===== update Uboot =====
The emmc-command is integrated in uboot since September 29th 2017 (version: "U-Boot 2014.04-rc1 (Oct 16 2017 - 19:33:23)")
if you want to create new SD-Card (Image) you have to write partitiontable and some additional headers, see [[storage#sd-card|here]] for more
compile U-Boot from [[https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-R2-bsp|official GitHub]] [[https://github.com/frank-w/bpi-r2-uboot|my GitHub]]
official way to install is described on Github using "bpi-update -c bpi-r2.conf"
sudo dd if=/dev/sdx of=bpi-r2-first10M.img bs=1M count=10 #Backup of first 10MB
sudo dd if=BPI-R2-720P-2k.img of=/dev/sdx bs=1k seek=2 count=1022 #unzipped img!
sudo dd of=/dev/sdx if=bpi-r2-first10M.img bs=1M count=10 #restore first 10MB (on problems)
actual compiled uboot can be found on my [[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15Y5Y3NAOwg_IMmN3k6hdb7pAQj9oTVTl|gDrive]]
alternative: flash only uboot (after option 2 in build.sh, don't forget backup):
sudo dd of=/dev/sdb if=u-boot-mt/u-boot.bin bs=1k seek=320
there are also patches for 2018-11 [[https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=73809|uboot-patchwork]], which i have applied in a [[https://github.com/frank-w/u-boot/tree/uboot-bpir2|uboot-fork]]. more details [[http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/add-latest-u-boot-support-for-bpi-r2-bpi-r64-not-yet/6938|here in r2-forum]]
==== uboot 2018-11 ====
Mediatek have released patches for BPI-R2...these i have imported to a uboot-fork and configured (build.sh, config, default-Environment, ...): https://github.com/frank-w/u-boot
kernel from SD-Card can be loaded (emmc should also work), ethernet-driver is also built in
uboot-environment is saved (saveenv-command) to boot-device
if you want to load default environment instead of the saved one:
env default -a
printenv

BPI-IoT> printenv
...
boot10=mmc init; run boot_normal; bootm
...
bootmenu_2=3. Boot Linux from SD.=run boot10
...
run boot10
===== set Kernel-filename =====
in BPI-BOOT/bananapi/bpi-r2/linux/uEnv.txt change the param kernel:
#kernel=uImage
#kernel=uImage_4.14.33
kernel=uImage_4.9.92
with this you can have multiple kernel-files on disk to fast switch back to older one (if you have different filenames). For multiboot code of uboot has to be changed...
The uEnv.txt is not loaded before displaying the boot-menu, it is loaded after "Boot Linux from SD" is selected.
===== manually load uEnv.txt =====
uEnv.txt will be loaded after "Boot from SD" is selected. here the manual way from console
#Boot from emmc：
enter to uboot-console；
execute “mmc init 0”
execute “setenv partition 0:1”
execute “run loadbootenv”
execute “env import -t ${scriptaddr} ${filesize} ”
#Boot from SD:
enter to uboot-console；
execute “mmc init 1”
execute “setenv partition 1:1”
execute “run loadbootenv”
execute “env import -t ${scriptaddr} ${filesize} ”
Source: http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/how-to-extend-the-uboot-menu/5415/7
because of "loadenv" does not exist in upstream u-boot, these commands/variable-definitions are needed to get same result (load uEnv.txt + kernel):
setenv scriptaddr 0x83000000
setenv bpi bananapi
setenv board bpi-r2
setenv service linux
setenv device mmc
setenv partition 1:1
setenv bootenv uEnv.txt
setenv loadbootenv fatload ${device} ${partition} ${scriptaddr} ${bpi}/${board}/${service}/${bootenv}
run loadbootenv
#not define importenv before run loadbootenv (or at least with escaped $ on filesize-var)!
setenv importenv env import -t ${scriptaddr} \${filesize}
run importenv
printenv
setenv newboot "fatload ${device} ${partition} ${loadaddr} ${bpi}/${board}/${service}/\${kernel}; bootm"
run newboot
#check for boot-device (emmc/sd)
setenv checksd fatinfo ${device} 1:1
setenv selectmmc "if run checksd; then echo Boot from SD ; setenv partition 1:1;else echo Boot from eMMC; setenv partition 0:1 ; fi;"
