Hi,
ddr_size 0xc0000000 and loc_name gxm_q201_3g are undefined, look in v4_v6.c.
That is the reason.

Regards

42

@bumerc Right, this is missing. I will add it.
@TheChief79 Just set the aml_dt manual to ā€œgxm_q201_3gā€:

fw_setenv aml_dt gxm_q201_3g

Verify with:

fw_printenv aml_dt

And rebootā€¦

@TheChief79 In this binary 3G RAM and multi DTB should work!

Thank you, will check that later in the evening or after the weekend. But i think it will still crash, because i had never success with that alternative u-boots. Maybe there is a bug somewhere or maybe my device is broken. But with stock u-boot it works. Can something in u-boot crash the kernel?

45

Normaly u-boot loads the kernel. After this the crashes are kernel related. Because u-boot is doing nothing (suspended). When you power off or going to suspend you will leave the kernel and enter u-boot again.

46

Hello Portisch,

I am not familiar with embedded suspend and my U-Boot knowledge is outdated, but do you mean that some U-Boot code is running during suspend?

Then it may be possible to simulate something like RTC/ACPI WakeUp and resume when a recording is scheduled.

I know this is completely useless for this class of devices, but sound like fun =:-)

I will have a look at your fine patches in GitHub on weekend.

@Portisch

But i never touch the kernel, so i thought it could something RAM or CPU related. For Kodi i do nothing. It runs from SD card.
I just take the image from Freaktab (runs smooth without u-boot update) and replace u-boot in that image with the AMLogic Customization Tool and use the Burning Tool to upload that image.

48

Sure, u-boot is running when in suspend and/or power off state. Itā€™s running in an endless loop to check if a wakeup call is happen.
u-boot is including a wakeup timer already. A maximum of 4294967296ms should be possible. This is around 49 daysā€¦ But this feature is right now unused in the CoreELEC linux kernel.

I have done this also this way. I used the image: aml_7.1.2_s912_q9377-S912_mac-20180409.img
Exchanged the u-boot.bin from the image with the customization tool and burned it.
The methode with the second SD card is just fasterā€¦ :wink:

49 
	unsigned int time_out = readl(AO_DEBUG_REG2);

It seems kernel should just put seconds to wakeup to AO_DEBUG_REG2 before suspend?

50

desired miliseconds / 100 == value of AO_DEBUG_REG2

I talked to @Ray and he may will implement this feature in future.
There have to be a an extra ā€œPower Down/Suspendā€ option in the Kodi power menu.

51

Thanks. iā€™ve tested you last u-boot from sdcard and it works.
MINIX bootlogo didnā€™t show, so i suposed that it works. But any of feature added to u-boot works.

52

Realy? Can you make a UART log of the u-boot booting? I thought this wonā€™t work because of the missing BL32 (signed image). You use Netflix and/or Amazon with the Widevine-DRM?

53

I had no time to test it again.
Iā€™m trying to build last version but my linux level is limited. Please, can u build new version from sources? i will tes t in sd card mode. Thanks.

54

Thanks a lot for your patches. Wake Up seem to work fine. Set 100 to AO_DEBUG_REG2 by

devmem 0xc81000a8 32 100

seems to sleep for 10s.

But at sleep time LED is off. How I can control LED status during suspend?

Thanks a lot

55

These patches sound promising, but links are not working and I cannot find corresponding commits in the U-Boot repo https://github.com/CoreELEC/u-boot/commits/khadas-vims-nougat

Thanks for any help

Both LEDs are off when you power down the box. On suspend the red led is on.

And your wake-up is correct with 100 = 100 * 100ms == 10000ms == 10s.

iā€™m trying to build uboot following your wiki instrucctions, but always fail. Please, can u build new version with all new commits? i want to test in minix. iā€™m very frustated with hdmi cec (make invisible all others HDMI CEC Systems )

58

If you using a newer build than the last release use this config: cecconfig = cec3f,
Not anymore cec1f.

I donā€™t have time before end of next week to upload a new release.

Post your output when build fails.

59

Here is the log:. I dont undertsand the error because i can build coreelec without problems.
