02:09 <ndufresne> xdarklight, thanks for the help, it works now, I ended stealing the setup from gxm_q200 board (which was the same as all board with RGMII setup), and the P_PREG_ETH_REG0 ended up as 0x1621

02:12 <ndufresne> today my colleague krisman suggested that I can probably chainboot mainline uboot later on, if I make it work, I guess I could a) submit this, but also have proper pxeboot

02:12 <ndufresne> but let's start with that for now ;-P

03:08 <ndufresne> funny, so even though a q201 u-boot was loaded, it seems like this device matches a q200 instead (external phy 1GB, update button, both are nearly identical otherwise

20:30 <xdarklight> ndufresne: Amlogic's xyy0 and xyy1 boards were always pretty similar in the past: the only difference was RMII PHY (or built-in 10/100 Mbit/s PHY) vs. RGMII. I don't have the schematics of these boards but I assume that apart from the Ethernet setup (and maybe the number of DDR3/4 chips) they're virtually identical

20:31 <xdarklight> ndufresne: great to hear that it works now :)

20:34 <ndufresne> xdarklight, to be honest though, I'm not sure our mapping for the 201 (with rmii phy) is even correct, the more I read is that there exist variants of the ref board, both have internal and external phy

20:35 <ndufresne> and then there exist 1g, 2g, 3g variant, but that it seems that linux can detect automatically

20:35 <ndufresne> there is someone saying that the q201 has a minor revision of the wifi chip, but that should not affect the software either

20:35 <ndufresne> so basically, I'm using q200 simply because the mapping matches better my board ;-P

20:37 <xdarklight> :)

20:37 <ndufresne> yesterday I also tried and compare some q200 and q201 vendor dtb, and there was nearly no difference ..

20:38 <ndufresne> the vendor q201 dtb that was shipped with my tv box has rgmii setup

20:38 <ndufresne> let's admit for a newbie like be it's confusing ;-P

20:39 <xdarklight> typically they only differ in reserved memory sizes, Ethernet, wifi / Bluetooth power/reset GPIOs and USB VBUS GPIOs. and indeed, it's all but straight forward

20:39 <ndufresne> but what I understand now, is that TV Box vendor will do as less as possible, they are mostly plastic vendor

20:40 <xdarklight> yep

20:40 <ndufresne> speaking off, I should make some wholes to expose the two usb board that are hidden by the plastic case ;-P

20:41 <ndufresne> * usb ports

20:41 <xdarklight> that's, um, let's call it "creative"

20:42 <xdarklight> I know some wifi routers which are missing the USB connector (not soldered). but a connector which is just hidden by the plastic case is new to me :P

20:47 <ndufresne> for the reference, https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3126605/+4240

20:50 <xdarklight> the requirement was: "we need to change the existing design and remove two USB ports". and here you go, the solution they chose fulfills the requirement, is cheap and "works fine" ;)
