Linux/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM335X: Programming the eMMC on Beaglebone Black for production

Davide Brunelli

Tool/software: Linux

Goodmorning,

I'm using a Beaglebone Black with PSDK version ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-05.01.00.11. For bootloading the board from eth or usb, and flash the onboard eMMC, I'm following the following link:

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Sitara_Linux_Program_the_eMMC_on_Beaglebone_Black

Besides some files could be retrieved from this link, too.

I've the following questions:

Reading this link

it seems that Beaglebone Black can boot from UART and eMMC only, while the guide that I'm following explains how to load images from usb or eth. Isn't it a contradiction?
Regarding the patch 0001-Change-finduuid-to-use-mmcdev.patch.gz, I couldn't apply it successfully since it warns error. It's supposed to modify the file at the following path (u-boot folder path inside tisdk installation)/include/configs/ti_armv7_common.h, but it cannot since the file content doesn't match the modifications introduced by the patch. I suppose it's because the patch was thought for older versions. Since standard u-boot configuration (am335x_evm_defconfig) can be used for booting from eMMC, may I skip to apply the patch?
I couldn't find u-boot configuration am335x_evm_usbspl_defconfig in config folder, can you provide it?
The link for the script flasher.sh.tar.gz, doesn't work. Can you provide an alternative path?

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

Davide BRunelli

Hello Davide,

You can find all the missing files attached here in this thread. This patch 0001-Change-finduuid-to-use-mmcdev.patch.gz is already applied to the latest Processor SDK versions. am335x_evm_usbspl_defconfig is no longer needed since the SPL USBETH support is already enable in the default am335x_evm_defconfig.

Best regards,
Kemal

Hello Kemal,

thank you for your link. I've read the documentation, and as first step, I followed Ubuntu_12.04_Set_Up_to_Network_Boot_an_AM335x_Based_Platform for setting up the host. I'm trying to boot from USB connection.

I've got some doubts:

As explained in point 8, When I restart isc-dhcp-server or tftpd-hpa, I get:

davide@davide-HP-ProBook-450-G5:/etc/default$ restart isc-dhcp-server
restart: Job sconosciuto: isc-dhcp-server
davide@davide-HP-ProBook-450-G5:/etc/default$ restart tftpd-hpa
restart: Job sconosciuto: tftpd-hpa

Is it normal to get the error Job Unkown for them?

At the end of the procedure, if I write ifconfig, I don't see an usb0 connection in the list is it correct? I thought that it was supposed to appear in the list with its static address..

Aside these questions, I don't understand completely the procedure that using a flasher image loads the actual image. For instance,

The Beaglebone Black, in default mode (S2 not pressed) tries to boot from
    MMC1 (onboard eMMC),
    MMC0 (microSD),
    UART0,
    USB0.
else if with S2 Pressed it becomes:
    SPI0,
    MMC0 (microSD),
    UART0,
    USB0.
How can it reach the USB0 booting mode avoiding UART0 booting?
Regarding the following procedure
I don't understand the step by step list of operations to do after that all the needed files are placed in /tftpboot.
As example, what is the eMMC content before Programming the flash? Can it be empty?
As we turn on the board, is it necessary to keep Boot button pressed, or it expects to boot from USB thanks to the settings applied in Program the Flash?
And so on...

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

On #1, can you try "sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart"? And the same for tftpd-hpa?

On #2, you will only see usb0 listed if it is active. The ROM times out, so it connects and disconnects. You will only see usb0 when it is connected.

It reaches USB0 because UART0 times out (assuming you are not sending any files to allow it to proceed).

the eMMC is expected to be empty as this is a procedure largely for programming boards for production. For the black, if the eMMC is empty, it should reach USB0 boot without pushing the button. I usually go ahead and push it as I often don't remember the state of the eMMC on a given board. You only need to push it long enough to get going. I usually hold it down until I see the SPL console come up on the console. SPL will then attempt to load U-Boot much like a normal booting procedure.

I hope this helps.

Hello Ron, thanks for the information.

Using "sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart" works, it doesn't complain.

Regarding the kernel modifications shown in the guide, they are quite different compare with recent versions of menuconfig, especially the path Device Drivers -> USB Support -> USB Gadget Support -> USB Gadget Driver. In attachment you can fing myConfig file, could you check it? Or send me a screenshot?

