Hello list,
I have a P2020 processor on a custom board which uses the embedded
fsl-esdhc controller. Hardware-wise this is functional and in u-boot
everything seems to behave (mmc part 0 gives the correct partition table
and ext2ls/fatls are capable of reading the contents of the sd card).
However as soon as I start Linux (2.6.36), I get all sorts of unwanted
behavior. Linux is unable to detect the partition layout (but if I do a
Can you re-partition that under Linux? i.e, you can use fdisk to do
this. Then
I'm a bit curious what it'll be happened.
This was already partitioned under (x86) Linux, and when I plug it into
I means you should partition the disk on the PPC Linux, not x86. As you know x86
work with LE for Linux, but PPC with BE. So I think you should partition that on
the same type machine. Can you try it?
my laptop it sees the MBR (but also on target, in U-boot, the mmc part 0
command shows the correct partition table). And this does not explain
I didn't check this implemented codes within u-boot. Maybe u-boot can do
something to swap MMC ending problem. You can try to get the conclusion. Firstly
you can re-partition that on PPC Linux then check if u-boot can identify it
properly. I guess u-boot still can read that successfully.
Unfortunately two wrongs don't make a right here. When I fdisk it on
target, then on target the partition gets detected, in u-boot it fails
(Unknown partition table). To be honest this was already the behavior
which I expected because the endianness swap was also seen for the card
registers. So I think something more fundamental is wrong (which in turn
smells like the "BIG_ENDIAN_32BIT_BYTE_SWAPPER" but this is used in a
very convincing way by the fsl-esdh driver...
why the card registers (such as the scr pasted below) also seem to have
their endianess swapped, which will result in other side-effects, such
as improper reading of card capabilities.
hexdump of the MBR, I see the endianness is swapped (last 4 bytes are aa
55 00 00). Also when I try to obtain the card registers they show the
same behavior:
# cat ./devices/soc.0/ff72e000.sdhci/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/scr
0000b50200000000
While for comparison the same value on my (x86) laptop gives:
edb@lapedb:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:15:00.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001$
cat scr
02b5000000000000
In my config I have the following set:
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_IO_ACCESSORS=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_32BIT_BYTE_SWAPPER=y
# CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI is not set
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_OF=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_OF_ESDHC=y
At least looks the config is fine.
