It's up to you - obviously mainline is where the development should
be, but there is no requirement that I know of.

Does mainline run on your board?

I don't know much about that. Hopefully someone on the linux-rockchip
list knows. But for mainline U-Boot I'm not sure why you would need
this?

Hi Heiko and Simon,

  Thank you both for your help, I really appreciate it.

  No, I do not have the Linux mainline running yet as I was focusing
on getting the mainline u-boot running since I saw some references
that implied I may need that to use the mainline Linux.  I did try the
mainline kernel with the vendor-fork u-boot but got nothing pas the
"Loading Linux...." line from u-boot.

  I think what I will probably do is take the easy way out and use the
vendor-fork u-boot since that boots on this hardware.

  But since I've invested some amount of time in the mainline u-boot
and it's drinving me mad that I can't seem to figure out what's wrong,
I do have one last question (hopefully).

  I've got mainline u-boot getting this far (I added debug to show
what GPIO0 and 2 are outputting).

--------------------
U-Boot SPL 2016.11-00138-g136179b-dirty (Nov 28 2016 - 13:29:59)
Trying to boot from MMC1
Card did not respond to voltage select! GPIO0=0x0 GPIO2=0x0
...
--------------------

  I've modified rk3288-firefly.dts (the closest thing to hardware I
have) to set the eMMC reset line high but as you see above, nothing is
set on any GPIO.  This leads me to believe that I do not understand
how the device tree is loaded/used in SPL.  Can anyone point me to
help on whether I should use u-boot-spl-nodtb or u-boot-spl-dtb (I've
tried both) or how to debug if I am in fact even reading my dtb.

  Thanks again,

  Rick

It would certainly make sense to invest in getting this running if you can.

You should be able to use 'gpio status' to see the GPIO state once you
get to U-Boot.

But if your board is booting SPL from MMC how can it possibly fail to
load U-Boot from MMC? The MMC GPIO must already work for you to get
this far. Or are you loading SPL from something other than MMC?

You want u-boot-spl.bin (which includes the device tree).

You could push your tree somewhere or a patch showing what changes you
have made.

Or you can try enabling the 
	CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_SPL_BACK_TO_BROM=y
option, which will simply let the on-chip rom also load the 2nd stage uboot 
seemingly using the same method as for the spl.

I'm currently testing Simon's network patches and this option works quite 
nicely.

Hi Heiko and Simon,

  Again, thank you both for your help, I really appreciate it!

  The good news is that I finally got it to boot fully into mainline
u-boot.  I switched gears and tried miniarm-rk3288_defconfig which
doesn't use the CONFIG_SPL_OF_PLATDATA option.  So now my build looks
like:

u-boot-denx:
	cd $@; make miniarm-rk3288_defconfig CROSS_COMPILE="${CROSS_COMPILE}"
	cd $@; make ${MK_PAR} all CROSS_COMPILE="${CROSS_COMPILE}"
	$@/tools/mkimage -n rk3288 -T rksd -d $@/spl/u-boot-spl-dtb.bin
tftpboot/u-boot-dtb.bin; cat $@/u-boot-dtb.bin >> tftpboot/u-boot-dtb.bin

  and my flash looks like:

UPGD=./Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.21/upgrade_tool
	sudo ${UPGD} db rkbin/rk32/rk3288_boot.bin
	sleep 1
	sudo ${UPGD} wl 64 tftpboot/u-boot-dtb.bin
	sudo ${UPGD} rd

  So I'm pretty excited :)

  The strange thing is I still don't have emmc or my LED turning on
  from the device tree entry in rk3288-miniarm.dtsi (which I modified
  for my LED [ on GPIO0_B3]):

		pwr-led {
			gpios = <&gpio0 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
			linux,default-trigger = "default-on";
		};

  Below is what I see when I boot.

  Cheers,

  Rick
