[U-Boot] arm: socfpga: unable to boot cyclone5 devkit or SocKit

[Dinh Nguyen]

Hi,

I'm seeking advice with an observation that I'm seeing on the Cyclone5
devkit/sockit.

I'm working with U-Boot version v2018.05-rc1. Building the
u-boot-with-spl.sfp, then writing the sfp file to the 0xa2 partition on
the SD card, does not boot, all I get is this:

U-Boot SPL 2018.05-rc1 (Apr 10 2018 - 13:03:48 -0500)

U-Boot SPL 2018.05-rc1 (Apr 10 2018 - 13:03:48 -0500)

U-Boot SPL 2018.05-rc1 (Apr 10 2018 - 13:03:48 -0500)


This issue doesn't happen at all on the DE0 Nano SoC board. I compared
the defconfig and came across this. If I remove these config options in
the socfpga_sockit_defconfig, then SPL -> U-Boot works fine.

-CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_MACRONIX=y
-CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_SPANSION=y
-CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_STMICRO=y

I'll continue to debug of course, but was wondering if anyone might have
a better idea as to what could be happening, I'd appreciate the insight.
