It seems fair enough to me that one should be allowed to run ide reset and have it succeed, even if one of the interfaces fails, since one wants the controller/disk that exists to get initialised, even if the other one is absent, but perhaps I'm missing the point somehow. Of course, the hack that I'm using probably doesn't help in the case where one only has an eSATA drive plugged in. I suppose one could store the return from each mvsata_ide_initialize_port call, and return success if any of them succeeded, or the status of the first one otherwise, say.

I've been trying to get a version of u-boot for OpenRD Ultimate that is willing to boot from all of NAND, USB, SD and SATA, and find that SD SATA is still not possible with -rc1 as packaged for Debian (and it seems that nothing in the subsequent work in the master git would help, but if people tell me that it does, I'll give that a try). I don't know which u-boot version you are referring? Once packed with board or one from u-boot.git. What I'm using is very close to this: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/u-boot.git;a=summary which is, as mentioned, the upstream (i.e. as available from denx.de) with debian patches added, the main effect of the patches being that one can then build them as a package -- this used to make more of a difference when we had a diff aimed at the OpenRD, but as you can see that was dropped by Clint on 2011-05-21 when it was merged into the upstream tree: Drop openrd-client-and-ultimate.diff (merged). I've since pulled from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git, and rebased the Debian stuff, with my tiny patch added, as seen here: http://git.hands.com/u-boot the Debian build system applies the quilt patches (that are in ./debian/patches) so to see what actually gets built, see: http://git.hands.com/?p=u-boot.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/patch-queue/master which has a commit for each of those patches, as applied, tacked on after the master branch. Just to make sure it's not been fixed somehow, I've just recompiled that without the last fil-sata-kludge.diff patch applied (my IRC nick is 'fil' BTW) and now it has now reverted to telling me this: =-=-=-=- Marvell ide reset Reset IDE: ide_preinit failed =-=-=-=- so that diff is required to make SATA work in the setup I have on the OpenRD Ultimate (internal SATA, no eSATA). For other one, u-boot.git (mainlined) SATA is functional, SD not yet supported. OK, so as I said, SATA only works for me if I disable the probing of the second SATA port in ide_preinit, as described here: http://git.hands.com/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=142f614593c4738fdd9c466d33eb41ef16b6a6b1 As for SD, well, it claims to initialise: Marvell mmc init SDHC found. Card desciption is: Manufacturer: 0x1e, OEM AB Product name: USD , revision 1.0 Serial number: 93331321 Manufacturing date: 8/2010 CRC:0x00, b0 = 0 mmc1 is available and then in the past, doing any reading would make it lock up, but I notice that the version I just built actually lets me boot from SD, so it might be unsupported, but it works some of the time, at least. I'll see if I can narrow down when it works for me, or not.

I've been trying to get a version of u-boot for OpenRD Ultimate that is willing to boot from all of NAND, USB, SD and SATA, and find that SD SATA is still not possible with -rc1 as packaged for Debian (and it seems that nothing in the subsequent work in the master git would help, but if people tell me that it does, I'll give that a try). I don't know which u-boot version you are referring? Once packed with board or one from u-boot.git. What I'm using is very close to this: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/u-boot.git;a=summary which is, as mentioned, the upstream (i.e. as available from denx.de) with debian patches added, the main effect of the patches being that one can then build them as a package -- this used to make more of a difference when we had a diff aimed at the OpenRD, but as you can see that was dropped by Clint on 2011-05-21 when it was merged into the upstream tree: Drop openrd-client-and-ultimate.diff (merged). I've since pulled from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git, and rebased the Debian stuff, with my tiny patch added, as seen here: http://git.hands.com/u-boot the Debian build system applies the quilt patches (that are in ./debian/patches) so to see what actually gets built, see: http://git.hands.com/?p=u-boot.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/patch-queue/master which has a commit for each of those patches, as applied, tacked on after the master branch. Just to make sure it's not been fixed somehow, I've just recompiled that without the last fil-sata-kludge.diff patch applied (my IRC nick is 'fil' BTW) and now it has now reverted to telling me this: =-=-=-=- Marvell ide reset Reset IDE: ide_preinit failed =-=-=-=- so that diff is required to make SATA work in the setup I have on the OpenRD Ultimate (internal SATA, no eSATA). For other one, u-boot.git (mainlined) SATA is functional, SD not yet supported. OK, so as I said, SATA only works for me if I disable the probing of the second SATA port in ide_preinit, as described here: http://git.hands.com/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=142f614593c4738fdd9c466d33eb41ef16b6a6b1 As for SD, well, it claims to initialise: Marvell mmc init SDHC found. Card desciption is: Manufacturer: 0x1e, OEM AB Product name: USD , revision 1.0 Serial number: 93331321 Manufacturing date: 8/2010 CRC: 0x00, b0 = 0 mmc1 is available and then in the past, doing any reading would make it lock up, but I notice that the version I just built actually lets me boot from SD, so it might be unsupported, but it works some of the time, at least. I'll see if I can narrow down when it works for me, or not.

If MVSATA_STATUS_TIMEOUT in mvsata_ide_initialize_port is ignored, SATA drive is found on the second port and I am able to read the drive's content. Inspired by what you say about timeouts, I thought perhaps increasing the timeout from 10ms to 1s might make a difference -- that worked! ... except that now, it's working regardless :-( So, I've no idea if that's really related to what's going on, because I've now gone as far as reducing the timeout to 5ms and it's _still_ working fine, so perhaps some part of the SATA subsystem was in a state that was somehow reset by waiting a bit longer for the startup once, and that's somehow fixed it. It is still working despite powering down the machine for a while, so I'm guessing whatever changed is something to do with the state of the hard drive. Sadly that means that I've now lost the ability to test this, since trying any of the versions that were previously failing now work. Anyway, Alexei, try increasing the timeout (i.e. the value being assigned to timeleft) --- if that works for you too, it seems pretty harmless, so might be appropriate for wider adoption. =-=-=-=- Meanwhile, the SD has reverted to being broken, so that ext2ls just hangs in the read, by the looks of it :-/ Cheers, Phil. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560]http://www.hands.com/ |-| HANDS.COM Ltd.http://www.uk.debian.org/ |(| 10 Onslow Gardens, South Woodford, London E18 1NE ENGLAND pgp61yUPpfCFX.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
