Latest support for VC707 ?

Open weihuang opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Does the current master branch (commit 2adfbe8d383df9305fdec08633c17d248d769431) work with VC707 board? I see a branch named "linux_u500vc707devkit_config", should I use that instead of the current master branch?

I tried both above but neither boots Linux (after "Loading", it stucks at "Boot") like this:

INIT CMD0 CMD8 ACMD41 CMD58 CMD16 CMD18 LOADING BOOT

I reverted back to commit 2d533f13f2373b657885834b812fd02253a5f1db in 2016, then VC707 can boot Linux, so I am wondering:

  1. Is the support for VC707 is still alive?
  2. If VC707 support is deprecated, what is the latest commit that is confirmed to be working with VC707?

Might reading this thread useful. https://github.com/sifive/freedom/issues/116 In the middle of thread, this is the procedure it works for me.

git clone https://github.com/mcd500/freedom-u-sdk.git
cd freedom-u-sdk
git checkout -b linux_u500vc707devkit_config remotes/origin/linux_u500vc707devkit_config
git submodule update --init --recursive --force
cd buildroot
git checkout -b sifive remotes/origin/sifive
cd ..
make -j4 BOARD=vc707devkit_nopci

This will write the image to SD card.

make DISK=/dev/whereisSDcard vc707-sd-write

And the readme https://github.com/mcd500/freedom-u-sdk/tree/linux_u500vc707devkit_config for the difference between

make -j4 BOARD=vc707devkit_nopci
make -j4 BOARD=vc707devkit
