Hi,

I tried the microSD procedure and the results are
such, that all works well for u-boot-sunxi, but all
fails for mainline u-boot.


In the later case, i get some endless binary stuff out
of the microSD tty line, mostly 'U's and some
unprintable chars, while in the first case, i get a
proper u-boot(-sunxi) console on microSD tty.

Thus for now, I'm stuck there with the device,
[[Tristan-Auron-Planet-1]], an A20 tablet, with
respect to upgrading to mainline u-boot.

I really wonder what this could be. I had no problems
booting the tablet with u-boot-sunxi and could use
the u-boot-sunxi binary both for this device and for
a Lime2 board. I can perfectly boot the Lime2 board
using mainline u-boot.


Thus, my finding is such, that u-boot issues some difference
between the tablet and the board which are not noticeable
on u-boot-sunxi. As good as I understand both hardware,
it should really behave identical as only the core SoC
material is invoked at that time.

I tried setting the dram parameters for the tablet as
reported by meminfo and removed some extra Lime2
specific stuff from the config but results are still identical.
I can still boot the Lime2 board using it, but not the tablet.
Also, I tried deactivating vga, usbkbd. No change.


I regret for not being able to provide any more specific
diagnosis, but hope the effect is somehow familiar. Perhaps
there more stuff i should try to deactivate in mainline u-boot?
There should be some chance do find the issue by a
differential diagnosis. Any suggestions, hints, guesses?


Kind regards,

  Lars
