I finally got some time to test the experimental u-boot:
u-boot-imx_2016.05~rc2+dfsg0~20160423~1-1_armhf.deb
It installs and boots and recognizes 3.8GB RAM on the 4x4. So I guess I
got a real 4x4 after all!
Yeah, figured that might be the case.
I also have a cubox-i4pro (the 2GB variety). You suggested that this
would probably not work there. Would you like me to test it for you?
If that would speed up getting this patch into production, I'm willing
to give it a try!
I tested an older version of the patch on a cubox-i4pro, but if you're
willing to confirm that it also fails on yours, that's more info.
The patch is a one-liner to change from one hard-coded ram configuration
to another. I'm fairly confident that it needs actualy run-time
detection to support both models, as the various models have some
incompatible ram configuration.
In addition to run-time ram detection, solid-run's vendor u-boot branch
also has numerous ram timings that should be updated in mainline u-boot,
but actually getting working patches so far has been beyond me.
