AM437x GP EVM eMMC boot fail



Hi everyone,

I'm using AM437x GP EVM 1.5B and SDK 2.00.02.11to test eMMC boot.

When I use USB host boot, I can access the eMMC in U-Boot, kernel and file system now.

Please see the log

But when I tried to load zImage from eMMC, I found that eMMC driver didn't come up and kernel hanged.

Please see the log,

I use the same zImage and am437x-gp-evm.dtb when USB host boot and eMMC boot.

In USB host boot, I can see the eMMC driver works and access the eMMC.

But when I load the zImage which stores in eMMC, the eMMC driver doesn't work.

I totally have no idea about this problem.

Could you help me to solve this?

Thank you.

Ivan

  • Hi,

    I will ask the software team to look into this.
  • Hello Ivan,

    Could you get the uuid,
    U-Boot# part uuid mmc 1:2
    copy and paste it to the bootargs below
    U-Boot# setenv bootargs console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=PARTUUID=<paste the uuid> rw rootwait
    then retry.

    Best regards,
    Kemal

  • Hi Kemal,

    The eMMC is still not initialized, and kernel hangs at waiting for root device.
