Hello Tim,
you are listed as maintainer of i.MX8MM Venice board in U-Boot.
I am currently working on LTO support for U-Boot, and I have encountered a problem with i.MX8MM Venice board: when LTO is enabled, the linking process for SPL does not throw away relocation information, making the resulting SPL image too big for that board.
I have added a patch that discards symbols from .rela* section to my patch series, but I would like you to test whether the patch series works for your board and does not break anything.
Could you please clone https://github.com/elkablo/u-boot branch lto, build for imx8mm_venice_defconfig and test whether it boots on your board and maybe test some U-Boot commands (disk reads, kernel booting, ...)? If it does not work, could you also please check with current U-Boot master, to see if it got broken with my patches or with something different?
Marek,
Your lto branch does not boot - I don't get anything after the SPL banner. U-Boot master shows the same problem so some regression has taken place.
There should be several other IMX8 boards using SPL that show the same issue I would think?
I will have to bisect to find the breakage.
Best regards,
Tim
