[PATCH 0/2] conf: machine: Add machine for BeagleBone Green Eco board

[PATCH 0/2] conf: machine: Add machine for BeagleBone Green Eco board

[Miguel Gazquez]

This series add support for the BeagleBone Green Eco board in the
meta-ti-bsp layer.

Ethernet support in u-boot is still on ti-u-boot-2025.01-next, but it
seems that update to the revision used for u-boot is done automatically,
so I didn't change it.

As I added the bbge device tree in the KERNEL_DEVICETREE list in `ti33x.inc`,
the machine works even without specifying the exact device-tree in
beaglebonegreen-eco-ti.conf, but I thought that it is not necessary to
compile all others devicetrees if we know the one we are going to need.

I previously sent this by mistake to linux-patch-review@list.ti.com, I
just changed the capitalization of the BeagleBone Green Eco.

NAK.  As has been mentioned several times on this list, we do not update 
KERNEL_DEVICETREE directly.  As we support multiple kernel versions with 
each branch, we cannot have a single KERNEL_DEVICETREE that works for 
all kernel versions.

To that end we setup the KERNEL_DEVICETREE_PREFIX variable that will 
pattern match and change the value for KERNEL_DEVICETREE based on the 
available matching DTBs in the given kernel.  The only kernel version 
that uses KERNEL_DEVICETREE is the mainline (aka latest stable) kernel. 
And the value for this variable is automatically updated to include all 
of the available DTBs in the mainline kernel at the time we update the 
recipe to that version.

As the KERNEL_DEVICETREE_PREFIX already has an entry that will pick up 
this new DTB when it is available, this change is not needed.

Right now this new DTB is only available on linux-next and has not made 
it into any released kernels.

This DTB has also been backported into linux-ti, which is really what
we're interested in for now. Though probably that doesn't change
anything to your feedback, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

When building for the am335x_evm without this patch, the devicetree for 
the beaglebone green eco is not included in the wic image, so the kernel 
can't boot.

As you said, in the linux-ti-staging recipe, KERNEL_DEVICETREE does 
contains the dtb for the bbg eco.

But core-image-minimal (which create the wic image) uses the value of 
KERNEL_DEVICETREE from ti33x.inc, and not the one generated from 
KERNEL_DEVICETREE_PREFIX, so it doesn't contains the devicetree for the 
bbge. This can be checked with `bitbake-getvar -r core-image-minimal 
KERNEL_DEVICETREE`.

It probably works for others boards because, apart from the bbge, there 
isn't any board supported in ti-linux-6.12.y but not in mainline.

If we can't modify KERNEL_DEVICETREE here, what should I do to include 
the devicetree into the final image ?

Are you talking about a poky build with a poky kernel?  Or a poky build 
with the TI kernel?

If you are talking about the TI kernel, then the mainline recipe does 
not point to a kernel that has this DTB.  So are you trying to use the 
mainline recipe but change the SRCREV to point a commit that does 
contain this new DTB file?

I'm using a poky build with the TI kernel, which by default uses the 
branch "ti-linux-6.12.y", with the SRCREV equal to 
"78e6abff322081d53c5a685d927476086c9b2846" (on the scarthgap branch, I 
forgot to mention it). And on this branch there is the commit 
"ab7f0d695e9a3268deb760dcd0fa58812a614cd8" adding the devicetree for the 
beaglebone green eco.

If you are on scarthgap and using linux-ti-staging_6.12, then you should 
just need to point to the appropriate SRCREV for the patch you want and 
build am335x-evm.  That should build the deploy the dtb you are looking 
for.  It is in our nightly builds.

In fact, we just promoted our CICD and I can see the file of interest in 
our build.  So you should not even need to change the SRCREV if you use 
the latest scarthgap.

Indeed, the dtb is build and deployed in the kernel workdir. However, 
it's not present in the final wic image.
I checked the image from your CICD [0], and the dtb doesn't seem to be 
there either.

IIUC, the list of dtbs deployed into the final image depends on 
KERNEL_DEVICETREE, and it seems like the recipe building the wic file 
uses the value hardcoded in ti33x.inc.

Good point.  We don't do any automated nightly testing with the wic 
image at the moment.  Most of our testing is done over the UART.

I sent two patches to the meta-ti mailing list and on scarthgap-wip that 
correctly handle setting KERNEL_DEVICETREE for the Poky and Arago images 
so that the .wic files have the correct files in the boot partition.

We will work on getting this patch through our CICD, but in the meantime 
you can point to the scarthgap-wip branch for your testing.  I'll send 
reply to this thread once this is on on scarthgap proper.

I tested using the scarthgap-wip branch, and it works perfectly, I can 
boot the BeagleBone Green Eco with the am335x_evm image without any issues.

[PATCH 2/2] conf: machine: add new BeagleBone Green Eco machine

[Miguel Gazquez]

Add a new machine file for the BeagleBone Green Eco board.
`ti33x.inc` takes care of much of the configuration, so not much is
needed in this file.

I'm not sure this machine is needed since the am335x-evm machine covers 
this (and all beaglebone machines).  We tend to not like targeted 
special machines like this as it increases the amount of builds/tests 
that we would need to do to ensure that nothing breaks.

Will the am335x-evm machine not work for you?
