Hi,

I am attaching a patch that will fix eMMC image booting on QEMU for
AST2600 machine, without this patch it will be stuck after SPL saying,
"booting from RAM".

Please review and merge, thanks.

Let me know in case of any concern.

Thanks for your patch.

Please look at how to submit patches here:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch#Submitting_your_Patches

This patch has been added to boot eMMC image for AST2600 machine on
QEMU.

Run quemu as follows:

./qemu-system-arm -m 1G -M ast2600-evb -nographic -drive
file=mmc-evb-ast2600.img,format=raw,if=sd,index=2

What is index=2?

Is this mmc-evb-ast2600.img image publicly available?

Tested: Booted AST2600 eMMC image on QEMU.

IIUC you are not implementing any eMMC code, simply faking the
controller can support eMMC, but the card is used in SD mode?

I think this is related to this issue :

  https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/3818

I'm surprised your guest is happy and boot that. If so, then
what is the point of announcing eMMC is supported if not used?
It should work on the aspeed branches I maintain which include the
emmc support but this is not for upstream.


Some comments,

I don't think the AST2600 evb boots by default on emmc. I agree
it's nice to have for tests and there are other ways to modify
slightly the default behavior.

We could add a machine property to define the 'hw-strap1' register
but it's a bit difficult to remember the value.
A custom '-boot' value setting the 'hw-strap1' for the AST2600
machine seems a better alternative. We could merge such a change
even if emmc is not ready.

Thanks,

C.
