Hello

I'm happily using R13 or S13 with this SBC but when I connect SSD to its SATA 3.0 port, the drive is not attached for some reason.
Code: 
root@myespresso:~ # dmesg | grep -i ahci
ahci0: <AHCI SATA controller> mem 0xe0000-0xe0177 irq 27 on simplebus1
ahci0: AHCI v1.30 with 1 6Gbps ports, Port Multiplier supported with FBS
ahcich0: <AHCI channel> at channel 0 on ahci0
device_attach: ahcich0 attach returned 6

I think the kernel driver and everything else should be fine. SATA support is implemented as AHCI generic.

Can anyone confirm SATA works on his ESPRESSObin SBC with FreeBSD ?

PS: I've attached C14 "boot -v" boot log.

T.

Yes some people have this working. It seems v7 is better supported.

Are you using version 5 or v7. If unknown does it have a molex power connector on board?
Amount of RAM too?

Is it new or used? I ask because SPI populated or not.
If a used board the SPI Rom might have older u-boot on it. So you need to short out SPI on boot to bypass.
 
Sorry. I missed your problem.

Try booting to u-boot prompt and type sata info to check the drive.

You might need to add a small u-boot script to help the SATA detection.
 
Here is what my Hummingboards setup looks like.
You must catch u-boot at the right time:

Code: 
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=> sata
AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 1 ports 3 Gbps 0x1 impl SATA mode

So from here you type boot and it starts up.

On Hummingboard I don't need a script to start SATA but BananaPi-M1 I do.
All the script does is run the two above commands.

u-boot env.txt

The aarch64 (ARM64) u-boot was found from FreeBSD ports in sysutils/u-boot-*. There was some information how to install it. Sometimes the U-Boot is used with uEnv.txt or similar file to configure it. The U-Boot reads the file and sets variables. At least in Armbian Linux. Is there any options to...

I think the script also gives the SATA drive a chance to start.
You are essentially adding a slight delay to u-boot to allow the drive to initialize.
mkimage is found in sysutils/u-boot-tools

First though you must should make sure the drive is showing up manually from the u-boot command prompt.
 
Many thanks , I will test these ASAP.

Its truly v5 Espressobin. Having it quite some time already.
Just recently, I repurposed it -- did u-boot update (Armbian version) and u-boot env default.

Well , I did the u-boot prompt things:

    disk1:    234441648 X 512 blocks


boot
this disk1 is my SSD , great

However when FreeBSD boots , I still see ahci channel empty and no SSD attached .
Any ideas please ?

PS: I;ve attached the new boot log , using boot.scr with "scsi scan" works

It appears that AHCI is working.
ahci0: <AHCI SATA controller> mem 0xe0000-0xe0177 irq 27 on simplebus1
ahci0: AHCI v1.30 with 1 6Gbps ports, Port Multiplier supported with FBS
ahcich0: <AHCI channel> at channel 0 on ahci0
device_attach: ahcich0 attach returned 6

I dunno why the drive is not showing.

Do you have a file structure on the mSATA showing as disk1?

I would flash only u-boot to microSD and FreeBSD Generic Arm Image to mSATA
You might need to fiddle with these settings from loader prompt if successful.
set currdev=
set rottdev=
The problem with this approach is you are using Armbian u-boot. It might not recognize the FreeBSD loader early.

This is the approach I took on RockPro64 and Hummingboard. u-boot kicker on microSD and rest on SATA/NVMe.
 
I don't have an device_attach line for my ahci in dmesg.
Maybe it doesn't spit one out if all good.
ahci0: <i.MX6 Integrated AHCI controller> mem 0x2200000-0x2203fff irq 14 on simplebus0
ahci0: AHCI v1.30 with 1 3Gbps ports, Port Multiplier supported
ahcich0: <AHCI channel> at channel 0 on ahci0
ada0 at ahcich0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0

So "returned 6" is an error state. I learned something new today.

disk0 = SD card with FreeBSD installed
disk1 = now empty , SATA SSD.

I don't really intent to boot from the SATA SSD, if its that what you understood. I do like to boot from SD/USB whatever and use the SATA SSD as data-disk.

I thought would be a good to check if the SATA is present also within bootloader environment.

ESPRESSObit has got SPI and mine loads u-boot from it. If I understand correctly, your workarounds at RockPro64/Hummingboard succeeded to boot EFI-loader and the rest from SATA with using u-boot load from SD card...thinking, if there's a chance EFI-loader drops/stops my SATA device because its not using it and so its not detected/attached by ahci kernel drivers...