I've erase completely the eMMC memory and the SDcard is not inserted. For information, so far I've always used U-Boot files, MLO and u-boot.img for booting, not SPL.

If I turn on the board, I see only CCCCC that comes up after a while (waiting for UART, I suppose), then they stop, but no console comes up. After all, if there is nothing in eMMC and SDcard, I don't think it's possible to have a console. What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for your support.

The only solution that I can think is the following:
- The flasher image must be put in an SDcard (eMMC is empty since it's a new board)
- Boot normally from SDcard
- Interrupt the uBoot and follow Program the Flash step, described in Sitara_Linux_Program_the_eMMC_on_Beaglebone_Black.
- The board search for the the flasher script in \tftboot folder
- The actual image is transfer with USB and copied to eMMC

This process has sense, but I don't get when the button S2 has to be pressed for booting from USB0.
It's not clear what are the steps to follow after that all the needed files are placed in /tftpboot..

You need to use the .bin, not MLO. The prebuilt images that come with the SDK should network boot on the Black just fine. No need to rebuild anything. The are in the board-support/prebuilt-images directory.

Please give the prebuilts a try and use the .bin instead of MLO.

Your SDCard method could work equally as well. If you are truly using a Black, then that is probably the better method. Instead of TFTPing, you can just put all of the images you want ot put on the eMMC on the SDCard.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Hello Ron,

thank you for your message.

At the moment, when I turn on the board (keeping the S2 button pressed), I see the letters "CCCC" that come up on the console and after a while they stop.

Then I see a new connection with the command ifconfig as you can see below which I suppose it's the USB:

enp0s20f0u1u4 Link encap:Ethernet IndirizzoHW 5a:d4:e6:b5:85:72
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisioni:0 txqueuelen:1000
          Byte RX:784 (784.0 B) Byte TX:0 (0.0 B)

The console doesn't show anything more. How can it connect to /tftpboot folder on my PC and boot?

On my PC I put all the files in /tftpboot as the guide explains..

Thank you.

Hello Ron,
I've done some steps forward.
Following this link askubuntu.com/.../changing-network-interfaces-name-ubuntu-16-04, I could avoid that Ubuntu 16.04 renamed my network interfaces.
Now I have the following:

usb0 Link encap:Ethernet IndirizzoHW 0e:f0:76:cc:6b:88

TX packets:33 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisioni:0 txqueuelen:1000
Byte RX:0 (0.0 B) Byte TX:6627 (6.6 KB)

One more thing that I discovered: if I type sudo service xinetd status, I get the following error

Davide,

OK, you've moved beyond one problem with the naming change for USB0.

As I'm sure you can tell, it looks like your TFTP server is not starting. I'm sorry I won't be much help with this as I didn't run into it, but you will need a properly functioning TFTP server to boot the board. You don't necessarily have to use XINETD, but you do need a way to start/stop the service.

I hope that helps you proceed.

Hello Ron,

thank you for your support. Regarding the tftp-server issue, I'll search on internet for a solution. However I've still got a doubt about the kernel menuconfig issue following the procedure

As you can see in the picture below, the settings shown in the procedure (on the left of the picture) are totally different compare to the current kernel version arm 4.14.67 Kernel Configuration (on the right of the picture). Can you confirm me that it's correct to remove all the options as I did in the picture? Besides, if in the next future, I want to enable CDC, can I enable the CDC options without introducing issues for the tftp server?

Thank you.

Hello Ron,

I've done some more steps forward. What I did, was comment out the file /etc/default/tftp-hpa. I'm not still sure but if xinetd launches /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, it conflicts with /etc/default/tftp-hpa.

Now I've got the following on beaglebone UART:

Hello Ron, I've got some questions:

As you can see there are some complaints about the pxelinux.cfg/01-e8-eb-11-27-b9-2d', which is missing? Do you know something about that?
Then concerning the gatewayip warning, is it resolvable somehow?

David,

#1 above is happening as part of U-Boot default BOOTCMD.

Can you try to stop U-Boot at a prompt and try:

run findfdt
run netboot

to see what happens? This will bypass the pxe boot stuff.

#2 is new to me and I hope it goes away when we run the correct boot command straightaway.

#3 is something I'm looking into but getting you to the kernel and booting would help answer some of my questions.

Please let me know how it goes.

Hello Ron, thank you fro your help.

