11:42 topi` make -j10 zImage dtbs
11:43 topi` I hpe the "dtbs" rule captures all relevant .dtb files? like the -v15-som.dtb?
11:45 topi` jnettlet: are you aware that with the 3.14.60-sr kernel, the v15 som eMMC gets detected but fails with error -22? the reason probalby is "unrecognised EXT_CSD revision 8"
12:12 topi` jnettlet: I can report that now after I cleanly compiled a freshly cloned 4.11-rc5 tree from linus, and applied the 4 patches, I can now see both mmc1 and mmc2
12:12 topi` the mmcblk2 has some funny partitions, like mmcblk2rpmb and mmcblk2boot0
12:18 topi` the eMMC is quite fast; I was able to dd 2 gigabytes off of it at 83.7 MB/s
12:18 topi` I have a Kingston mSATA ssd that only does about 120MB/s
12:20 jnettlet topi`, that sounds about right
12:20 jnettlet emmc is slowly catching up
12:21 topi` modprobe wl18xx did not bring anything to dmesg...
12:21 topi` hmm, maybe I'm missing cfg80211 or other modules?
12:22 jnettlet topi`, that should be automatically detected if the device-tree has the device enabled
12:23 topi` ah! that might be it
12:23 topi` since I just symlinked the imx6q .dtb to -som-v15.dtb
12:24 topi` I'll check what dmesg has to say about the sdio devices
12:51 topi` jnettlet: do you know how this "mmcblk2boot0" scheme affects how the imx6 BootROM code sees bytes off of the emmc?
12:51 topi` I mean, does linux see the same bytes at offset 0x400 as the BootROM?
12:52 topi` seems like this mmcblk2boot0 device is tailor-made for writing those SPL bytes
13:06 vpeter On one other system I put whole u-boot there (there is no SPL for it). And before writing to it it needs to be put in rw mode.
13:07 topi` jnettlet: do you know how this "mmcblk2boot0" scheme affects how the imx6 BootROM code sees bytes off of the emmc?
13:07 topi` vpeter: was this a Hummingboard or any other i.mx6 device?
13:11 vpeter no, it is some other device (not from solidrun).
13:11 topi` this behaviour of loading the SPL from (device + 0x400) is particular to i.mx6 chips
13:20 topi` I'm not entirely sure if I write the SPL and uboot to their offsets to mmcblk2, that the BootROM sees it the same way?
13:20 topi` this is particularly problematic if we eFuse the virgin board to boot from eMMC after writing
13:23 vpeter Little to much for me :)
16:22 topi` is there any way to find out why wlan0 doesn't show up? and why modprobe wl18xx gives ntohing on dmesg?
16:22 topi` I tried to look for hints in /sys/kernel/debug but found nothing...
