Hummingboard u-boot not loading?

[Russell Haley]

Thanks Mikael,

I was able to build using the patches you provided and the binary
u-boot.imx is the exact same size as the one from pkgng. However,
nothing happens when I boot it:

1) use your patch and build bootloader from ports
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard/work/stage/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard
root at Jailbird:/usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard/work/stage/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard#
ll
total 200
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     900 Aug  1 10:28 README
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  271360 Aug  1 10:28 u-boot.imx
root at Jailbird:/usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard/work/stage/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard#
dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/da2 bs=1k oseek=1 conv=sync
265+0 records in
265+0 records out
271360 bytes transferred in 0.683733 secs (396880 bytes/sec)

BOOT RESPONSE: nothing. HDMI connected screen stays off


2) The build from pkgng
root at Jailbird:/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard# ll
total 201
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     900 Jul 23 16:47 README
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  271360 Jul 23 16:47 u-boot.imx
root at Jailbird:/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-cubox-hummingboard# dd
if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/da2 bs=1k oseek=1 conv=sync
265+0 records in
265+0 records out
271360 bytes transferred in 0.625492 secs (433834 bytes/sec)

BOOT RESPONSE: Screen Starts, Solid Run Logo - no console.


Not sure what to do next. I will drill in to u-boot and see how the
SPL options get triggered. very frustrating.

Thanks guys!
Russ
