Hello Daniel,

Thank you for the update.

- modules.tgz is not generated for iwg20m (for bbb it is): I have to
investigate why but I think it is not a big problem since they are
included in the file system images. Probably the reason is just that
shmobile_defconfig has modules disabled.

Correct :)

I have noticed that the shmobile_defconfig from the official linux-cip repo is
quite different from the one at https://github.com/renesas-rz/renesas-cip.

Previously I tested the official kernel using a ramdisk and it was successful so I
didn't notice the difference. But today I've tried to boot the official kernel
with the SD Card file system and it didn't work.

One problem was that EXT3/4 wasn't enabled. I decided to use renesas-cip's
shmobile_defconfig to build the official linux-cip kernel. However, I got a build
error because https://gitlab.com/cip-project/linux-cip/blob/linux-4.4.y-
cip/drivers/usb/host/xhci-rcar.c
references a firmware called "r8a779x_usb3_v1.dlmem" which wasn't
available on the official kernel. I could solve that either by copying the
firmware from renesas-cip or by commenting out the corresponding
configuration flags.

I managed to build the official kernel but still I couldn't get it to boot from the
SD Card.
# By the way, I noticed that the mmc numbering also changed (mmcblk0p2
was working on renesas-cip kernel as the 2nd partition of the SD Card, but for
the official kernel that was a partition on the eMMC and the kernel could not
recognize mmcblk2p2).

I wonder if this problem comes from the device tree. On the renesas-cip
repository there was a r8a7743-iwgm.dts file that worked fine, but on the
official repository the one with the closest name was r8a7743-iwg20d-q7.dts.
This one worked fine when I boot from a ramdisk but not when I boot from
the SD Card.

We are still working on upstream work on mainline and backport work on official cip-kernel.
So, I think the official repo not work now for Renesas board.

Should I use renesas-cip kernel again?
I noticed that the new versions are been merged. I was using renesas-cip's
v4.4.69-cip4 but I can see a newer branch called v4.4.83-cip8

The version 4.4.83-cip8 is not working now, we detected some issues and still working on it.
The older versions work OK, please use them.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hope to see you there!
