PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: where to get source of uboot/ kernel for bone blk

Hello Hong

Ifeel I have to confirm what I did per your answer to the inquiry Jonanthan post to the forum all my behalf as it's dragged on on for so long
I did down load the latest 1) Tool chain 2) source 3) Guide
I strictly followed the guide

1) Use Ubuntu 14 64b as it has the right make uility v3.83

But per guide For bone black I have to do config 

am335x_evm_defconfig

But the release has only 

am335x_evm_vboot_defconfig

Neddless to say all cofig in dir configs in new UBoot Old Uboot use config in file boards.xfg but use config not def config

I believe this is the root cause

Another big questiion is why all uboot-2013 did work well for the board and now all sudden it got hang due to unknown board

Even my old uboot-2033 binary on SD card boo very well and load kernel/ Filesystem upuntil user login

Something extremely unsual really did happend happen

I always extremely cautious about open source so I always kepp thing together as a a set=src+tool chain even version of host etc

Thanks for you info Hong

Dear Hong I just tried it and it reallybooted with capture below it really uboot -2019 and no error of unknown board

So what's wrong with my compilation Even I strictly fowed the instruction

1) 64b Ubuntu 14 for right make utility of version 3.83 I verified it's version 3.83

2) Use tool chain down loaded from the same release 6_03

gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabihf/

So TI team could do compilation but Why I failed ??

Are Are You able compilt u-boot-2019, Hong

If Yes  with what config statement was it

am335x_boneblack_vboot_defconfig

As it is the only one avail in dir configs in uboot-2019

Thnks so much for your time/ effort

Hi Duyky,

Just want to confirm you successfully tested UART boot with the two binary files included in the package on your BBB?

1. "/board-support/prebuilt-images/u-boot-spl.bin-am335x-evm.bin"

2. "/board-support/prebuilt-images/u-boot-am335x-evm.img"

Best,

-Hong

Dear Hong 

I Use Xmodem to send SPL u-boot-spl.bin-am335x-evm and got that capture in my latest reply
In my experience  for a  UART boot with other ubot 2013 I found only SPL is required for XModem send ;  IMG is auto sent aas long as IMG in the same folder with SPL

I just tried to send  manually u-boot-am335x-evm.img this time  but failed to send both with X/Y Modem ??

What next step should I do Hong

Thanks/  Best Regards Hong

DuyKy

Hi DuyKy,

1. Sending first "u-boot-spl.bin-am335x-evm.bin" over x-modem, and
2. After the x-modem transmitted SPL successfully booted on target (SPL banner would be printed over serial terminal), sending “u-boot-am335x-evm.img” via y-modem.

Best,

-Hong

Dear Hong

After SPL [u-boot-spl.bin-am335x-evm]XModem send done with appearance of banner 

U-Boot SPL 2019.01-g333c3e72d3 (Apr 19 2020 - 11:21:12 +0000)

Trying to boot from UART

I did YModem send of IMG [ u-boot-am335x-evm.img]but it failed 0 bytes send

Are you Have you succeded with them Hong ??

I've been using Tera Term-4.83 on 32bWin7

Thanks/Best Rards

DuyKy

Hello Hong

YES I wait longer until to se few "CC" do Y modem of IMG and it did boot all the way to the end 

up to

TFTP from server 11.1.1.1; our IP address is 11.1.1.133

Filename 'zImage'.

Load address: 0x82000000

Loading: *T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T

it got hang in atempting to get Linux img  via TFTP over network Ihad some expereience with this kind of thing and already had TFTP-even NFS-server set up on my Linux host for  mounting Root File system over net work  but I unable to set env for this process as it hang for ever  I had net cable connected but it expects serverip 11.1.1.1 while mine is 11.1.1.2. Normally HostId 1 reserved onlyfor router Whyit's used here for TPTP-server ??

. Before I modified the source to set up serverip gatewayip . . .

I'm aware  new ubot use uEnv.txt but couldn't find it in the release

and I never ever use this way

So the only way for me to go on is to do compile u-boot but I failed in doing so 

You have any idea to compile uboot in this releaseI greatly appreciate if Ican get condition for a suceesful compilation like

config statement something like ??????_def config

I'm still nervous with the one in configs dir in uboot of this release

 am335x_boneblack_vboot_defconfig

Any idea Hong ??

Thanks/Best Regards

DuyKy

Hello Hong

I  thought I already confirm in my previous reply that

I were able to use rebuilt binary from the latest release 6_03

SPL=u-boot-spl.bin-am335x-evm

IMG=u-boot-am335x-evm.img

I got uart boot scuccessfully

First XModem send of SPL once done sending I had to wait for a few 'C'

then did YMdemsend of IMG and8it boot all to the end witha stream of 'T' in trying to load kernel using TFTP

I got some experience in this kind of 0processusing TFTP to load kernel and NFS to runing Linux with NFS root file system [RFS]

Howver to the best of my knowledge that

In order to run Linux with NFS Root File System the kernel must be configure to support NFS for Root File System but I'm not sure if the rebuilt Linux binary has the feature configured
So I do expect TI SDK team to provide me how to compile u-boot successfully

I already had BBB RFS on my Linux Host I used 5 years ago to do this process perfectly

But I really wish to start all over again from scratch by compile u-boot config/compile  kernel

Hello Forum pal  Team any idea ??

Thanks/Best Regards

DuyKy

Hello Hong

I 'm very puzzle why my reply to you not clear that I already downloaded  the lastest TIvreleasestrictly folollowed TI instructions  in the release and used all TI relases = Tool Chain+source
but I got error in compiling u-bboot the simplest job in Linux( kernel root file system)

Could you con firm if  you able to com pile it, if  yes Could you provide me defails for successful compilation like

1) What compiler

2) what host 32b/64b Ubuntu version

What config statementI you used 

Is it

 am335x_evm_vboot_defconfig

II wish I could have your confirm  could provide me tyou reply me with your  straight  answer to my questions above

Rather than keep replying me with your old reply with the link of TI release

I really wish not to waste time/effort of Forum member in reading the old duplicate reply from you for so long Hong

Dear Forum member

I'm sosorry about any incovenience it may cause due to my problem with BBB

Sincerely/ Best Regards

DuyKy

Hello Hong

It doesn’t make sense to me when you just duplicate my question to you in replying to me

Once again my question to Hong is below so sorry to spell out your name Hong recommended to me as the best TI expert in this iled

Hong, Are you able to have a successfully compilation of the latest TI Linux release 06_03 ??

In particular the simplest one u-boot-2019

If YES Could Hong provide me all details like Linux host/version ??

Was the toochain from the release??

What specific config statement you really used ????_[def]config

Plz not duplicate reply In doing so we may cause some annoying inconvenience to our dear forum members as it's seen as an illusion  that the case going well while itreally get stuck seriously,

I really wish not to waste both human/system resource[time/effort offot human bandwidth of system]

Thanks/BestRegards for your cooperation Hong

DuyKy

Hello

What plat form for sucessful compilation

I have 64b Ubuntu 14 but ended up it failure with error below

arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 8.3-2019.03 (arm-rel-8.36)) 8.3.0

As senn the TI Cross vompile 8.3 used fror u-boot-20.18 Somthing realy quite wrong here

The only thing needed to con firm here is info of the host 64b/32b ?? Ubuntu version

These 2 pieces of info need to be confirms  as the src/tool cxhain are all from TI release 06_03

Thanks