I've done furter researches, and this is what I found out:

reading the flasher script, I've done the following changes:

## Rename rootfs as needed depending on use of tar or img

## Before it was "tisdk-rootfs-image-am335x-evm.tar.gz"
ROOTFS_PARTITION="tisdk-rootfs-image-am335x-evm.tar.xz"

## Declare eMMC device name here

## Before it was /dev/mmcblk0, but I'm sure that mmcblk1 is the eMMC while mmcblk0 is the SDcard on Beaglebone Black
DRIVE="/dev/mmcblk1"
At the begininng, when the board try to connect with BOOTP broadcast 1 BOOTP broadcast 2 BOOTP broadcast 3 ..., I need to restart the isc-dhcp-server. so that it can connect. Otherwise it cannot connect.

Following exactly the procedure as it is explained in the document Ubuntu_12.04_Set_Up_to_Network_Boot_an_AM335x_Based_Platform, it get stuck at Starting kernel...

From now on, it keeps trying to connect to the server unsuccesfully.. To me, it's look that it is trying to connect with eth0, not usb0.

Even though I reach this point, it's important to say that the board, once connected, doesn't stay connected but it keeps to unconnect and reconnect. No solution found for that...
Reading around I found the following link

Do you think it could be helpful?

Thank you very much for you support.

Best Regards,

Davide,

Looking at your Kernel command line:

[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs nfsroop

You are telling it to boot to use NFS to mount your root filesystem. Is that what you intend to do? If so, you will need to connect Ethernet.

This may be a side effect of netboot that I ignored when I recommended it. However, it did get us to the kernel, which is progress.

Where is your root FS? Initramfs per the guide? SD Card?

We'll need to tweak the command line to better reflect what you want.

You can see the different setting with printenv within U-Boot.

Hello Ron,

I confirm you that I'm using initramfs as the guide explains. Actually there are several initramfs in the following link:

and I used the sitara_flasher_initramfs_rev_1.1.tar.gz.

I don't want to load the nfs through eth0, I want to use the one contained in zImage.

My printenv is the following:

How do I modify it for getting the initramfs contained in zImage?

Thank you

Davide,

Instead of running netboot, can you try the following commands at a U-Boot prompt:

setenv ethact usb_eth
dhcp
run findfdt
tftp ${fdtaddr} ${fdtfile}
bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr}

Let's see if that will get the board booting.

Hello Ron,

I tried your steps (except setenv ethact usb_eth that changes to setenv ethact usb_ether) and I get the following:

So it looks that the flasher image is loaded correctly but the flasher script doesn't start automatically.. I tried to launch it but I get:

root@am335x-evm:/# ./flasher.sh
sh: ./: Permission denied

The Arago Project logo appears after 30 seconds approximately without boot messages.

Thank you very much for your support.

Davide,

Great progress! Did you check to see what the permissions were on the flasher script. You may need to make it executable. The command 'ls -ls' should list what is needed.

Hope this helps.

As you can see root is the owner of the file, but I cannot execute the script. When I tried to read it with vi, I see an empty file (the flasher script is not empy in my PC host).

I tried to change the permission as follow chmod 777 flasher.sh and I get 0 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 26 20:33 flasher.sh

If I try to read it, it shows again an empty file, if I try to execute it, it doesn't show Permission Denied but it simply return.

What do you suggest?

Thank you for your support.

Best Regards,

Davide Brunelli

Davide,

Are you copying flasher.sh in an init script? If not, how are you copying it?

What happens if you try to get it again? It seems that it is not transferring successfully.

Hello Ron,

thank you for your email.

Actually the flasher script should be searched and copied by the fetcher script as explained by the guide, however typing dmesg on Beaglebone, I don't see any trace of fetcher script:

Trying to restart these services, they don't restart properly. Even restarting the network manager script doesn't solve.

As last test, I tried to copy manually the content of the flasher script from my PC to the Beaglebone file and then launch it. I get the following:

Davide,

What do you get from "ifconfig -a" on the Beaglebone Black? You've got to get a network interface up and functional for any of the other scripts to work.

Is this a real Beaglebone Black, or a custom board based off of it?

Thanks.

Hello Ron,

thank you for your answer.

I confirm you that this is a real Beaglebone Black rev.3, not a custom board.

