The errors differ but they were related to xhci I think. I'll make some test with the u-boot in ports, but after reading your experience with other rev 1.4 boards I wonder if this could be related with the eeprom firmware, if this is even possible. The xhci|pci dma bug on the 2711B0 is well known, and if it is not dealt with, you know the hell that is coming specially if your root file system is in a usb device. Also ufs+su+j seems to have a funny way to recover states with zeroed files, but that's another discussion. > If you want help, describe the context and symptoms for the failure. Just take it as a report... to the list. Regard, adr.
