Description Kevin Fenzi 2021-03-09 00:19:30 UTC 
Trying to boot a 3GB pinephone fails. 

ON serial: 

U-Boot SPL 2021.04-rc2 (Feb 16 2021 - 00:00:00 +0000)
DRAM: 4096 MiB
Trying to boot from MMC1

and then it hangs. :( 

I think we need: 

https://gitlab.com/pine64-org/u-boot/-/commit/3a91c39966b6e5a63bfc5d11c765ad856a6f5f50.patch

Happy to test scratch builds or whatever. 

There is also:

for wifi, but not sure the driver is upstream yet.

There's an upstream discussion ongoing about that with a slightly tweaked patch set I was going to pull in shortly, just waiting to see where some of the discussion goes:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-February/442396.html

Was planning on pulling that in for F-34 anyway, plus likely a few other bits for u-boot.

That's actually already a version of that upstream but there is no matching driver as yet (also unrelated to u-boot ;-)

Cool. Feel free to keep this to track it, or close if it's being tracked elsewhere, just wanted to make sure it was known. :) 

Thanks!
