Hi I would like to use mainline kernel 5.4
are there any chance that we will see PCIE part integrated soon?
I know that I can cherry pick this 
https://git.linaro.org/people/manivannan.sadhasivam/96b-common.git/log/?h=hikey970_pcie
but it will be nice to have it.
Or are there any problems?
I am building(on board)
git clone --single-branch --branch hikey970_pcie manivannan.sadhasivam/96b-common.git - [no description] hikey970
with this defconfig https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bigcountry907/linux/hikey970-v4.9-Debain-Working/arch/arm64/configs/hikey970_defconfig
and this
CONFIG_PCIE_DW=y
CONFIG_PCIE_DW_HOST=y
CONFIG_PCIE_DW_PLAT=y
CONFIG_PCIE_DW_PLAT_HOST=y
CONFIG_PCI_HOST_COMMON=y
CONFIG_PCI_HOST_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_PCI_HISI=y
CONFIG_PCI_KIRIN=y
but I still don’t see anything with sudo lspci -v

Any idea how can I fix it ?@Mani
so I added

CONFIG_PCIEAER=y
CONFIG_PCI_SYSCALL=y
CONFIG_PCIE_ECRC=y
CONFIG_PCIE_DPC=y
CONFIG_PCIE_PTM=y
And now I have some more

git clone --single-branch --branch hikey970-v4.9-Debain-Working https://github.com/Bigcountry907/linux.git -b hikey970-v4.9-Debain-Working
ok it started to work after I did some update
http://people.linaro.org/~manivannan.sadhasivam/hikey970_images/
sudo python hisi-idt.py -d /dev/ttyUSB0 --img1 ./sec_usb_xloader.img --img2 ./sec_usb_xloader2.img --img3 ./l-loader.bin
$ sudo fastboot flash fastboot l-loader.bin
$ sudo fastboot flash fip fip.bin
@xlazom00 Sorry for not responding earlier. And you did the right thing. Those bootloader changes are necessary for enabling the LDO of the PCI-E switch. The commit is here: https://github.com/Mani-Sadhasivam/OpenPlatformPkg/commit/32e59f8f6848b09fddaf549c08b1363a66abc400
Mainlining PCI-E changes for hikey970 requires some documentation of the register settings used. Since we don’t have any open doc for that, I don’t think there is any road ahead for mainlining.
@Mani
When I do
sudo fastboot flash fastboot l-loader.bin
sudo fastboot flash fip fip.bin
from your http://people.linaro.org/~manivannan.sadhasivam/hikey970_images/
I can’t control GRUB with arrows only enter is working fine and arrows are switched to v and ^ characters
any idea ?
everything was fine with
files from https://github.com/Bigcountry907/Bionic-Builder/tree/master/Install
I haven’t experienced any issues like this. But you can try changing the keyboard layout in grub to see if it fixes.
@Mani
From time to time I have a issue with booting OS. It looks like some deadlock. And sometimes network can’t connect 
So it looks like some pci driver problem
I added coherent_pool=4M to kernel boot
And I cherry picked your changes to 5.4 kernel
Btw I am looking on pci driver and it is dw based driver. And kirin pci driver looks like it don’t reuse a lots of code from dw sources. quallcom drivers looks better
There are like lots functions that can be reused I think so the kirin pci driver should be much smaller
Can the binaries from Mani be written to their respective partitions using dd when logged in on the hikey970?
I ask because that would allow updates while running linux on the Hikey970.
Also it helps if we don’t need an external PC for upgrading the bootloaders etc.
Second question: is there a repository (github?) with a 5.x kernel that has all the patches required to build a kernel for the hikey970?
Best regards,
Jan Rinze.
using the binaries from Mani I cannot use the side USB-C for serial.
I does give output but does not accept any input.
@janrinze THe Hikey970 board uses XR21V1410 UART to USB converter chip. The driver for this chip is not upstreamed and hence some distros don’t package it. So, for typing onto the console, you need to use ttyXRUSB0 port and not ttyACM0 which can only be provided by XRUSB serial driver. There are some sources available on net which you can try to compile and install it as a module on your host system.
I will try to see if this driver can be submitted for mainline to ease the process.
I can use serial console with a 1.8 v USB to serial converter.
That allows access to the boot process and grub.
However the USB-C port does show the output but it’s not possible to type anything.
I have not been able to find out why some other people can use the USB-C port on the side of the hikey970 for bi-directional traffic.
There is a lot of confusion around this issue. This is not a kernel issue. The bootloaders run way before any kernel runs.
Hi Mani, I have just experienced the same issue with xlazom00 after flashing the fip.bin. Either the binary file you provide or the file complied from your sources code works fine with grub.
It seems the grub can detect up and down characters, and stop counting down. However, other keys or key-bindings works fine. For example, I can still switch grub menu by using ctrl+p and ctrl+n.
Any idea?
