As I understand it, initial support for the Odroid C4 (OC4) has been added
to u-boot and is included in 2020.10-rc2. I have been able to successfully
boot my OC4 using u-boot 2020.10-rc2 from the SD card. Yay! Thank you.
Unfortunately, I cannot boot from the eMMC. U-boot is unable to reliably
communicate with the eMMC--it encounters random, sporadic errors (more
often errors than success). Note that once Linux (kernel version 5.8) is
booted (using u-boot on the SD card), Linux has no problems communicating
with the eMMC. In fact all Linux file systems reside on the eMMC. (The
only files on the SD card are boot.scr, the Linux kernel image, initramfs
image, and the dtb.)
Below is a log of an interactive u-boot session that shows that the same
commands accessing the eMMC both succeeding and failing. You will note
that the u-boot version includes "-dirty." This is because I
changed EXTRAVERSION in the toplevel Makefile to be "-rc2" (it was still
set to "-rc1" in commit 554e551, tagged as 2020.10-rc2).
Is eMMC support supposed to be working at this point? If so, does anyone
have any ideas about what I need to do to get it working?
Thank you,
Garrick
