Igor Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 You need to update u-boot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Ok, I've activated spi-add-cs1 spi-jedec-nor spi-spidev and still no luck to find spi flash. sunxi-fel spiflash-info return : ERROR: Allwinner USB FEL device not found! also can not find /dev/spidev0.0 as on legacy kernel. Any clue? Do I need some params for spi-spidev and spi-jedec-nor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Do I need to boot with Debian 9 image with mainline kernel from sdcard to see spi flash and then udgrade u-boot on it because it's old u-boot on SPI flash right now. That look's like only solution to se SPI flash to update with new u-boot for mainline kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Still no luck to update u-boot on SPI flash. If I'm not in wrong spi device is in mainline kernel /dev/mtd0. cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00200000 00001000 "spi0.0" When I try to write : dd if=/dev/zero count=4096 bs=1K | tr '\000' '\377' > spi.img dd if=/usr/lib/ linux-u-boot-dev-orangepizero_5.38_armhf /u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=spi.img bs=1k conv=notrunc everything goes fine but when I execute write to chip flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/mtd0 -w spi.img I get this error: Calibrating delay loop... OK. linux_spi_init: failed to set SPI mode to 0x00: Inappropriate ioctl for device Error: Programmer initialization failed. What I'm doing wrong?

You need to add SPIDEV overlay to access it with flashrom. Otherwise, use "flashcp" to push binary to /dev/mtd0 Some reading here : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I've added spidev overlay: Found mainline kernel configuration 31935 bytes read in 1273 ms (24.4 KiB/s) 504 bytes read in 795 ms (0 Bytes/s) Applying kernel provided DT overlay sun8i-h3-usbhost2.dtbo 504 bytes read in 891 ms (0 Bytes/s) Applying kernel provided DT overlay sun8i-h3-usbhost3.dtbo 780 bytes read in 878 ms (0 Bytes/s) Applying kernel provided DT overlay sun8i-h3-spi-spidev.dtbo 804 bytes read in 834 ms (0 Bytes/s) Applying kernel provided DT overlay sun8i-h3-spi-jedec-nor.dtbo 382 bytes read in 373 ms (1000 Bytes/s) Applying kernel provided DT overlay sun8i-h3-cir.dtbo U-Boot SPL 2017.11-armbian (Jan 25 2018 - 08:04:30) DRAM: 512 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 But no /dev/spidev0.0 .

Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 so I can push bin like this to spi flash: flashcp /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-orangepizero_5.38_armhf/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin /dev/mtd0 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Right ! "flashcp" is part of the mtd-utils, http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/ , but can be installed using "apt-get install mtd-utils" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
