Mainline U-Boot with SPI, NVMe and SATA boot support

[jja2000]

Hi @sigmaris , i am testing your u-boot 2020.10. When i boot from PCIe NVMe SSD boot process stuck @ "Booting using the fdt blob at 0x1f0000".

I've seen a few similar reports of the kernel not booting with recent mainline U-Boot, not just this build. Are you loading the u-boot env from SPI? If so, you could try removing the "usb start" from the "preboot" env variable to avoid initialising USB, as I read that having USB initialised by U-Boot might be related with the kernel not booting.

I'm running into the same problem. How do I remove usb start from the preboot env variable? Booting timeout is on 0 so I don't have the chance to mash any keys.

If I'm not mistaken, even with a timeout of 0 - there is a narrow window to stop the automatic boot process. Just had to mash keys in the UART console right as you turn your SBC on. At least that's how I was able to muck around in the uboot console.

I read that you could use escape in UART yes, I was hoping that I could do it through the videoconsole too. Time to bust out the CP2102 then
