Hello Chris,

And so li'll I have requested (namely this: console=ttySC0)! It does the magic... It works, man! Works with:
uname -a
Linux 192.168.15.189 4.4.120-cip20-rt13-dirty #2 SMP Tue Mar 13 15:21:30 GMT 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

Within one day I set the whole iwg2x device type and iwg20m device forU-Boot and Lava V2:
vagrant@stretch:~$ dpkg -l lava-server lava-dispatcher
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-=======================-================-================-===================================================

ii lava-dispatcher 2018.2.post2-1+s amd64 Linaro Automated Validation Architecture dispatcher
ii lava-server 2018.2-1+stretch all Linaro Automated Validation Architecture server
vagrant@stretch:~$

And I missed the one very small step for me, but very big for my Alter Ego Confidence... ;-)

And, yes, I did NOT try it with U-Boot, I went straight to VBox VM, to Lava 2018.2 and set all the ingredients (3 of them) in the iwg2x device
type definition, namely in iwg2x.jinja2:

{% set console_device = console_device|default('ttySC0') %}
{% set baud_rate = baud_rate|default(115200) %}
{% set device_type = "iwg2x" %}
{% set bootm_kernel_addr = '0x40007fc0' %}
{% set bootm_ramdisk_addr = '0x41000000' %}
{% set bootm_dtb_addr = '0x40f00000' %}
{% set bootm_low = '0x41e00000' %}
{% set bootm_size = '0x1000000' %}
...

It works (with difficulties) with the natively generated r8a7743-iwg20d-q7.dtb'.

Wow! Now, I am for last few days (few hours per day) trying (very unsuccessfully, sorry) to set Daniel's Sangorrin's: kas build
kas-iwg20m.yml in my Vbox Fedora 24 generated environment, since I desperately need TRUE initramfs in order to make iwg20m rt-tests
with cyclic (hackbench assisting in there)!

Here is the log of the native Lava shell test commands (the most important is uname -a):

Here is the iwg20m smoking test log:

I guess, Robert/Agustin Benito, we should close CIP testing issue #167, shouldn't we? ;-)

Have all nice weekend!

Hello Zoran,



Sorry for the slow response.



Could you try setting the following in u-boot?



setenv bootm_low '0x41e00000'

setenv bootm_size '0x1000000'





Looking at https://pastebin.com/AjRdTZKx, line 268, you are setting:

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=/dev/ram0 ip=dhcp';



I’m guessing the console should be set to ttySC0.





If you still see no output from the Kernel, have you tried enabling low-level debugging?



CONFIG_DEBUG_LL, CONFIG_DEBUG_RCAR_GEN2_SCIF0, CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK





Kind regards, Chris

Hello Augustin,

I have update on iwg20m... Straight to the newest kernel 4.4.120-cip20-rt13! ;-)

I spent today whole day home alone to play with board (called iW-RainboW-G20D), based on iwg20m which was given to me by Jan
(Kiszka).

It has RENESAS r8a7743 (armv7h, if I am not mistaken), and it is quite an interesting board, I must admit).

The task: make it compliant with CIP VM Lava testing in one (1) one single day, since I do not have too much experience with this
board.

This one is initial which was used by Lava 2017.7 bring-up.

I was able today to do the following:

[1] Add passthrough to the Vagrantfile, so I can have iwg20m ser2net on the VM;

[2] Create the new device-type in Lava: /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/device-types/iwg2x.jinja

[3] Add this device type to Lava using Django management, with several tests to see how the device type iwg2x behaves;

[4] Add the concrete device to device type: /etc/lava-server/dispatcher-config/devices/iwg20m.jinja;

[5] Handled/prepared the newest kernel CIP 4.4.120-cip20 (released last week, by Daniel Wagner);

v4.4.120-cip20-iwg20m/v4.4.120-cip20-rt13
https://pastebin.com/gv0cg3PD



Now, after some triages, and some .jinja2 fixes, some u-boot adjustments in the device-type script, I was able to run the Lava .yaml
test on raminitfs.

It behaves correctly (local/private network is the problem here) till it needs to start kernel, which it tftp-ed correctly from
localhost://8010 --- where kernel ingredients are located.

But, it fails since it looses a mac/physical address, it seems. So, something is not correct with ETH100/ETH1000 driver, since I see these
problems popping up again, and again, and again... But my dhcpd daemon is very robust, and it keeps pounding/adding lost address to
the ETH on Renesas board.

The .yaml test I am running to test this board is here: job_name:
local test of ramdisk test on iwg20
https://pastebin.com/8ngYQzha



And the Lava initramfs test results are captured here: https://pastebin.com/AjRdTZKx

Please, note the point of failure:

Any guidance/help from Renesas people and others on The Far East using this iwg20m technology is appreciated and welcome!

Thank you,

Zoran Stojsavljevic

Hi Yoshi,

since you usually provide an update of the technical work done within CIP in
your talks, here are some bullet points you can add in tomorrow's talk at ELC
if you like.

## Kernel maintenance

* CIP 4.4.120-cip20 released last week.

Link: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/linux-cip

Comment: Ben Hutchings, from Codethink, releases a kernel version every 4 to 6
weeks approx., depending on the amount and relevance of upstream patches
landing on 4.4 LTS. Ben H. collaborates in the 4.4 LTS process directly.

* Effort in ensuring Meltdown and Spectre fixes land in the CIP kernel and CIP
Members are informed about the current situation.

* Review of platform specific backported patches, specially from Renesas
platforms.

Comment: Renesas backports patches to 4.4 from mainline that are reviewed and
merged into CIP kernel when appropriate.

* CIP 4.4.120-cip120-rt13 released

Link: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wagi/linux-cip-rt.git

Comment: I would name Daniel Wagner, Siemens, as maintainer and say a few
words about the release process if you have time.

## Kernel testing

* B@D is being updated to include the latest kernelci

Link: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/board-at-desk-single-dev/
merge_requests/53

* Work in progress to support Renesas iw20gm in B@D in the coming weeks.

Link: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/testing/issues/167

* Improvements in networking and Vagrant configurations.

* Next steps: deployment through containers.

* B@D description and deploy.

Description: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/
ciptestingboardatdesksingledevfeaturepage

Deploy: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/
ciptestingboardatdeskdingledevdeployment#b-d-deployment-method-2-building-vm-
from-scratch-using-vagrant-15

Any additional feedback from participants on this list is welcome.