Anything non-0 is bad, and gets that message printed. Sadly, even looking at the boot -v output above, there are no hints as to why it happened.

Though it does not seem to be working even on the level above the OS:

yes, its wierd, u-boot sata command fails to scan it , however scsi command succeeds .... could this be a sign of HW incompatibility with AHCI kernel divers ??

There's been a patch to kernel which adds FDT tag of "armada-3700-ahci" to ahci_generic kernel driver. There must be a reason why. I'm gonna ask the commiter , if it really was an Espressobin like board or what HW.

ada0 at ahcich0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 should occur but device_attach: ahcich0 attach returned 6 shows up instead.

On the other side, I've quickly tested OpenBSD install disk and Armbian boot disk. Both systems detect my SATA SSD nicely.

No there are two different ways disk drives show up in u-boot. SCSI or SATA.
I wouldn't give it much thought.
I am surprised that both are baked into Armbian u-boot configuration.
Most u-boot board config files use either one or the other.

On BananaPi-M1 u-boot uses SCSI and Hummingboard uses SATA.
They don't offer both disk tools. Only the one that works for that platform.

Yes that is the right direction.
There does not seem to be any SOC based driver in use.
I was thinking something like <Marvell AHCI controller>.

Yours:
ahci0: <AHCI SATA controller> mem 0xe0000-0xe0177 irq 27 on simplebus1

Mine:
ahci0: <i.MX6 Integrated AHCI controller> mem 0x2200000-0x2203fff irq 14 on simplebus0
 
Phishfry, thanks for the explanation of u-boot SATA/SCSI,

I've actually built my own OPNsense the last year. Its using FreeBSD 13 and FreeBSD 13 aarch64 EFI binary, so it is about the same as booting aarch64 GENERIC.
Using my third ESPRESSObin (with Armbian u-boot too). Anyway I've checked my logs of it and result is the same misbehaviour of AHCI.

I also think, if its worth to test the original ESPRESSObin u-boot, however it might not be able to boot aarch64 EFI, as mentioned here https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm64/ESPRESSObin[\url]
 
I actually ended up getting this to work with that above OPNSense image.
I ditched my v5 Espressobin boards and got v7 boards.
What a difference. Boot Jumpers actually work right.
I was able to flash SPI from uboot 2017 to uboot 2020 with Armbian flash files.

I used Ganbold image from above as foundation as it works.
Wiped root partition and stuffed 13.2-RELEASE inside. Kept EFI but freshened.
Modified fstab to sata disk. It finally works.
Using 32GB SATA DOM booting from Armbian SPI flash.

I feel like I have taken two steps forward.
 
I am trying to get yrzr opnsense image to boot on my Espressobinv7 with a sata ssd plugged in, I am having trouble with it. Been able to boot the image off an mmc sd card without any issues. But when trying to boot off the ssd it appears to boot halfway but then stop when trying to boot the GEOM managed disk which doesn't show up. I've found out that my issue may be related that i am booting off u-boot Armbian 2022.04 and that appears to only have 'scsi' option that reads my ssd but not 'sata' ? is this correct? Or is there any way i can force the ssd to be detected when trying to boot via 'scsi'? Am I doing this all wrong? any insight will be much appreciated. Output is below.

looks like ahci driver fails to attach
if it works (the ahci driver) when booting from emmc then it means that some initialization done by u-boot is not done by the ahci driver so it depends on u-boot version
or there are differences in the dtb
the best way would be to add the missing bits to the driver/dtb

i am booting off u-boot Armbian 2022.04 and that appears to only have 'scsi' option

SCSI is SATA disk. I don't know why there are two different disk subsytems with uboot.

I recommend you flash the 2022 flash-image from Armbian to your SPI.
make sure you use the correct image.

There seems to be different dtb's floating around.

I recommend you compile the one from our source tree DTS.
All models are there.

In depth Device Tree Questions

I have some fundamental questions understanding the Device Tree syntax. Question One: Device Node numbers. Like this snippet: uart@20000000 { interrupt-parent = < 1 >; }; Where is the number 20000000 coming from? Where is this assigned from? I don't see it in the dts...

I had trouble with the OS on the eMMC interfering so I used u-boot to erased it from u-boot.

mmc erase 0 2000000

Also bubt is backwards from normal source device/destination device.

bubt flash-image.bin spi usb

I thought I already spi flashed the latest armbian, isn't this right?
