Kernel vanilla

[alpha_one_x86]

It was due to u boot. u boot vanilla updated, working

Nice. I’m having the exact same problem. What version u-boot are you on? I just tried updating, but I’m still at 17.10.1.

kernel after correct config:

make -j4
make -j4 modules_install
cp arch/arm64/boot/Image /boot/Image
cp arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin-singleshot.dtb /boot/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb

Armada 8040 U-Boot and ATF

U-Boot v2020.01
boot.txt:

setenv bootargs "root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rootwait rw no_console_suspend fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0"
setenv loadaddr "0x12000000"
setenv dtb_loadaddr "0x2000000"
ext2load mmc 1:2 ${loadaddr} boot/Image
ext2load mmc 1:2 ${dtb_loadaddr} boot/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb
fdt addr ${dtb_loadaddr}
booti ${loadaddr} - ${dtb_loadaddr}

And few tweek:
mkimage -A arm64 -T script -O linux -d boot.txt boot.scr
parted /dev/sdX set 2 boot on

First of all, thank you alpha one for taking your time to fix this.
This was oddly confusing and to some extent very undocumented.

I’ve even e-mailed MacchiatoBin and SolidRun to verify that the card I was buying was supported by the kernel.
Which I guess, it *kinda* is to some extent, but no one ever mentioned that you’d have to have a custom kernel/device tree to get this to work.

For what it’s worth, Arch Linux ARM users who end up here using MACCHIATObin Single Shot:
There is a single-shot driver shipped with the OS, all you need to do is..

Rename /boot/dtbs/marvel/armada-8040-mcbin-singleshot.dtb to /boot/dtbs/marvel/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb and reboot.

Without this change in dtb driver, you will get:

mvpp2 f4000000.ethernet eth0: could not attach PHY (-19)
RTNETLINK answers: No such device

Whenever you try to access or administrate the interfaces.
