQTR2vPq6CZpqWSed/bY0uvr1z713gwlhDz6ep2pnPIHK0UTmNw6L0EuaKQ5tw CkFoEEhVBdfkqxtsheKVZmH33WgzSDad84ohdI6Lmgx3yMYshCRU2J5bZ8cwxu/6 rxQ45lS5TX3V6RfpyAHm20xk7NYNHewQagulZ4IOsFCN627+wYIDqAcNwplr4W3Z 97Izu0IILcH9i/ayiAKjbK6/TSO7GG4zvM5jXqRrfyHOBp5t9nle7HpT4AKaa07+ KwypNQdRKHmhlqCq3nqM7rz6S0ZeTku5rruTYo443B3Vk43saAplOBPpJgSfsRAO O6zsJe34fEMa1vy6IvZFul1cRC9n9yWrCANj3ip0pLcOE2s7DRjYWA+lrAKkwDNk tA2hEzdxd/jnlsm6PpAQ4liDmvTlSe8BzSuQhhalC+Mq5QnTvmQwmIPsRWooFjhs BjxCkfrtZkixNitxMB0Rax8ziGa3LWBpp2R70qoKhH1a9zQo2kVWzlS1GBB69aV+ DIQR/TmCfBH4IbXe+5itG70fCGUBx8amBHvzN4MXiuI3NY56hR2s2gUZLw5pA9HA 3yLW06fCHx93o54KLLRH =HmdZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
