[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1809291] [NEW] ARM PL181 (mmc for Security Digital Card) not working in Ubuntu 18.10 (CMD 2, 3 timeout). The SDC driver worked fine in Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier versions but not in Ubuntu 18.10

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1809291] [NEW] ARM PL181 (mmc for Security Digital Card) not working in Ubuntu 18.10 (CMD 2, 3 timeout). The SDC driver worked fine in Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier versions but not in Ubuntu 18.10

[k.c. Wang]

Public bug reported:

ARM PL181 MMC card no longer working in qemu-system-arm in Ubuntu 18.10
The MMC driver code worked fine in Ubuntu 15.10 to 18.04.
The command to run qemu-system-arm is

    qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 256M -sd sdimage -kernel t.bin
-serial mon:stdio

During SDC initialization, SDC commands 2, 3, 9, 13, 7, 16 all timeout, 
which cause subsequent read/write commands 17/24 to fail also.

Tried both ARM versatilepb and realview-pb-a8, realview-pbx-a9 boards:
all the same.

Hi, from this report your setup is unclear to me.
Are you saying that QEMU used to work on Ubuntu 15.10/18.04 and stopped working on 18.10,
or than current QEMU works with the default Linux kernel from Ubuntu 15.10/18.04 and does not work with the 18.10 kernel?
What is the size of your 'sdimage', what is the kernel used in 't.bin'?
Please provide more info.
Thanks,
Phil.

'Hi, from this report your setup is unclear to me'.

Hi,
I am not using Linux kernel.
The t.bin image is a program built with .s and .c files using gcc-arm-none-eabi for ARM
The sdimage is just a regular 1MB file, which is used by the -sd sdmage as a virtual SDC card for
qemu-system-arm under Ubuntu 18.10
The t.bin code calls sdc_init() to initialize the PL181 mmc card, which is

int do_command(int cmd, int arg, int resp)
{
  *(u32 *)(base + ARGUMENT) = (u32)arg;
  *(u32 *)(base + COMMAND)  = 0x400 | (resp<<6) | cmd;
  delay();
}
int sdc_init()
{
  u32 RCA = (u32)0x45670000; // QEMU's hard-coded RCA
  base    = (u32)0x10005000; // PL180 base address
  printf("sdc_init : ");
  *(u32 *)(base + POWER) = (u32)0xBF; // power on
  *(u32 *)(base + CLOCK) = (u32)0xC6; // default CLK

  // send init command sequence
  do_command(0,  0,   MMC_RSP_NONE);// idle state
  do_command(55, 0,   MMC_RSP_R1);  // ready state  
  do_command(41, 1,   MMC_RSP_R3);  // argument must not be zero
  do_command(2,  0,   MMC_RSP_R2);  // ask card CID
  do_command(3,  RCA, MMC_RSP_R1);  // assign RCA
  do_command(7,  RCA, MMC_RSP_R1);  // transfer state: must use RCA
  do_command(16, 512, MMC_RSP_R1);  // set data block length

  // set interrupt MASK0 registers bits = RxAvail|TxEmpty
  *(u32 *)(base + MASK0) = (1<<21)|(1<<18); //0x00240000; 
  printf("done\n");
}
 
After each command, read the MMC status to check for errors.
Commands 2, 3, 7, 16 all failed due to timeout, indicating the MMC card does not respond.
But the PL181 does generate interrupts for read/write sector commands.
As stated before, the SAME driver code worked fine for all earlier versions of Ubuntu: 15 to 18.04

Hi -- could you please either provide a guest binary to reproduce with,
or a complete set of sources to build to produce the test binary?

I googled some code from comment #2 and got a hit for "u32 RCA = (u32)0x45670000; // QEMU's hard-coded RCA". Then I found kcwang's book: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2F978-3-319-51517-5.pdf and read:
"I am also grateful to Springer International Publishing AG for allowing me to disclose the source code of this book to the public for free, which are available at http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/~cs460/ARMhome for download". This link gives 404, however googling again "site:www.eecs.wsu.edu/~cs460" I found https://www.eecs.wsu.edu/~cs460/samples/ which thankfully provides sdc.tgz with the source files and binaries mentioned.

With the command provided in the bug description I could bisect to:

Dear Dr. KC.Wang,

Download qemu-4.2.0-rc4 source code, change hw/sd/sd.c at line 1560 like
follows and remake

(line: 1560)

if (req.arg & ACMD41_ENQUIRY_MASK) {
/*if (FIELD_EX32(sd->ocr & req.arg, OCR, VDD_VOLTAGE_WINDOW)) {*/

BTW,  here is my micro-kernel-os for arm platform based the contents
from your books, thanks !

  The command to run qemu-system-arm is

      qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 256M -sd sdimage -kernel t.bin
  -serial mon:stdio

  During SDC initialization, SDC commands 2, 3, 9, 13, 7, 16 all timeout, 
  which cause subsequent read/write commands 17/24 to fail also.

  Tried both ARM versatilepb and realview-pb-a8, realview-pbx-a9 boards:
  all the same.

[Bug 1809291] Re: SD Card not working in Ubuntu 18.10 (CMD 2, 3 timeout). The device worked fine in Ubuntu 18.04 and earlier versions but not in Ubuntu 18.10

[The Lemon Man]

The new code in Qemu is correct, the real problem is that the code [1] is trying to negotiate an invalid working voltage with CMD41.
The SD specification marks the first 15 bits as reserved (except for the 7th, that's the dual-voltage flag) meaning that compliant cards will timeout as well.

If you look closer at the source code you can see that this problem's
been patched by replacing the invalid argument 0x1 with a more
reasonable 0xFFFF, barely enough to work in the 2.7V range.

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

The test expects the card wired as SPI, so adding "-global sd-
card.spi=true" makes the test case work.

** Changed in: qemu
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
