Pine64 Star64
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
U-Boot for the Star64 uses the same U-Boot binaries as the VisionFive 2 board.
|
|
In U-Boot SPL the actual board is detected and the device-tree patched
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Device-tree selection
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot will set variable $fdtfile to starfive/jh7110-pine64-star64.dtb.
|
|
|
|
To overrule this selection the variable can be set manually and saved in the
|
|
environment
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
env set fdtfile my_device-tree.dtb
|
|
env save
|
|
|
|
or the configuration variable CONFIG_DEFAULT_FDT_FILE can be used to set to
|
|
provide a default value.
|
|
|
|
Serial Number and MAC address issues
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
U-Boot requires valid EEPROM data to determine which board-specific fix-up to
|
|
apply at runtime. This affects the size of memory initialized, network mac
|
|
address numbering, and tuning of the network PHYs.
|
|
|
|
The Star64 does not currently ship with unique serial numbers per-device.
|
|
Devices follow a pattern where the last mac address bytes are a sum of 0x7558
|
|
and the serial number (lower port mac0), or a sum of 0x7559 and the serial
|
|
number (upper port mac1).
|
|
|
|
As tested there are several 4gb model units where the serial number and network
|
|
mac addresses collide with other devices (serial
|
|
``STAR64V1-2310-D004E000-00000005``, MACs ``6c:cf:39:00:75:61``,
|
|
``6c:cf:39:00:75:62``)
|
|
|
|
Some early Star64 boards shipped with an uninitialized EEPROM and no write
|
|
protect pull-up resistor in place. Later units of all 4gb and 8gb models
|
|
sharing the same serial number in EEPROM data will have this problem that the
|
|
network mac addresses are alike between different models and this may be
|
|
corrected by defeating the write protect resistor to write new values. As an
|
|
alternative to this, it may be worked around by overriding the mac addresses
|
|
via U-Boot environment variables.
|
|
|
|
It is required for any unit having uninitialized EEPROM and recommended for
|
|
all later Star64 4gb model units (not properly serialized) to have decided on a
|
|
new 6-byte serial number. This serial number should be high enough to
|
|
avoid collision with other JH7110 boards and low enough not to overflow i.e.
|
|
between ``cafe00`` and ``f00d00``.

Update EEPROM values
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
1. Prepare EEPROM data in memory
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
## When there is no error to load existing data:
|
|
mac read_eeprom
|
|
|
|
## When there is an error to load non-existing data:
|
|
# "DRAM: Not a StarFive EEPROM data format - magic error"
|
|
mac initialize
|
|
|
|
2. Set Star64 values
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
## Common values
|
|
mac vendor PINE64
|
|
mac pcb_revision c1
|
|
mac bom_revision A
|
|
|
|
## Device-specific values
|
|
# Year 2023 week 10 production date, 8GB DRAM, optional eMMC, serial cdef01
|
|
mac product_id STAR64V1-2310-D008E000-00cdef01
|
|
|
|
# Last three bytes mac0: 0x7558 + serial number 0xcdef01
|
|
mac mac0_address 6c:cf:39:ce:64:59
|
|
|
|
# Last three bytes mac1: 0x7559 + serial number 0xcdef01
|
|
mac mac1_address 6c:cf:39:ce:64:5a
|
|
|
|
3. Defeat write-protect pull-up resistor (if installed) and write to EEPROM
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
mac write_eeprom
|
|
|
|
Set Variables in U-Boot
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Changing just the serial number will not alter your MAC address
|
|
|
|
The MAC addresses may be "set" as follows by writing as a custom config to SPI
|
|
(Change the last 3 bytes of MAC addreses as appropriate):
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
env set serial# STAR64V1-2310-D008E000-00cdef01
|
|
env set ethaddr 6c:cf:39:ce:64:59
|
|
env set eth1addr 6c:cf:39:ce:64:5a
|
|
env save
|
|
reset
