hramrachf_: the maskrom boot order - that's what should go into hardware documentation, the u-boot boot order is software-defined22:27
f_Sure22:27
f_The boot order heavily depends on "POC"22:27
f_AFAICT POC is set to 0xF on the BPI-CM4 minute sent to me, so:22:28
hramrachFrom your and others docs it seems that copying the SD card to emmc should make emmc bootable but it's not clear if the SD card also needs to be removed 22:28
f_eMMC takes precedence over SD22:30
+ jacobk (~quassel@utdpat241106.utdallas.edu)22:30
f_the bootROM tries to find a valid @AML header on eMMC first, then SD, then goes into USB download mode.22:31
hramrachso you don't have to remove the SD card to boot from emmc but have to jump through hoops to re-flash it if it does not boot22:31
f_I'm not aware of any way to recover an a311d reform22:31
f_If your reform boots something corrupted, you're screwed22:32
f_unless...22:32
hramrachif the USB port is not connected to the outside then it probably cannot be recovered22:32
f_yeah it can't be recovered22:32
hramrachwell, short some pins so it cannot be read, boot from SD22:32
f_Easier said than done.22:33
hramrachbetter boot from SD and only use emmc for data then22:33
f_Or don't use eMMC for anything \o/22:33
hramrachit may be faster depending on some unknown factors22:34
f_you could put your rootfs there and /home on an sd22:34
f_(typing from phone..)22:34
- jacobk (QUIT: Ping timeout: 240 seconds) (~quassel@utdpat241106.utdallas.edu)22:34
hramrachthe emmc tends to be optimized for better performance on most boards so if this is copied from existing design it can potentially give better io performance22:35
f_Theoretically you could recover your bpi cm4 module by connecting it to a bpi cm4io board and using an HDMI dongle to force USB download mode.22:36
f_https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/board/amlogic/boot-flow.html#hdmi-recovery-dongle22:36
f_aha22:37
f_It can also be used to boot to an SD card22:37
f_But you'd still need to make an HDMI dongle yourself.22:38
f_narmstrong wrote some docs about the dongle https://github.com/superna9999/linux/wiki/Amlogic-HDMI-Boot-Dongle22:39
f_And he sells ready dongles too.22:39
hramrachI love th term 'hdmi boot dongle' XD22:39
f_lol22:39
f_It's a hidden Amlogic feature!22:40
hramrachbut for reform I guess it's better to not recommend making the emmc bootable22:40
f_Shall I try finding it in my partial bootrom decompilation?22:40
f_hramrach: yeah, I agree.22:40
f_I once wiped my Amlogic STB's eMMC. Never used it since, risk of bricking is too high.22:41
f_Unless I use an HDMI dongle to boot22:42
hramrachUsing it for data should be fine. And for some IO benchmarks ;-)22:42
f_(I want to create one with an arduino)22:42
hramrachhm, bkeys got disconnected again :D22:43
f_hramrach: haha I boot everything from SD nowadays22:43
f_Except on BPI-CM4 which has android installed22:43
f_(it's a weird Android TV Frankenstein amlogic MBOX build)22:44
hramrachthere are those half-depth micro-SD to SD adapters that can be used to make the SD card not stick out22:44
f_well, in reality I use eMMC on all of my Amlogic boards22:45
f_except the set-top box22:45
f_all other boards I have besides the STB and cm4 have a removable eMMC module and a button to enter bootrom USB download mode22:46
f_Both of which are..quite handy.22:46
hramrachyes, the button is very useful on the boards that have one22:47
f_the removable eMMC is also handy ^^22:47
hramrachhalf-depth microsd adapter https://www.howtogeek.com/824597/expand-your-macbook-pro-storage-using-the-sd-card-slot/22:48
f_hmm22:49
hramrachI have some Chinese one that is more like 2/3 depth for some odd device where the card sticking out was way too problematic22:49
f_BTW anyone want to try a weird android Chinese MBOX tv build on their reform?22:50
f_(straight from bananapi and amlogic, lovely)22:51
f_besides, that build uses a downstream u-boot and downstream Linux as well as android 922:52
f_I wonder if it'll play nicely with the rest of the hardware ;P22:52

f_Still. I'd like to know what that is22:59
hramrachhm the Chinese also added a handle on the cheap adapters which means you could not sink it into a plain SD slot, even theoretically https://aliexpress.com/item/1005004696778593.html22:59

hramrachThe original device is also cute: HDMI emulator - or as the Chinese put it "HDMI-compatible Dummy Plug Headless Ghost Fake Display Emulator Module 4K" :D23:28
hramrachyou could tell your computer to start a desktop even without a display .. or you can get a $2 device that tells the computer that it has a display XD23:31
f_XD23:33
f_buy one, do weird hackery and use it to force USB boot on amlogic socs!23:34
hramrachthe hdmi dongle might even work with the reform - unless it requires specific i2c bus, and the reform uses different one for the display23:52
hramrachit's not well documented how ti works, exactly23:53
