quartz64-a - on-board SATA port problems

[manning]

Hi all,



I've been having problems getting the on-board SATA port on the Quartz64 Model A working, and I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.  Thanks in advance for any help.



Hardware

• Quartz64 model A
  
• Current generation HDD
  
• SATA cable
  
• 5A power supply
  
• Pine64 board to 2x SATA power splitter cable
  

Software

• Latest Manjaro image for the quartz64-a, running kernel 6.1.12-1-MANJARO-ARM
  
• Manual edits to the device tree as per the wiki: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64#SATA_on_model_A
  

Validating the manual edits:

Code:

$ ls /boot/dtbs/rockchip/ | grep quartz64
rk3566-quartz64-a.dtb
rk3566-quartz64-a-sata.dtb
rk3566-quartz64-b.dtb

Code:

$ fdtget /boot/dtbs/rockchip/rk3566-quartz64-a-sata.dtb /usb@fd000000 status
disabled

Code:

$ fdtget /boot/dtbs/rockchip/rk3566-quartz64-a-sata.dtb /sata@fc400000 status
okay

Code:

$ cat /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
LABEL Manjaro ARM
KERNEL /Image
FDT /dtbs/rockchip/rk3566-quartz64-a-sata.dtb
APPEND initrd=/initramfs-linux.img console=ttyS2,1500000 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xfe660000 root=PARTUUID=<REDACTED> rw rootwait audit=0 splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles

Tests performed

• Tested SATA cable in another system, confirmed good; tested with other known-good SATA cables
  
• Tested a 2 port SATA to PCIe adaptor card (the Pine64 one), which works perfectly on this board
  
• Tested multiple known-good HDDs one at a time; all work via the PCIe card, none appear on the on-board SATA port
  
• Tested running 3 drives simultaneously; those plugged into the PCIe adapter work, but not on the on-board SATA port.  Have cycled which drive was plugged into which SATA port, for the same result
  

These test results imply to me it's most likely a problem with the software setup, with a small chance the hardware is problematic.
