Hello, I am investigating a problem for a customer of mine concerning FAT32 USB support in U-Boot 1.1.6. The customer told me it wouldn't work at all. The target is a MPC5200 cpu with an board similar to IceCube. After some reviews and tests it looks like not being a problem of FAT32 support alone because formatting an USB stick as an harddisk (either with linux or with Windows HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool) makes FAT32 work. It seems to be the combination of superfloppy format (without partition table) and FAT32. FAT16 by the way works with superfloppy format and with partition table. FAT32 with superfloppy-format always shows the error "ERROR: CTL:TIMEOUT".
While searching the mailing lists I found many items with the string above in various scenarios; some fixes address USB initialization, FAT handling aso. but none of them seems to fix my problem. So I decided to port back some of the code according to the current git - without success. Finally I performed my tests on a different platform running UBOOT 1.2.0 and version 1.3.0, but the superfloppy-stick also didn't work there. Now, my questions: - are these problems already known? - does anyone found a solution to this already ? - am I right with the assumption, that the combination superfloppy and FAT32 doesn't work?
