Since you added SYSBOOT support in this series, it also might be good to mention this (and maybe how to use it) in the documentation. Sorry for again bringing up new wishes here, but due to the corrections below unfortunately we need a new version of this patch anyway. > Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org> To ease the review process it is good style to add a patch revision history below the sign-off after a "---" separator.

I definitely do.
I'm really sorry for the delay.
I've been struggling with a personal issue and urgent things that
needed to be done.
I also had another patch serie for GRUB that I needed to take care of,
which I only managed to resend yesterday after more than 1 month since
the last version.
Denis.

This usually is better addressed in a discussion before sending a new version of a patch series. Just ignoring review comments often leads to rejection of the new patch, this is waste of time for everybody, and unnecessarily delays patch merging. Of course reviewers not always have the best idea how to solve a problem. But discussing pros and cons in a direct answer to the review is much faster and easier as always sending a new version of the patches. > > If the fix sticks to precisely what was suggested, does it still > helps to include such changes in the ChangeLog too? Yes , this helps for sure. Even if there is no change at all in some patches of a series, it helps if there is a --- changes in v4: - none Soeren

This +can be done with the following commands: + +.. code-block:: none + + git clone git://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader.git + cd imx_usb_loader + make + +This will create the resulting imx_usb binary. + +When this is done, you can copy the u-boot.imx image that you built earlier +in in the imx_usb_loader directory. + +You will then need to power off the TBS2910 Matrix ARM miniPC and make sure that +the boot switch is set to "UPDATE" + +Once this is done you can connect an USB cable between the computer that will +run imx_usb and the TBS2910 Matrix ARM miniPC. + +If you also need to access the u-boot console, you will also need to connect an +UART cable between the computer running imx_usb and the TBS2910 Matrix ARM +miniPC. + +Once everything is connected you can finally power on the TBS2910 Matrix ARM +miniPC. The SoC will then jump to the serial download and wait for you. + +Finlay, you can load u-boot through USB with with the following command: + +.. code-block:: none + + sudo ./imx_usb -v u-boot.imx + +The u-boot boot messages will then appear in the serial console. + +Install u-boot on the eMMC: +--------------------------- +To install u-boot on the eMMC, you first need to boot the TBS2910 Matrix ARM +miniPC. + +Once booted, you can flash u-boot.imx to mmcblk0boot0 with the +following commands: + +.. code-block:: none + + sudo echo 0 >/sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro + sudo dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0 bs=1k seek=1; sync + +Note that the eMMC card node may vary, so adjust this as needed. + +Once the new u-boot version is installed, to boot on it you then need to power +off the TBS2910 Matrix ARM miniPC. + +Once it is off, you need make sure that the boot switch is set to "BOOT" and +that the SW6 switch is set to boot on the eMMC as described in the previous +sections. + +If you also need to access the u-boot console, you will also need to connect an +UART cable between the computer running imx_usb and the TBS2910 Matrix ARM +miniPC. + +You can then power up the TBS2910 Matrix ARM miniPC and U-Boot messages will +appear in the serial console. + +Links: +------ + - https://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/tbs2910/TBS2910-Matrix-ARM-mini-PC-SCH_rev2.1.pdf + - The schematics for the revision 2.1 of the TBS2910 Matrix ARM miniPC. + - https://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/ref_manual/IMX6DQRM.pdf - The + SoC reference manual for additional details on the BOOT_CFG registers.
