SoPine SPI booting

[mundey]

I've a working v2019.01 u-boot with SPI and network here if anyone is interested: https://github.com/janwillies/u-boot/rel...19.01-cb-1

Hi jcw,

I have been trying to do sopine network boot, but stuck without much help and then i hit your release page. I had managed to do u-boot flashing to spi and trying to boot from network (tftp+nfs) still on sopine baseboard. The commands provided were really useful in the release page.

With the provided commands i managed to load files, (trying armbian 5.19.10). however once kernel loads, i get the nfs error message in a loop:
Can you please suggest which distribution were you trying which shows examples in the release page?
-boot commands-
setenv prefix sopine-1
setenv serverip 10.1.1.76
setenv bootargs console=${console} earlyprintk rw root=/dev/nfs rootfstype=nfs nfsroot=10.1.1.76:/mnt/data/nfs/device-files/sopine-1 rootwait

tftpboot ${kernel_addr_r} ${prefix}/Image
tftpboot ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${prefix}/uInitrd
tftpboot ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-sopine-baseboard.dtb

booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}

I managed to boot armbian debian bullseye. Had to compile the kernel with nfs-root support.
