Hey Marek, Hi Stefan,

it's really great that you answered so fast and helpfully, thank you!

It's great you want get the board ported to mainline. Me too. 


I build the U-boot mainline and uploaded on my espressobin. Used the ATF and 
WTMI from Marvell.

When I start the flashed .bin file, the U-boot crashed at this following point. 
"Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000210 

Prompt is attached at this mail. 

I think there is a problem with the RAM. For example, I build the U-Boot for 1 
GB RAM with the Marvell U-boot and the mainline/master. Important constant is 
DDR_TOPOLOGY=2  

make DEBUG=0 USE_COHERENT_MEM=0 LOG_LEVEL=20 SECURE=0 
CLOCKSPRESET=CPU_1000_DDR_800 DDR_TOPOLOGY=2 WTP=... BOOTDEV=SPINOR PARTNUM=0 
PLAT=a3700 all fip

But when the u-boot mainline starts it promts: U-Boot 
2020.04-rc3-00188-g350c44dfb9 (Mar 31 2020 - 10:52:01 +0200)

DRAM:  512 MiB


The Marvell U-boot promts DRAM: 1 GiB



So my question is, where do you define the RAM Size?

At armada-3720-espressobin.dts i expanded the memory size. No success. 
At mvebu_armada-37xx.h I expand the RAM for two banks. No success.

Or do you see there other problems by starting the mainline? 


Thanks,

Hi,

mainline U-Boot should work for Armada 3720, although I haven't tested recent 
master (so I don't know if there are some regressions). But Turris Mox uses cca 
1 year old upstream with just few Mox specific patches atop (which I plan to 
get merged soon). You can find it here:
https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/turris/mox-u-boot

One thing that may need reworking (to become compatible with Linux) is the 
comphy driver. Linux' comphy driver for this SOC uses smccc calls to ARM 
Trusted Firmware, but U-Boot does not, and instead initializes SERDESes on its 
own.

Bear in mind that U-Boot is not enough for booting Armada 3720 SOC. You do also 
need ARM Trusted Firmware (you don't need to use Marvell's ATF, since their 
patches are merged into upstream ATF), and you also need firmware for the 
secure Cortex-M3 processor (Marvell's name for this firmware is WTMI), which 
does DDR training. Marvell has this in A3700-utils-marvell repository. For 
Turris MOX, we build all of this via 
https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/turris/mox-boot-builder
but this code can be MOX specific, so if you want to use it for other boards, I 
can provide more explanation of which does what and so on.
