[U-Boot] Which u-boot tree to start for dra7xx_evm

[U-Boot] Which u-boot tree to start for dra7xx_evm

[Richard Retanubun]

Hi Tom,

Sorry to keep bugging you today.

I was just informed by one of my colleagues that there are another ti uboot git tree

So out of these three:
[1] http://git.omapzoom.org/?p=repo/u-boot.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/p-ti-u-boot-2013.04
[2] http://git.ti.com/ti-u-boot/ti-u-boot/commits/ti-u-boot-2013.10
[3] denx's master

Which one should we use if we want to get as close to mainline
with dra7xx_evm capable of booting from eMMC in RAW mode?

Our eval platform comes with sources from [1] and boots all the way to the linux.
The ones built from [2] or [3] are not booting into the linux in the uSD.

it errors out like this:

U-Boot 2013.10-00095-g996f0c4 (Nov 21 2013 - 19:53:47)

** File not found /boot/zImage **
mmc1(part 0) is current device
SD/MMC found on device 1
** Unrecognized filesystem type **

If it is a matter of porting some patches, we are willing to help test and mainline
if it means we can get denx-master for dra7xx working.

Thanks for your time, Tom.

So, from the log above I assume that's the ti-u-boot-2013.10 tree, as
that as SATA patches that will be merged into mainline soon.  From the
[1] tree, stop the boot process and printenv bootcmd, and copy that info
over (or see what their include/configs/dra7xx_evm.h says the bootcmd
is) as the error you show is just that the default location for the
kernel isn't correct with the Android rootfs you're using.  Mainline
also doesn't have CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION set which is why it can't read
the partition table.  That's an easy patch to make and post :)
