Greetings,
I'm working with some boards with eMMC FLASH and understand that I can
set the fields of the PARTITION_CONFIG with the 'mmc partconf' command
to specify what partition is used for boot. Once I do that to set the
boot0 partition for example, how can I access that partition from
within u-boot via mmc read/write? In Linux the kernel provides access
to user/boot0/boot1/rpmb via different devices, but I don't see u-boot
doing that.
The "mmc dev" command can be used to select which MMC device to
operate on. The "typical" command "mmc dev 0" selects the main
partition on MMC device 0 for later MMC-specific commands such as "mmc
read". You can add an extra parameter to that command to request a
specific HW partition, e.g. "mmc dev 0 1" selects boo0 of MMC device 0
and "mmc dev 0 2" selects boot1.
The 4th of "mmc dev 0 1" is the *software* partition index, not the hw
partition index. AKA eMMC has four partitions: user
data/boot0/boot1/rpmb, I think Tim wanna to boot from other partition,
like boot0, right?
As the eMMC spec v5.1 said that, you can do the following steps:
1, set BOOT_PARTITION_ENABLE bit
2, send cmd0 w/ argument 0xFFFFFFFA
3,After putting a slave into transfer state, master sends CMD6 (SWITCH)
to set the PARTITION_ACCESS bits in the EXT_CSD register, byte [179]
I don't try to boot from boot partitions, I hope it makes sense to you.
A similar naming scheme exists for commands that take a complete
device specification each time. For example, "part list mmc 0" to list
partitions in the main partition on MMC device 0, or "part list mmc
0.1" to list partitions on boot0 of MMC device 0.
