U-Boot not working with imx6

[Andrew Gillis]

I am using an imx6 SoM from SolidRun. We have purchased a large number of
these and mostly they work fine.

I tried to update to Fedora 25 and now a few of them won't boot. (most work
fine)

All my SoMs are all supposed to be the same but some must be different.
Both worked fine with an older version of Fedora

Is there any way to just force a boot from MMC1 with no checks?

I tried to update to the u-boot from Fedora 26 just to see if that would
help. It does not.


This is what I get with the "bad" ones


U-Boot SPL 2016.09.01 (Oct 19 2016 - 14:40:29)
Trying to boot from unknown boot device
SPL: Unsupported Boot Device!
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###


The ones that boot correctly do this

It means that it's using the
default environment because no custom env
was ever saved.
try (on the devices that do not boot)
resetenv
savenv

Thanks that didn't work but it turns out the new version of u-boot doesn't
work correctly if the SRC_SBMR1 value is not set. The old version figured
it out somehow.

I modified u-boot to always boot from the MMC and now it works fine. Thanks
for your help.

So it means that you probably need to report the problem to u-boot
upstream as a normal u-boot binary should discover the right boot
device without additional tweak.
Or do you have a link to the report ?
