Hi Neeraj,

Thanks for your response. We found the problem and fixed it.

The WiFi module’s VBAT supply needs 3.3V to operate but in our device tree it was powered by 1.8V from buck4 that’s why it was failing to initialize.

We changed the VBAT supply to 3.3V (ldo5) and WiFi module initialize and works OK.

We don’t need vqmmc-supply for WiFi module, leaving the strapping option pin (GPIO_7) unconnected sets it for 1.8V.

Regarding the earlier boot issue, we didn’t change anything in software. Just clean the area on board around strapping option pin (GPIO_7) may be it was shorting, not sure, but board starts booting with eMMC working at 1.8V.

Thanks again for your help.

Board has started booting up in kernel but failing to initialize WiFi module.

Its generating following error and $ ifconfig is not showing up wlan0 interface.

Hi Neeraj,

Thanks for your response, it really helped.

Setting the pull-down for RTS/CTS pins in the pinmux section fixed the problem. Bluetooth is working now.

The BT Firmware ver is correct, I’ve checked it with Murata earlier.

“BCM4345C0_003.001.025.0172.0344.1MW.hcd” is renamed to “BCM4345C0.hcd” on the device as expected by the driver.

Regards,

Hi Neeraj,

Thanks for your response.
You are right. The problem appears to be in dfu driver. I added lots of debug traces and and Flash the same eMMC image (.tsv, .stm32 etc) to RED board and our NEW board.
Flashing on RED board works OK but fail on NEW board.
Comparing the logs shows that NEW board it is failing at dfu_read() function, it is trying to download the binary file from eMMC rootfs partition Not from the virtual partition.
I tested on Cube Programmer version 2.10.

Following are some logs and code reference where these logs are captured.

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/u-boot/blob/v2020.10-stm32mp/drivers/dfu/dfu.c#L637

Note: alt 0, 1 and 5 names are different. Is this due to eMMC difference on two boards?

(ret 4096 < size 4096) => On NEW board

RED board satisfies above condition, print “UPLOAD … done” message and moves to next stage
NEW board fails above condition and stuck.

I coundn’t figure out what is the root cause of failure on NEW board.
Is some thing different in “dfu_alt_info” environment? how to update it?
Is this due to eMMC difference between two boards or something missing in dts files.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Neeraj,

We’ve received our custom board from manufacturing.
We’ve changed the USB-C (OTG) to USB-A (Device). I’ve modified the USB node (usbotg_hs) in kernel and u-boot dts files same as BRK board dts files. We are now running on SDKv3.

When I tried to flash the eMMC using STM32_Programmer_CLI (on ubuntu laptop), it failed after downloading the partition 0x03 binary.
Following logs shows USB devcice failed to re-connect and download partition 0x04.
lsusb shows usb is not in dfu mode anymore.

I also tried to flash a BRK board SD card with STM32_Programmer_CLI and same tsv file, I got exactly the same error.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Farid.

Hi carlos,
Thanks for pointing out the osd32mp1-xyz-u-boot.dtsi file. It didn’t show up in my search for files to be updated. I added this file and u-boot works ok.
New board image build is OK and I can flash and boot from both sdcard and emmc.
Thank you for your help.

[Farid Azhar]

Hi Carlos, Thanks for your response.
I verified the deploy/bootfs directory has correct extlinux.conf and dtb files.
I also tried “make bootfs” and “make ssbl” and “make clean” but its not working.
I tried both, bothing from SD card and eMMC and they both appears to be failing to start u-boot after flashing u-boot binary (u-boot-osd32mp1-xyz-trusted.stm32).

I’m able to build and flash successfully the card type “osd32mp1-red” but not the new card type “osd32mp1-xyz”, even though all the code and DTS fiels are identical except name change.

I noticed a difference in file size of u-boot binary of new card vs old card, all other file sizes are same.
Something is making the u-boot binary different then OSD32MP1-RED board and that is failing.
Is there a secure build option for u-boot that I’m missing?

804459 Jan 12 12:40 u-boot-osd32mp1-xyz-trusted.stm32 => This one does not work
807692 Jan 12 14:08 u-boot-osd32mp1-red-trusted.stm32 => This one works OK

Hi Neeraj,
Thanks for your response.
I looked at the links you provided, but didn’t get the answer I’m looking for.
We want to configure the USB2 in Client/Device mode not the Host or OTG. We’ve made the HW changes on USB-C (OTG) circuitry and want to know what changes we need to do in the Devcietree to reflect this changes.

[Farid Azhar]

Hi Neeraj,
Thanks for your response. I understood, we can not control USB peripheral via M4 core.
We have made some HW changes to the USB-C (OTG) port, since we want to use it as a Device (not OTG).
We have replaced the USB-C port wkth a USB-A port and connected it directly to SiP USB signals (USB_DM2, USB_DP2) passing through an ESD.
We have removed the USB Type-C controller (U24 – STUSB1600AQTR) and associated circuitry.
USB_DM2 -> ESD -> USB-A (Device)
USB_DP2 -> ESD -> USB-A (Device)
I beleive I have to make some changes in DeviceTree and Kernel to make it work, but not sure where to do these changes.
I would appreciate if you could give me some direction.
Thanks.

Farid.

This problem resolved after connecting the RF Antenna (https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/anaren/66089-2430/3903374).
I was not usng the Antenna before. It looks Hitron modem/router needs more strong WiFi signals to do the authentication.
