U-Boot with direct NVMe boot support for eMMC/SPI Flash
(05-13-2021, 11:44 AM)tophneal Wrote: It should, yes. IIRC Manjaro BSP uboot is mrfixit2001's. The changes in this uboot, should have already been pulled into that uboot. I believe that in order to boot from nvme, you will need to keep the uboot on the emmc still.

I will probably try the Manjaro BSP uboot first I but might risk flashing spiflash.bin.

I removed the "CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-" from pcm720s script and built:

765556 Jun  7 23:37 u-boot.itb

164910 Jun  7 23:37 idbloader.img
331776 Jun  7 23:37 idbloader-spi.img
1289844 Jun  7 23:37 spiflash.bin

My natively compiled files are all a bit smaller than the pre-built files here:
https://github.com/pcm720/u-boot-build-s...g/v2020.07

If I decide to flash my SPI, would it be less risky to flash the pre-built spiflash.bin file, given that it's worked for others here?

I just discovered these newer images. I think they are the latest but my native-build files are still smaller.
