| 19:16 | dgilmore | hi all, is it okay to ask questions on ClearFog here? or is there a seperate channel? |
| 19:29 | vpeter | dgilmore: I think it would be ok. |
| 19:29 | vpeter | If not you will be redirected :) |
| 19:32 | dgilmore | vpeter: cheers. I have built an upstream u-boot that is hanging while the SPL initialises the system. so I grabbed the debian and openwrt images from https://images.solid-build.xyz/A38X/ dd'd them onto a sdcard and I get no output at all |
| 19:33 | dgilmore | I am wondering if I got a bad system |
| 19:40 | vpeter | dgilmore: No idea - I don0t have mine yet. |
| 19:40 | vpeter | But if you use official image then it should work. |
| 19:40 | vpeter | Try building u-boot from solidrun's github. |
| 19:41 | vpeter | I assume you unpcked those images first :) |
| 19:42 | dgilmore | vpeter: i ran xzcat /home/dennis/Downloads/sr-a38x-debian-jessie-20151107.img.xz |dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1M |
| 19:45 | vpeter | I think you will need to wait for someone else. |
| 20:06 | Catwich | dgilmore: the debian images work fine for me |
| 20:07 | Catwich | and that is the right commandline you used there |
| 20:07 | Catwich | and I dont think upstream uboot is the way to go at this point |
| 20:08 | Catwich | It seems every developer has his own fork of uboot that works |
| 20:08 | Catwich | and marvell made one that works |
| 20:08 | Catwich | but nobody likes it |
| 20:37 | jnettlet | dgilmore, you don't get any console output at all? |
| 22:04 | dgilmore | jnettlet: i refrlashed and got http://paste.fedoraproject.org/300804/12699014/ which is about all I got from upstream u-boot |
| 22:05 | dgilmore | Catwich: I am a big proponent of upstream and have been pushing to standardise booting for distros |
| 22:28 | jnettlet | dgilmore, someone else is working on upstream uboot. I will be working on pushing upstream kernel support forward. |
| 22:29 | jnettlet | But uboot is a terrible upstream project/community. Really not something to standardize on. |
| 22:34 | dgilmore | jnettlet: we have had this discussion before :) |
| 22:34 | dgilmore | jnettlet: at this point my system seems to be locking up in the SPL |
| 22:34 | dgilmore | I am suspecting that I have bad hardware |
| 22:35 | jnettlet | The clearfog shouldn't be using spl. |
| 22:36 | dgilmore | jnettlet: well it hangs after Init Customer board board SerDes lanes topology details: |
| 22:36 | jnettlet | If we are talking about uboot on the imx6 then most likely. Upstream hasn't implemented proper memory timings for all our microsom variations |
| 22:37 | dgilmore | jnettlet: right now just clearfog |
| 22:37 | dgilmore | the system fails to initialise |
| 22:38 | jnettlet | Are you building it for customer board 1? I think that is the ridiculous configuration they chose |
| 22:39 | dgilmore | jnettlet: right now I have the debian image provided by SolidRun for the board I purchased |
| 22:40 | dgilmore | using everything that came with it |
| 22:40 | dgilmore | https://images.solid-build.xyz/A38X/sr-a38x-debian-jessie-20151107.img.xz is teh image |
| 22:41 | jnettlet | Okay |
| 22:42 | dgilmore | jnettlet: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/300822/01293031/ is the full output I get when booting the system |
| 22:43 | dgilmore | I have nothing else at all plugged in |
| 22:43 | dgilmore | no network. no m.2 devices. |
| 22:43 | dgilmore | nothing plugged into usb |
| 22:44 | jnettlet | okay I am grabbing it to test on my board quick. |
| 22:48 | dgilmore | jnettlet: Catwich said teh debian image worked for him. which adds to my thoughts I got bad hardware |
| 22:50 | jnettlet | dgilmore, it works fine here as well. |
| 22:50 | jnettlet | are your dipswitches for SW1 set to 1,2 on the rest off? |
| 22:52 | dgilmore | jnettlet: uggh. not touched them at all. but they shipped and arrived here 1,2 off and 3,4,5 on |
| 22:53 | jnettlet | dgilmore, actually hold on. sorry this board was upside down :) |
| 22:53 | jnettlet | that should be fine. |
| 22:54 | jnettlet | let me get things sorted out for you. |
| 22:59 | jnettlet | dgilmore, you said you had no pcie devices inserted yet right? You are hanging right before the PCIe detection |
| 22:59 | jnettlet | http://pastebin.com/jSy7XNF1 |
| 23:00 | dgilmore | jnettlet: right. looking to add a ssd, but I have not yet got one |
| 23:01 | jnettlet | dgilmore, okay. |
| 23:07 | jnettlet | dgilmore, sent you a pm |
