I assume that we will be rebasing u-boot to the just released v2015.01
for F-22? But I was wondering if there is any chance we can jump to
v2015.04 ? The reason I'm asking is that things are progressing
quite rapidly on the u-boot side, at least with Allwinner SoC support,
I've just send a pull-req for v2015.04 with the following highlights:
1) Improved sun6i (A31) support, including support for the A31s variant and
automatic assignment of a SoC serial based MAC address for ethernet
2) Full sun8i (A23) support including DRAM controller init and SPL, so now
people can boot these boards using a full FOSS solution
3) Many improvement to the graphical console support, automatic selection
of the native mode for HDMI/DVI monitors via DDC + EDID, LCD panel
support,
VGA output support
4) Preparation work for OTG controller support, together with 3) this allows
using
u-boot on tablets effortlessly. The rest of the OTG support is going
upstream
through the usb tree
And if possible I would like to see this end up in Fedora 22 :)
An initial build of 2015.04rc3 will be in rawhide tomorrow, so please
test, I've enabled a few extra new devices and I'll be reviewing the
rest of the new devices over the next week or so.
Please test, once it's settled down and we're fairly certain all the
usual suspects haven't regressed we'll move it into F-22 before beta
starts to get locked down.
I noticed that -rc4 has also been build, so I've given that a test-run
on sunxi instead:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=622061
From a sunxi pov this build looks good.
I have to take this back, it seems that this build is appending:
" console=ttyS0,115200"
To the kernel cmdline, I've just double-checked and this is not upstream
behavior, is this being done by Fedora specific patches ?
This breaks kernel output and systemd status messages output on
tty0 / the hdmi output, resulting in a blackscreen until gdm
starts.
As discussed a while back, the proper way to do is set
stdout-path in the devicetree to the serial console, then the
kernel will automatically make it a second console, next to tty0
and output messages on both, and systemd will output messages
and spawn gettys on both too.
Upstream u-boot is already setting stdout-path for all sunxi
devices, so from a sunxi pov the appending of " console=ttyS0,115200"
is a regression. If this is done for some other boards, it would
be better to either patch those boards dts files to set stdout-path,
or u-boot to set stdout-path rather then appending " console=ttyS0,115200"
and breaking video output. If you can tell me which specific boards
need work here I can whip up a patch (for others to test).
Regards,
Hans
