Bug 1213805

A more proper fix would be rather to put the module into the installer image, IMO.

Or does this driver have to be built-in by some other reason, not just because of the missing driver at the installation time?

Just for my understanding. You are booting from uSD and trying to install
on USB drive, is this correct?

Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Ivan & Takashi

Thanks.

I'm booting from USB and trying to install on the eMMC flash memory. During Linux boot the USB memory device fail to detect and hence "Loading Installation System (1/6) etc..." does not occur. The installation steps then ask to load the files through network.

I've tested with option “CONFIG_RESET_RZG2L_USBPHY_CTRL" with option "y" & "m" using linux kernel 6.4.3. The option "y" detects the USB device ok during the linux boot, but option "m" not. I've added the logs for reference.

This driver “CONFIG_RESET_RZG2L_USBPHY_CTRL" have to be build-in to fix this issue.

While making this module build-in perhaps will fix the issue, 
but we prefer to keep as much as possible drivers as loadable modules. 
Think of kernel image size.

It looks like what could fix installation issue in this case is
to add reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl module to installer initrd.

What is put in initrd for openSUSE installation images is specified here [1].

Hi Ivan

Thanks for your reply.

Yes. I agree. Adding "reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl" module to installer initrd will fix this issue.

Please update when this update will be available in the daily installer so that we will test them and update you.

Best Regards
John

The question to me would be whether to add all modules from kernel/drivers/reset/
or just this Renesas module?

Any insights?

Github repo is publicly available. Everyone could submit pull request ;-)

According bug description only reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl is required.

I am aware of that. My question was more general. Let me rephrase:

Given that some of these reset drivers are compiled in, some are modules - would
it be beneficial to *other* hardware to have them all included or is just the
Renesas driver useful during installation?

Hi Ivan

>> Github repo is publicly available. Everyone could submit pull request ;-)

I was expecting this module to be added in the installer iso image inside initrd so that I'm able to install OpenSUSE on Renesas RZ/G2L target boards.

How will I add this module on the installer iso image?

John

If I should take decision, I will be conservative and add only this module.
They are so many other modules which are critical, but we can't be sure
until someone ask for them.

My understanding is that.

1) Module name have to be added to [1].
2) Once pull request is accepted new installation-images package will be 
   created.
3) Once new version of installation-images is released "build servers"
   will be updated and will start using this new package, which will
   produce ISO images and reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl module will be inside initrd.

John, please, could you test this [1] ISO image.

It has reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl inside installer initrd. This will
show as whether it is just this module missing or there are more.

I've added the module:

Hi Ivan

Thanks for the iso image with reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl added.

The usb driver is working ok now with this iso image. Thanks.

But I see this iso image is smaller. The Loading installation system (x/6) not present with this iso installer. (But this works ok on a sd card installer when I get the iso image size about 3.5GB).

Is it possible to get an iso image with the installation files present to test please. 

Best Regards
John

Glad that this worked.

Image was created using openSUSE-Tumbleweed-NET-aarch64.iso 
and only for testing that adding only reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl
module is enough to resolve the issue at hand. 

I don't know what you mean by "(x/6) not present". NET iso contain
minimal set of application, but you can install anything that
you need after this, by normal way "zypper in ..."

Once new installation images tool is released you will have
all ISO's, so you can test whatever you want. 

When this happens is beyond my knowledge.

Thanks Ivan.

>>I don't know what you mean by "(x/6) not present". NET iso contain

I was referring the full installer iso image for testing.

Dear OpenSUSE support team,

Please update when this fix is available (adding reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl.ko into the full installer ISO image). Thanks.

Best Regards
John

Hi Ivan

This ticket is pending to add the reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl.ko into openSUSE iso installation images.

Any update about reset-rzg2l-usbphy-ctrl.ko added into the installation image.

Alternatively, is it possible to configure “CONFIG_RESET_RZG2L_USBPHY_CTRL=y” for us to allow installing OpenSUSE on Renesas RZ platform.

Best Regards
John

Sorry, Tumbleweed releases are out of my realm of influence :-)

Hi John,

aarch64 Tumbleweed ISOs are unfortunately not updated as frequent as
the x86 media.

If you need it for testing, you can fix the ISO yourself and add the
required module(s) following the steps here:
