martinayotte 678 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've started looking at switching Rockchip64-DEV to 5.0.y ... I've now my RockPro64 under 5.0.y ... It look much more easier task than the previous one with Sunxi-DEV ! @Igor , I've pushed a "rockchip64-4.20" tag that will allow to bring 4.20.y into NEXT if we wish ... Also, is there any reason why RockPro64 still using U-Boot SPL 2017.09-armbian (from Ayufan's branch) instead of Mainline U-Boot such v2019.01 ? If No, I will switch that too ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK and haven't tried that yet. Perhaps @ayufan @TonyMac32 @Myy know more about ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte 678 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Since some other RK3399 boards are currently running v2018.11, I don't see any reason of having all of them switched to v2019.01 ... For RockPro64, I will give it a try by doing another build with v2019.01, we will see ... In the meantime, any comment from any other devs will be welcome, since I won't commit stuff until I've ended the tour of my RK garden ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac32 545 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I agree that u-boot is modern enough as it stands, but we should work to get all u-boot for rk3399 boards commonized instead of the double work double functionality double headache we have nowSent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get both RockPro64 and RockPi-4B running U-Boot v2019.01, the issue will be solved forever ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinayotte 678 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Just thinking about the task, it remind be all my struggling between the 2 boot mode of Rockchip back in early December : https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/c3e46a5d863ebc4d00d666b3a19eed00e3d0c17d#diff-ee77e238b43dce4af9e9f0b7d3f9978a Personally, I like more this single u-boot binary using this method #2 ! I will see if that can be generalized on every Rockchip ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myy 92 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Interesting ! That way you only have to get into Maskrom flash one image to get the DDR setup correctly and boot the new compiled U-Boot Without having to resort to some weird rkdeveloptool incantations ? I'm all for this too ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayufan 4 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I plan from my side to bump to u-boot 2019.01, both for rock64 and rockpro64. I used them in the past, but I wanted to have power of using DDR (Rockchip one, as I'm not sure if it still supports DDR4, there was a problem with that for long time) with a custom SPL on top to bring SPI and other support I almost rebased all my kernel patches both for 4.4 and 5.x to be very minimal set on top. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac32 545 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi@Ayufan, perhaps then I will focus on the Renegade, I was starting to get into the code last night for mainline u-boot. Have you seen my concerns with Rock64 rev 3?Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
