Hi,

On an arria10 SoC development kit, i would like to be able to configure the
fpga from an EXT partition instead of doing it from the FAT partition.

So, i removed the call on the sdram.c that configures the fpga during boot
(function dram_init calls cff_from_mmc_fat) and tried to do:

   - ext4load mmc 0:X $rbftosdramaddr <path to my rbf on ext3 partition)

This doesnt work because at this point the ddr_calibration_sequence didnt
run yet so I cant actually use the external memory to put my image on.

I tried manually calling the fpga loadfs and configure the fpga from the
FAT partition, and then have the memory ready. So, I load the my fpga image
into memory:

ext4load mmc 0:2 0x400 /firmware/fpga_img.rbf

Then I tried using the fpga load command to program it again:
fpga load 0 0x400 $filesize

It gets stalled.


Not happy with it, because I thought it could be something weird on the
load program, i repeated the same thing the cff_from_mmc_fat does, but
using ext4_read instead of file_fat_read_at .. and it barfs giving me this
message:
ext4fs_devread read outside partition 4776


So, I thought I should separate that in smaller chunks, because this was a
problem on the ext4 read, and I get that it reads up to 3840 bytes, and
then it returns an error:
otal_read = 3584 Total: 31619884 fname /firmware/fpga_img.rbf temp 00003840
bufptr 0 cs 64
bytesread: 64

** File not found /firmware/fpga_img.rbf **
read_rbf_header_from_ext: failed to read /firmware/fpga_img.rbf -1 != 64
cff_from_mmc_ext: error reading rbf header


*So, my question finally is*:
Does anybody know if it is possible to configure the fpga on arria10 dev
kit from an ext3 partition instead of from a FAT partition  ?

Thank you

Best regards,

David
