[PATCH RFC 0/2] board: visionfive2: Select fdtfile based on revision

[Jami Kettunen]

From: Jami Kettunen <jami.kettunen@protonmail.com>

Currently booting a mainline Linux kernel via extlinux with fdtdir set
doesn't load a proper DTB but passes on the U-Boot one to the kernel
which as far as I know is very incorrect and prevents user (normally
distro) provided DTB usage in a sensible/generic way.

A uEnv.txt or similar manual environment changes were not used and
should not be required to boot the board as per:
https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/distro.html

This also currently needs a kernel patch[1] for my board to have the
full 8GB of memory available to Linux instead of just 4GB it shows with
these patches alone.

[PATCH RFC 1/2] board: visionfive2: Select fdtfile based on revision

[Jami Kettunen]

From: Jami Kettunen <jami.kettunen@protonmail.com>

Linux mainline kernel device tree files[1] are named:
- jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.2a
- jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b

which should be selected accordingly by U-Boot to have a proper extlinux
experience with fdtdir set by the distribution.

Hello Jami,
For DDR size problem, I think we could enable CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP, then use ft_board_setup() to apply fdt_fixup_memory()? Just like what they did in spl.c: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20230615093652.23161-12-yanhong.wang@starfivetech.com/
Best regards,
Shengyu

Hello Jami,

I made a fix for memory size problem based on your series, but I can't try

that because I'm using 4GB version. Could you test this?

https://github.com/Headcrabed/u-boot/tree/ddr_fix_v1

Best regards,

Shengyu
