Installing the packge does not install u-boot to the boot media, it is a
manual process, as it can be board-specific.

For Cubox-i install u-boot-imx and see
/usr/share/doc/u-boot-imx/README.Debian for instructions on how to
actually install the boot firmware onto microSD.

The main difference with your other Cubox-i output is the 'SPL' part.
I have no clue about Cubox-i, but on Rockchip/Pine64 devices you (often) can 
boot from SPI, eMMC and SDcard and its preference is also in that order.

So if you have u-boot on SPI (flash), then it'll use that (if it also 
preferences SPI above others).
Which likely means that you could also completely remove the u-boot packages 
and that has no effect on your ability to boot the device.

If you want to try newer u-boot versions, then you need to find out how to 
either update u-boot in SPI or how to clear the contents of SPI, so it would 
'fall back' on u-boot found somewhere else, like SDcard.

I have been testing that one, but thanks for the extra testing!

u-boot-rockchip also includes a u-boot-install-rockchip script which
might simplify the process for you. :)

That Ordoid N2 board that I had was damaged about year ago.
I have not procured a replacement to it since then.

So I cannot test u-boot on Odroid N2 in the foreseeable future.

Bug#1016963: Help with testing u-boot!

2022-12-28 Thread Rick Thomas
Here's another Cubox-i.  This one's running Bookworm.
 shows a surprising number of u-boot- 
packages installed, ( = exynos, imx, omap, sunxi)  as well as plain 
"u-boot".  All of them are version 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1.

Rebooting while watching the serial console output says "U-Boot SPL 
2016.05-rc2+dfsg0~20160423~1-1 (Apr 24 2016 - 04:24:21)"  So the firmware does 
not correspond to what aptitude says.   

Should I try installing the "22.04" version in the firmware?   If so, are there 
directions for doing that available somewhere?

Bug#1016963: Help with testing u-boot!

2022-12-28 Thread Rick Thomas
A Cubox-i running Debian bullseye (11.6).  According to  It 
has "u-boot-tools" (version 2021.01+dfsg-5) installed, but none of the 
u-boot-  packages installed.

If I reboot it and watch the serial console, I see it showing "U-boot 
2021.01-dfsg-5" so that version must have gotten into the firmware somehow 
without telling Linux about it... 
Other info that might be helpful that shows with the reboot is
CPU: Freescale i.MX6Q rev 1.3
Board: MX6 Cubox-i

Bug#1016963: Help with testing u-boot!

2022-12-28 Thread Rick Thomas
Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB) running bullseye, but does not seem to have any version 
of u-boot installed.  Weird?
Running   tells me that the following (among 
lots of others) versions are available.  Should I install one of them and see 
what happens?

Package u-boot-rpi:
p  2021.01+dfsg-5 stable 500

Package u-boot-rpi:armhf:
p  2021.01+dfsg-5 stable 500

I don't recall ever having issues with u-boot on my Rock64's, so for me 
2022.04 - 2022.10 surely work. I'll try the experimental version soon.

I generate my own images for Rock64 and that uses 'dd ... seek=' of 
idbloader.img and u-boot.itb from the u-boot-rockchip package.
I have been doing that since 2021-03, so it's very likely that I haven't seen 
an issue since then.

I have not received many test results for current or even remotely
recent u-boot platforms in Debian, and u-boot has been blocked from
migration to testing partly because of this.

As the bookworm freeze approaches, this is getting to be... worrysome!

If you have access to any of these boards, please consider testing
u-boot versions as packaged in debian for versions from debian stable
(2021.01*), testing (2022.04*), unstable (2022.10*) and experimental
(2023.01-rc*) and updating the wiki page if successful and/or replying
