Hello,

I am now able to boot Linux, after I changed the devicetree files. Now, neither Barebox nor Linux can detect the Ethernet PHY.

I copied the devicetree files from Enclustra's BSP because e.g. they include skew parameters for the Ethernet PHY, that, if I understood well, depend on board routing.

To port the board to Barebox, I took the Terasic DE0, which has the same SoC FPGA and the same Ethernet PHY, the Microchip KSZ9031RNX. The MDIO bus address on the DE0 is 1, and 3 on the SA2.

@dok had me type some commands in the Barebox prompt such as devinfo, miitool, but it didn't solve the issue.

I notices differences in the devicetree files of the DE0 and the SA2. I tried to group them; see the links below.

Hello,

I'm trying to port the Enclustra SA2 module. I started off the Terasic DE0 nano Soc board, that I could run with success previously. They both have a Cyclone V SoC FPGA. I added some pr_debug().

My code is here, in the board-enclustra-sa2 branch:
https://github.com/dpproto/barebox

It hangs when the execution jumps to the uncompressed Barebox image, and I'm really stuck.

Enclustra provides a U-Boot configuration, with handoff files. I tried to compare them with those I copied from a sample Quartus project they provide too. I couldn't notice striking differences, although it's not easy to compare because they used an older version of Quartus.

- The addresses and sizes in the log output below don't seem to exceed SDRAM boundaries, do they?
- Any hint on anything to check?
