all these confirmation-tests (you mentioned in https://pastebin.com/mfrDk4AQ, )
shows boards with SPI w25q32dw  - thats the old winbond SPI.


we have only those problems with the new one...
macronix SPI  mx25u3235f

 

it seems, your build only supports these macronix SPI

mx25u1635e and mx25u6435f

The issue with your Macronix chip needs to be dealt with by the manufacturer - unannounced board changes leading to unsupported systems are not very pleasant.

that is right. i known this. thank you for you work.

but it means, that any new user who's buying an actual espresso bin board and using armbian with the current provided armbian bootloader...

will "brick" the board, can't use bubt oder or save env, and so.. can't use armbian.

armbian espressobin release only works with old espresso bin boards (those with winbond SPI).

This hint should be clearly visible at https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/

since support ist now "broken", until we have a bootloader that supports mx25u3235f.

 

I have no response from espressobin yet.  I referenced this thread.

Thank you for making public the issue with the unsupported Macronix chip.

There is a corresponding warning on the EspressoBin download page.

I have a reason to assume that this issue is already being dealt with.

 

We have reverted back the flash-images to 17.10 as compiled on Aug. 26th since there still seem to exist some issues with the new 18.09 images that need to be resolved.

U-boot-2017 18.09 is still good. I tried it and it seems to boot normally:

So here there is finally a set of new flash-images-18.09 (with u-boot 2017.03-18.09 and with macronix support - not tested)  (patch provided by @kostap - thanks!).

 

The official Armbian flash images are still version 17.10 as compiled on Aug. 26th (without macronix support).

 

Edit: 18.09 images compiled with u-boot 2017.03-18.09, macronix support

Edit: 18.09 images are confirmed to work on the 1g-2cs EspressoBin, but changes to the Armbian bootscript are necessary in order to boot Armbian images with the environment settings shown on the EspressoBin download page.

Edit: U-boot 2018.03-18.09 does not correctly display available DDR RAM - but it is supposed to be available

Just remember that Marvell release 18.09 contains both u-boot 2017.03 and 2018.03. It turns out that A3700 support in the new 2018 u-boot is not yet mature. So I would recommend to take all the component of 18.09 release (ATF, DDR code, A3700 utilities) and build the image with u-boot 2017.03-18.09 (the last one after applying Macronix patch on top). So you will benefit from all extensions and fixes in the boot loader code up to current date.

and modified env to boot armbian from mmc.
still not sure about the address ranges, but until now it runs stable. will do some further testing.

 

setenv default -a

setenv verbosity "2"
setenv boot_interface mmc
setenv image_name boot/Image
setenv initrd_image "boot/uInitrd"
setenv fdt_name boot/dtb/marvell/armada-3720-community.dtb
setenv fdt_high "0xffffffffffffffff"

setenv rootdev "/dev/mmcblk0p1"
setenv rootfstype "ext4"


setenv initrd_addr "0x1100000"
setenv usbstoragequirks "0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u"

setenv fdt_addr "0x6000000"
setenv kernel_addr "0x7000000"
setenv loadaddr "0x8000000"
setenv initrd_size "0x2000000"

setenv bootcmd 'mmc dev 0; ext4load mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr $image_name;ext4load mmc 0:1 $initrd_addr $initrd_image; ext4load mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr $fdt_name; setenv bootargs $console root=$rootdev rw rootwait; booti $kernel_addr $initrd_addr $fdt_addr'

setenv ethaddr F0:AD:4E:.....
setenv eth1addr F0:AD:4E:.....
setenv eth2addr F0:AD:4E:.....
setenv eth3addr F0:AD:4E:.....

env save

 

and this works an boots into armbian on actual espresso bin board with macronix chip.

 

I will also test the current releases from kostap.

 

Edit: OK.  fine.

works for me and booting into armbian with my posted environment.

Many Thanks @kostap ,  @skandalfo and @ebin-dev
Thank you. :rolleyes:

still have to do some stability test and recover the stack of all "burned" testboards.

The current 18.09 bootloader images (compiled Sept. 5th, 21:49) do work fine with the adapted address ranges.

(u-boot 2017.03-18.09 used, macronix support confirmed by @FoodGenius, 1g-2cs images tested)

 

Booting from SD into the current Armbian Stretch 4.18.y image works fine with these environment settings:

setenv default -a

setenv verbosity "2"
setenv boot_interface mmc
setenv image_name boot/Image
setenv initrd_image "boot/uInitrd"
setenv fdt_name boot/dtb/marvell/armada-3720-espressobin.dtb
setenv fdt_high "0xffffffffffffffff"

setenv rootdev "/dev/mmcblk1p1"

setenv usbstoragequirks "0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u"

setenv fdt_addr "0x6000000"
setenv kernel_addr "0x7000000"
setenv loadaddr "0x8000000"
setenv initrd_size "0x2000000"

@jrtaylor You are using the official 17.10 image: U-Boot 2017.03-armada-17.10.3-g06ad760 (Aug 26 2018 - 19:00:03 +0200).

You need to set the environment settings as specified on the EspressoBin download page (bootloader script).

(Before you apply the settings you can reset your environment to default values with Marvell>> env default -a )

 

The new 18.09 images as linked in my previous posting (not yet official) currently do not work with that script since load addresses were moved - therefore you need to use the environment settings shown above - only for those 18.09 images.

