 Hi Marek,

 Sorry, I don't know the detail of ECC implementation in socfpga.
 Dinh might have the answer to that.

 Anyhow I still think let the setting untouched is the safest fix.
 SPL should use the same ECC setting which BROM loads SPL with.

 OK thanks. It might be possible to do this earlier, say in
 cpu_init_crit().

Oh joy. Well anyway I think this is a chip-specific problem and there
is nothing wrong in general with the current init process.

You cannot enable the bit, because it'd corrupt your OCRAM and your code is
running from the OCRAM, thus you'd be susceptible to corrupting the code
you're running itself :(

OK thanks. It might be possible to do this earlier, say in cpu_init_crit().

That's absolutelly correct.

board_init_f() enables the ECC of the SRAM regardless its previous state.
If ECC is disabled beborehand, re-enabling it can cause SRAM misreading.

Oh, but that is a problem, since we're running from the OCRAM ourselves,
thus we cannot clear the OCRAM. Maybe we should force-disable the ECC
instead? But can we be sure that the corruption does not happen when
you disable ECC ?

What I would be worried is that if this really happens, it likely also corrupts
the SPL code which is loaded in OCRAM.

Can't you tune the VxWorks to keep the ECC enabled ?

You can also reproduce the problem directly in U-Boot with 2 steps:
  => mw.l 0xFFD08144 0
  => reset

On my ade0-nano-soc it hangs even before serial output,
which means it did corrupt the SPL. I guess I just got (un)lucky with socdk.

Yes, I can. But U-Boot can still have problem with other Image which 
disables ECC.
I found another post related to this problem 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/6/685 .
Quote: To initialize ECC, the OCRAM needs to enable ECC then clear 
the entire

memory to zero before using it.

Yes, that will be a problem. It's also why I let the SYSMGR_ECC_OCRAM_EN 
bit intact in the patch.

OK, but what about turning the ECC off in the SPL, will that also introduce
corruption or not ? That might be the right fix, no ?

That's right, but I'd also like to have this bit in some defined
state from the boot instead of having this in some random setting.

Hi Marek,

Sorry, I don't know the detail of ECC implementation in socfpga.
Dinh might have the answer to that.

Anyhow I still think let the setting untouched is the safest fix.
SPL should use the same ECC setting which BROM loads SPL with.

Also I'm still a bit confused.

The code in crt0.S zeroes global_data so how can it be non-zero a
little later in board_init_f()?

Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: socfpga: dm: Fix DM initialization failure after warm reset

2015-09-02 Thread Jian Luo 

Hi!

this error comes again. It isn't a compiler error after all. :(

JTAG inspection shows that the problem is located in 
arch/arm/mach-socfpga/spl.c line94.
It seems that re-enable ECC on OCRAM can cause some strange value 
changes in SRAM.

Disabling ECC might also cause value changes, which I didn't test.

On a cold (re)boot sysmgr_regs->eccgrp_ocram is 0x19 (derr|serr|en). So 
gd keeps intact.


In our VxWorks Image ECC on OCRAM happens to be disabled.
After a warm reset sysmgr_regs->eccgrp_ocram is 0x18 (derr|serr).
Thus after re-enable ECC, gd->dm_root turns to 0x80 every time.

My solution is keeping SYSMGR_ECC_OCRAM_EN bit untouched. And it works 
for me.

Other solution:
1. Moving OCRAM ECC setting to earlier stage: requires change in generic 
code.
2. Clear gd afterwards: requires replication of every early stage gd 
setting.

Try using msmtp and configure your git send-email to send through it
(and all your other MUAs too), it's really convenient :)

It works. Thanks. :)


btw is this a custom board you're porting here ?

Yes, but this particular error can also be reproduced on Altera SoCDK.

It seems to be a compiler and/or configuration error of gcc 4.8 
generated by yocto dizzy.
After I switched to gcc 4.9 shiped with Altera Soc EDS 15.0, there is no 
warm reset error anymore.

Let me guess -- gcc 4.8.2 ?

Nice, thanks for the update :)

 This does not look like the root cause to me. global_data is zeroed by
 crt0.S if CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK is set, which it seems to be for
 socfpga.
 
 What boot path does 'warm reset' take?

Warm reset resets the CPU core(s) and jumps to 0x0 in SRAM (without re-reading
anything from the boot media).

 Also BTW it would be better if board_init_f() returned rather than
 calling board_init_r() directly.

I'm all for it, it'd trim down the stack utilisation slightly too.

 No, it does not mean it skips crt0.S . After the warm reset, the bootrom
 jumps onto the reset vector, so crt0.S (_main) must be executed.

Then I don't understand the need for this patch.

 Apparently, the gd-dm_root is set to a non-NULL address for some (unknown)
 reason. I don't quite understand this myself.

 The only possibility which can lead to gd-dm_root being set to non-NULL 
 address
 is that crt0.S _main is not executed, is that correct ?

I think so, unless driver model was already inited by a call to
spl_init(). But I don't see where your board might do that.

 Yes, in dm_init() where gd-dm_root will be checked.

But if you get -ENOMEM, that means somehow the malloc is broken here.
I wonder if this explicit setting of gd-malloc_area is screwing something
up ?

### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###





It did not happen if I do reset direct in U-Boot.
I'll attach a JTAG Debug to dig deeper.

Neat, that'd be really awesome, thanks for looking into this !


Can you try tracking it down a bit more? I suspect that you might see
dm_init_and_scan() returned error -22 , is that what you observe please?

Yes, in dm_init() where gd-dm_root will be checked.

But if you get -ENOMEM, that means somehow the malloc is broken here.
I wonder if this explicit setting of gd-malloc_area is screwing something
up ?

Isn't 22 EINVAL?
It's in the drivers/core/root.c line 105

The bigger concern I have is that if you look into arch/arm/lib/crt0.S ,
you will see that the entire global data are cleared there (_main, label

  Yes, sorry. I can't setup git send-email in our company network.
  Thunderbird messed the indent up.
  
  Why not ?
 
 Security policy. :(

But thunderbird works ? Can't you just copy the SMTP settings from thunderbird
into gitconfig ? :)

  This was my first assumption, it should be cleared in crt0.S.
  I was using U-Boot to load a VxWorks image.
  And wrote 1 to rstmgr ctrl in VxWorks to do a warm reset.
  Afterwards the SPL hangs.
  
  Hangs in which way ? Can you share the output please ?
 
 Sorry, should attached the output in the first place.
 With CONFIG_DM_WARN defined:

 * VxWorks is up *

 - reboot

Uhm ... how can this be if GD is zeroed out ?

This does not look like the root cause to me. global_data is zeroed by
crt0.S if CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK is set, which it seems to be for
socfpga.

What boot path does 'warm reset' take?

Also BTW it would be better if board_init_f() returned rather than
calling board_init_r() directly.

Simon

Try using msmtp and configure your git send-email to send through it
(and all your other MUAs too), it's really convenient :)

btw is this a custom board you're porting here ?
