nitrogen6x and imx6qsabrelite machines uboot scripts

Hi guys,

 After my last update to the current master I've found the problem with
uboot scripts for imx6qsabrelite
and nitrogen6x machines.  Sabre machine has no scripts at all and it cause
an error while building,
nitrogen6x has scripts which trying to load uImage, but actual kernel which
was deployed is zImage.

Any ides?

Hi,
I ran into this too. I think that you might be able to modify the boot script and simply replace 'bootm' with 'bootz' but I haven't got around to trying it yet.
This is what I've been doing for now (messy but it works....). You'll probably have to change the 'video=' and possibly 'fatload' to 'ext2load', plus the dtb file if you're using a nitrogen6x.

setenv fdt_high 0xffffffffsetenv fdt_addr 0×13000000setenv bootargs video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb,LDB-XGA,if=RGB666  console=ttymxc1,115200 vmalloc=400M consoleblank=0 rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0p2setenv fbmem “fbmem=28M”fatload mmc 0:1 12000000 imx6q-sabrelite.dtbfatload mmc 0:1 10800000 zImagebootz 10800000 – 12000000

Christoph's patch fixes this, but as he said, in the mean-time
you can use MACHINE=nitrogen6x with no meaningful difference.

Can you explain what you mean by this (use of zImage)?

The current machine definition will generate a uImage, not a zImage,
and the boot script is configured to load the same.

Please advise,


Eric

Its strange, but in my case I can see only zImage in deploy directory for
both machines after bitbaking the image...

Apparently I was wrong, and the machine definitions weren't explicity
about the kernel image type. The default must have changed somewhere
along the way, so I just sent patches to address this.

Looks like something wrong still...

I''ve checked your patch for both machines and there is a same error, not
sure, possibly I missed something.
Please note that I'm using PREFERRED_PROVIDER_u-boot = "u-boot-boundary" .

Can you repeat this with a clean build tree?

I just built both linux-boundary and u-boot-boundary off of the head of
master with three patches:
	Christoph's patch for imx6qsabrelite
	My two patches

Please advise,

Per my suggestion, Richard just changed this to be a warning so
an update of OE-core/Poky should make things build again.

The meta-fsl-arm-extra boards need to update to this change. I didn't
make it so maintainers do take the time to look and check it.