Loaded correct u-boot image but same problem.

I can confirm at least the new 18.09 flash-image-2g-2cs-1000_800_boot_sd_and_usb.bin works in my board. :)

 

Thanks.

The new 18.09 bootloader flash images are now available through the EspressoBin downoad page.

Please remember that it is mandatory to reset the environment settings once the 18.09 image is loaded the first time (Marvell>> env default -a).

Then the updated environment settings as shown on the EspressoBin download page should be used.  


Images have also been rebuilt, kernel 4.18.6

May be you did a reset while the 17.10 image was still loaded.

 

Anyway - you can now also use the adapted environment settings on the EspressoBin download page (just changed by Igor).

Boot priority with the load_script is: 1. USB, 2. SATA, 3. SD card, 4. eMMC

The new values you posted worked and it booted on Armbian_5.59_Espressobin_Debian_stretch_next_4.18.5.img.

Nope I loaded the new image. Then did a reset and then env default -a.

because of that /proc/mtd shows empty after boot

Beware that even if a specific flash chip is supported, DT requires to have partition table in flash node definition ...

Realized that. I managed to build a patched kernel/DT combination including:

  • Patched spi-nor.c to recognize the new Macronix chip.
  • Patched DT to set the SPI flash partitions to the locations I found 18.09 uboot is using (environment is in the final 64kB of the 4MB chip), and set state to okay.
  • Added support for GPIO LEDs to the kernel config.
  • Added a GPIO LED entry to DT so that the onboard red LED is accessible through sysfs.

Now the LED, /proc/mtd and fw_printenv are working as expected. I only get a complaint at boot time when the SPI flash is probed that a Macronix chip has been found rather than a Winbond one. Maybe adding more "compatible" entries there will be enough to fix that.

 

If anyone's interested in these changes, let me know.

this is for everyone, who "bricked" a board by flashing old or testing bootloader, that can't reflash from uboot, because macronix SPI is not detected
or uboot won't answer at all.

I revived the board this way:

* use the old UART recovery images from globalscale (even if they don't detect macronix SPI NOR Flash)
so download them from http://espressobin.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ebin-17.10-uart.zip

unfortunately globalscale still won't provide newer image.
following these instructions http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Bootloader+recovery+via+UART

in short...
 

* jumper your board to "UART-Bootmode"
* use a terminal and connect to espressobin by usb
* you now see the recovery prompt ">" instead of "Marvell>>"

  so type the command

wtp

followed by enter. board is now in a mode to receive the temporary bootloader.. so close the terminal.

*  use the marvell tool to flash the UART recovery images to RAM
./WtpDownload_linux -P UART -C 0 -R 115200 -B TIM_ATF.bin -I wtmi_h.bin -I boot-image_h.bin -E
* do not reset the board now. just start the terminal again to connect to espressobin by usb
* you should see the prompt "Marvell>>" now and can use the command "version" to show uboot version.
*  now we are able to boot a linux kernel

I build a small kernel, with patches from skandalfo. so this kernel can access macronix SPI and you can reflash the
SPI from userspace, instead from uboot.

this is my kernel build process

/bin/busybox/sh

then i boot my new kernel via tftp and this environment. my tftpd machine had 192.168.5.5 ... you have to change this in your setting

setenv default -a
setenv baudrate '115200'
setenv bootdelay 2
setenv ethact 'neta@30000'
setenv ethaddr '00:51:82:11:22:00'

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs $console $root ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname:$netdev:none'
setenv bootcmd 'run get_images; run set_bootargs; booti $kernel_addr $ramfs_addr $fdt_addr'
setenv hostname 'marvell'
setenv initrd_addr '0xa00000'
setenv initrd_size '0x2000000'
setenv kernel_addr '0x8000000'
setenv fdt_addr '0x7000000'
setenv loadaddr '0x8000000'
setenv ramfs_addr '0x9000000'
setenv ramfs_name -

setenv root ''
setenv console 'console=ttyMV0,115200 earlycon=ar3700_uart,0xd0012000'
dhcp
boot 

 

so now you should boot into the kernel

download https://download.foodgenius.de/data/patches/espressobin/201809/mtd0.img.gz

this file is a compressed dump of the uboot, supporting macronix spi.

unpack it and copy the uncompressed(!) img to a usb stick  (assuming partitioned usb stick, partition 1)

connect the usb-stick with to your espresso board.

 

run the following commands in the rescue kernel linux, to flash SPI from userspace

 


# connect usb stick
mkdir -p /mnt/a
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/a
cd /mnt/a

# dd image from usb stick to nor flash
dd if=mtd0.img of=/dev/mtd0
cd /
umount /mnt/a


now you can reset the board.
the current uboot should support macronix spi.  test in "Marvell>> " prompt with
 

version
sspi



so you can use https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/

bubt flash-image-MEM-RAM_CHIPS-CPU_DDR_boot_sd_and_usb.bin spi usb

or any other image and environment

New UART images are created with every build (uart-images.tgz).

 

Edit: uart-images-18.09 and sata-images-18.09 with Macronix support are available. EspressoBin should be recovered after './WtpDownload_linux -P UART -C 0 -R 115200 -B TIM_ATF.bin -I wtmi_h.bin -I boot-image_h.bin -E' as described above followed by a reset.
