Not able to boot from EMMC on STM32MP157DAC PANIC at PC : 0x2ffec98b

Hi,

We have a custom carrier board based on STM32MP157DAC. We have built a custom yocto image.

• Yocto Version: Mickledore
• Machine: stm32mp15-disco
• SoM: STM32MP157DAC
• Distro: openstlinux-weston
• Linux Kernel: 6.1.82-stm32mp-r2-r0
• EMMC : EMMC04G-MT32-FBGA153

I was able to flash emmc image in DFU mode (000) after making uboot device tree changes I have done same changes in tfa device tree too. But when trying to boot from EMMC (010) It says SDMMC2 init fails and stops.

Hi,

Below is my device tree configuration Am i missing something or do i need to configure any thing else like clock or something.

&sdmmc2 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&sdmmc2_b4_pins_a &sdmmc2_d47_pins_c>;
non-removable;
no-sd;
no-sdio;
st,neg-edge;
bus-width = <8>;
vqmmc-supply = <&vdd>;
mmc-ddr-3_3v;
status = "okay";
};

sdmmc2_b4_pins_a: sdmmc2-b4-0 {
pins1 {
u-boot,dm-pre-reloc;
u-boot,dm-spl;

pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('B', 14, AF9)>, /* SDMMC2_D0 */
<STM32_PINMUX('B', 15, AF9)>, /* SDMMC2_D1 */
<STM32_PINMUX('B', 3, AF9)>, /* SDMMC2_D2 */
<STM32_PINMUX('B', 4, AF9)>, /* SDMMC2_D3 */
<STM32_PINMUX('G', 6, AF10)>; /* SDMMC2_CMD */
slew-rate = <1>;
drive-push-pull;
bias-pull-up;
};
pins2 {
u-boot,dm-pre-reloc;
u-boot,dm-spl;

pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('E', 3, AF9)>; /* SDMMC2_CK */
slew-rate = <2>;
drive-push-pull;
bias-pull-up;
};
};
sdmmc2_d47_pins_c: sdmmc2-d47-2 {
pins {
pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('A', 8, AF9)>, /* SDMMC2_D4 */
<STM32_PINMUX('A', 15, AF9)>, /* SDMMC2_D5 */
<STM32_PINMUX('C', 6, AF10)>, /* SDMMC2_D6 */
<STM32_PINMUX('C', 7, AF10)>; /* SDMMC2_D7 */
slew-rate = <1>;
drive-push-pull;
bias-pull-up;
};
};

Do let me know why this is happening and how we can fix this issue? Do we need to check any voltages in hardware?

Thanks.

Hi @adnan_pasha 

maybe check if there is some activities on the SDMMC2_CLK and SDMMC2_CMD. A clock might be missing.

Hi @PatrickF 

I did check out this post it says after applying the patch the issue got resolved.
But I dont have any regulator_core.c file in /drivers/regulator/regulator_core.c path

But I do have it in the file at /drivers/st/regulator/regulator_core.c.

TFA version i am using is v2.8.15-stm32mp-r2-r0.

After commenting out the line return -EIO; in driver file /drivers/mmc/mmc.c in mmc_device_state() function
We are able to get emmc boot to work properly.

if (retries == 0) {
ERROR("CMD13 failed after %d retries\n",
MMC_DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES);
//return -EIO;
}

Could you please let me know what this does and why it's was halting the boot process.


Thanks.

Hi,

maybe your eMMC need more time to answer CMD13

Hi,

I have reverted the changes I made and changed the max number of retries from 5 to 10 in the driver file. We are able to get emmc boot properly without error or panic message.

Thanks
