Hi, I am currently adding LEDE support for the Netgear DM200 VDSL modem [https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/dm200], which uses a Lantiq VR9 SoC.
I was able to boot LEDE from RAM, and got the LEDs working, but I cannot
get the flash to work with LEDE :(
The bootloader (u-boot) has access to the flash and says this after
initialisation:
8192 KiB W25Q64 at 0:3 is now current device
I assumed that it's a NOR flash chip given the size, connected via SPI.
The stock firmware only calls it "ltq_sflash" without being more specific.
For instance, here is the kernel cmdline from the stock firmware:
root=/dev/mtdblock4 ro rootfstype=squashfs
ip=192.168.1.1:192.168.1.10::::eth0:on console=ttyLTQ0,115200
ethaddr=00:E0:92:00:01:40 mem=62M panic=1
mtdparts=ltq_sflash:128k(uboot),64k(gphyfirmware),1600k(kernel),512k(firmware),5120k(rootfs),7232k@0x30000(image),64k(dniconfig),64k(log),512k(language),64k(sysconfig),8k(ubootconfig),4k(ART),4k(pot),-(ret)
init=/etc/preinit vpe1_load_addr=0x83f00000 vpe1_mem=1M
ubootver=U-Boot-2010.06-LANTIQ-v-2.3.16.1
So, assuming it's similar to other VR9 devices, I used this DTS:
fpi@10000000 {
localbus@0 {
nor-boot@0 {
compatible = "lantiq,nor";
bank-width = <2>;
reg = <0 0x0 0x0800000>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
partitions {
// etc
But with this DTS, LEDE fails to initialize the flash chip ("probing
failed" and nothing in /proc/mtd):
[ 1.936821] lantiq nor flash device: 00800000 at 10000000
[ 1.941431] ltq-nor 10000000.nor-boot: probing failed
[ 2.054037] libphy: lantiq,xrx200-mdio: probed
[ 2.078013] net-xrx200: invalid MAC, using random
I tried setting the CS (Chip Select) in the DTS, because the bootloader
uses bus 0 and CS 3 to access the flash. I added this line to the
nor-boot@0 tree:
lantiq,cs = <3>;
but it didn't change anything, LEDE still cannot access the flash.
How can I find the right parameters for the flash and set them in the DTS?
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Baptiste
