<ldevulder_> narmstrong, u-boot on emmc is booting on my khadas vim :) but I just need to install my openSUSE with MBR instead GPT, because putting u-boot here breaks GPT :-(

<lvrp16> ldevulder: VIM has SPI flash
<lvrp16> ldevulder: you can shove u-boot on it and then have eMMC be GPT
<ldevulder> lvrp16, VIM2 yes but VIM I'm not sure
<lvrp16> oh :(
<lvrp16> This will have SPI flash as well although it's S805X: https://libre.computer/products/boards/aml-s805x-ac/
<ldevulder> lvrp16, but it works by using MBR instead of GPT on openSUSE Tumbleweed, I just had to do the partitioning myself, as EFI vfat partition is needed for GRUB2 EFI boot
<ldevulder> lvrp16, S905X supports SPI flash yes, but it is not implemented on VIM board, only on VIM2
<lvrp16> ldevulder: hehe, hack the ef partition code
<ldevulder> but I can also use a small SD card with U-Boot on it and use GPT on eMMC
<ldevulder> but like narmstrong said, BootROM read the bootloader code at a specific offset on eMMC, so don't have choice, but that's not too bad, I'm now able to install my OS like a standard PC and use my VIM like a small PC
<lvrp16> never played with opensuse, i should bootstrap an image one of these days
<ldevulder> I'm working on the opensuse wiki page to document fresh installation
<lvrp16> where is the cleanest bootstrapping doc?
<lvrp16> and can you bootstrap an opensuse image from ubuntu/debian without too much hassle?
<ldevulder> I dont know from ubuntu/debian, no specific opensuse image at that time (maybe in the future if I can do one)
<ldevulder> I use the DVD installation method, doc can be found here: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Khadas_Vim, but that's still WiP, I'm writing it now :)
<ldevulder> libretech-cc has SPI flash, so it should be easier on it, but I don't have one to test
<lvrp16> libretech-cc does not. only the upcoming ac version has SPI flash
<lvrp16> SPI flash simply would not fit
<lvrp16> we didn't really try hard enough to get SPI on it
<ldevulder> lvrp16, ok I misread so :)
<lvrp16> S805X-AC was designed with EBBR in mind
<lvrp16> so it needs SPI
<ldevulder> what are the difference between S905X and S905X SoC?
<ldevulder> according to google not much differences, lower frequency, maybe some more internal differences but I dont think so
<lvrp16> S805X vs S905X? smaller package, S805X doesn't have MicroSD card, lower clocks
<lvrp16> everything else is pretty similar, 1080P only instead of 4K60
<ldevulder> lvrp16, 1080P is enough for a small arm64 board :)
<ldevulder> lvrp16, the new libretech board looks good :)
<lvrp16> ldevulder: yep, it was interesting to design since it is a little small
<lvrp16> pcb is back this week, i'll throw up pictures once the pcba is done
<ldevulder> lvrp16, thx :)

<narmstrong> ldevulder: indeed I’m too late but you figured everything out
<narmstrong> Would it be hard to have the same support for the libretech-cc ?
<narmstrong> On opensuse
<ldevulder> narmstrong, not too complicated I think, should work exactly like VIM, but I don't have a libretech-cc to test, but if you have time you can follow the vim wiki page on opensuse wiki to validate
<ldevulder> I just need to finish it, should be ok for tomorrow
<narmstrong> ldevulder: I can if you show what to test yes
<ldevulder> narmstrong, you will just have to follow this page: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Khadas_Vim
<ldevulder> I will tell you when all instructions will be on the wiki page
<ldevulder> and a libretech-cc page could be added after your validation

<ldevulder> narmstrong, one question about dd commands in https://github.com/BayLibre/u-boot#install-on-emmc: why erasing the first 512 sectors of mmblk devices and then dd'ing u-boot.bin after?
<narmstrong> ldevulder: you can omit it, it was to erase remaining data of previous bad u-boot install

<ldevulder> narmstrong, ok I understand
<ldevulder> narmstrong, my wiki page is ok, at least *should* be ok :)

<narmstrong> ldevulder: cool! Indeed procedure should be exactly the same, except the libretech-cc has optional eMMC
<narmstrong> I will try the install tomorrow
<ldevulder> narmstrong, ok, let me know if something goes wrong, I will after add an entry for libretech-cc on the opensuse wiki
<narmstrong> Ok great !
