olinuxino config list uboot command is missing T2-OLinuXino-LIME-e8Gs16M-I

[Oxolotol]

Hello all,

We have a T2-OLinuXino-LIME-e8Gs16M-IND board but we are not able to get a successful boot to linux.  Likely because T2-OLinuXino-LIME-e8Gs16M-IND is not available from the "olinuxino config" uboot command. (the 'e4' version is available see below)

When is the new 'e8 board is going to be supported from the "olinuxino config" command? or does any one know a work around for this?


We have tried:

From Uboot "olinuxino config list"  command, the closest thing we can select is T2-OLinuXino-LIME-e4Gs16M-IND  (notice e4 instead of e8).  We select and test with.
    olinuxino config write 9734 a
    olinuxino config info
    reset

uboot reports:
    Device 0 unknown device
    ethernet@1c50000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiate to complete ........ TIMEOUT !
    could not initialize PHY ethrenet@1c50000


MMC, where we are attempting to actually boot from, reports
    MMC: no card present.
    MMC: no card present.

we have only 1 MMC card, but of course is 8M instead of 4M as mentioned in the config command.

We found that by downloading

A20-OLinuXino-buster-minimal-20200731-114326.img.7z   2020-08-03 19:24   154M   

the code from

    http://images.olimex.com/release/a20/


the boot fails, but at the uboot prompt  enter the commands

    olinuxino config write 9734 i3 xxxx yyyy
    reset

where xxxx and yyyyy are the serial number and mac (see the olinuxino command help

this time the boot to linux succeeds.

Thanks for the notice, we would add it in the next release. The developers had been notified.

Glad you figured a workaround to get it booting. Did you workaround also solved the issues with the memory size and the Ethernet?
