Created SD card for the MitySom-5CSX development board not booting correctly

Added by Ian R over 9 years ago

Hi,
I am using the MitysSOM-5CSX Altera Cyclone V development board booting from SD card. I have built the kernel, file system, u-boot and the preloader using the instructions on the WiKi. https://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/mityarm-5cs/wiki/Building_u-Boot_and_Preloader.

The system fails to boot correctly see attached output (bult_preloader_uboot_failed.txt).
If I boot from the supplied SD card the swapping the SD card one u-boot loaded then the system appears to boot correctly, see attached (cl_uboot_swapped_user_kernel). I am fairly convinced that the problem is in the preloader or uboot.
One of the main errors is the Ethernet controller doesn’t work.

Attachments

cl_uboot_swapped_user_kernel.txt - Using critical link card to boot uboot then swap to user card to boot

Note: I am new to the Linux platform.

Thanks
Ian.

Hi Ian,

I noticed 2 things when looking through the logs, it looks like the ethernet MAC can't find the phy and the kernel panics are coming from the USB driver.

Did you change any of the PIN muxing in qsys or is this from the base project?

Hi Dan,

No changes were made to an example project located in altera/14.0/embedded/examples/hardware/cv_soc_devkit_ghrd

If that is the problem is it possible to get a copy of the preloader and uboot binaries provided on the SD card with the development kit?

Regards
Ian.

Hi Ian,

Critical Link has a project made specifically for our development kit, it can be downloaded from our git site or if you are using our provided VM it should be under /home/user/projects.

Here is a link the the 5CSX gitweb page: http://support.criticallink.com/gitweb/?p=mitysom-5cs/mitysom_5csx_dev_board.git;a=summary
and 5CSE: git://support.criticallink.com/home/git/mitysom-5cs/mitysom_5cse_dev_board.git

I am using the provided VM. I only work on the firmware but I will get our hardware engineer to generate the handover files required. Hopefully that will solve my issue.

Thanks for your help.

BR
Ian