Trying the command ifconfig -a on Beaglebone Black I get the following:

I also report what I get when I shutdown the Beaglebone, which states that the usb0 not configured:

Since there is no usb0 interface, could it be that the kernel settings about USB are not correct? After all the screenshots in the guide are quite old. In case you can find my kernel config in attachment.

kernelConfig.txt

Regarding the interface, I can say that every time that I try to boot, it can correctly get zImage and dtb file, so I think the problem is more on Beaglebone side, instead of PC.

Thank you for your support.

Davide,

Yes, indeed, I doubt MUSB is built into the kernel. Please see:

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../MUSB_Linux_Driver_Configuration

This lists the modules that need to be built in to add MUSB to the kernel. Can you please add these to your .config using whatever method you prefer (menuconfig is easy for me).

I'm sorry you are running into these issues. I'm actually in process of updating the docs, but you are a bit ahead of me.

Hello Ron,

thank you for your link. I think we've made some steps forward.

Now in the beaglebone I've got the following files:

root@am335x-evm:/# ls                                                           
bin                    init                   sys                               
boot                   lib                    tmp                               
boot_partition.tar.gz  media                  tmp_boot                          
dev                    mnt                    tmp_rootfs                        
etc                    proc                   usr                               
flasher.sh             run                    var                               
home                   sbin

Hence I've got boot_patition.tar.gz, tmp_boot and tmp_rootfs files; before they weren't there. Besides if I open flasher.sh script, it's not empty!

If I try to launch the script, I get the following:

Sitara Example Flash Script is complete.

Concerning the EMMC1, in /dev folder, I have the following items:

mmcblk1
mmcblk1boot0
mmcblk1boot1
mmcblk1p1
mmcblk1rpmb

while in the script, it's as follow:

## Names of the images to grab from TFTP server
BOOT_PARTITION="boot_partition.tar.gz"

## Rename rootfs as needed depending on use of tar or img
ROOTFS_PARTITION="tisdk-rootfs-image-am335x-evm.tar.xz"

## Declare eMMC device name here
DRIVE="/dev/mmcblk1"

I can confirm you that both boot_partition.tar.gz and tisdk-rootfs-image-am335x-evm.tar.xz are in /tftpboot folder in my host PC.

What do you suggest?

Thank you a lot.

Davide,

I would run each step of the script by itself using the command line to get insight to where it is failing and why. This is often the debug technique I use to get everything working correctly. The script then just automates and speeds things up.

You could also add more debug print to the script if you prefer that route.

The first error I see that I would look into is the sfdisk print out about invalid cylinders. It seems the eMMC might have changes and the arguments to sfdisk need to be adapted.

I hope this helps.

Hello Ron,
I was making some tests with the script and cylinder, and I think I've made a mess.
Now everytime that I run fdisk, I get the following:

root@am335x-evm:~# fdisk /dev/mmcblk1
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI, OSF or GPT disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that the previous content
won't be recoverable.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 116736.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 3825 MB, 3825205248 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 116736 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Command (m for help): v
7471103 unallocated sectors

Can it be fixed?

I hope that the eMMC is recoverable..

Thank you for your support.

TI__Mastermind 30736 points

Davide,

I'm sorry, I'm not seeing the specific error that seems to be blocking progress.

A few options.

Use U-Boot to partition the eMMC.

Switch from fdisk which is rather archaic to parted. Our sdcard-create.sh in /bin uses parted now, and I will use it when I complete the update of the material. It is much easier to use for modern non-platter disks like eMMC.

I hope this helps. Again, sorry you are bogged down in this.

Hello Ron,
I could restore the eMMC using one of the flasher image of Beaglebone.org, to make it fast.
Regarding the boot, unfortunately I have to take care of another project so I cannot go on with the test.
When I'll restart to work on it, I'm sure that the guide is going to be update.

Thank you very much for your kind support.

Instead of running netboot, can you try the following commands at a U-Boot prompt:

setenv ethact usb_eth
dhcp
run findfdt
tftp ${fdtaddr} ${fdtfile}
bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdtaddr}

Hi Ron,

We would like to bypass the pxe stuff and to set the uboot env as you suggested above (not manually but as part of uboot binary),

Where should I define those commands to be integrated in uboot code / build,

Thanks

You can gently enter the "ethact usb_eth" setting in <Processor SDK>/board-support/u-boot-<version>/include/configs/am335x_evm.h file under defined CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS and enter the rest of run commands to CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND in <Processor SDK>/board-support/u-boot-<version>/configs/am335x_evm_defconfig file.
