I am guessing 0x970000 was for the 8MP based on the previous locationof ATF. Is that true? If that's the case, can I assume that this address would be 0x910000, 0x920000 and 0x960000 for the imx8mq, imx8mm and imx8mn respectively?
It was for MX8MP, but you can pick whichever address you want, since it is U-Boot that installs the SMC handlers, you are no longer forced to somehow try and accommodate custom not well fitting load address picked by some 3rd party binary blob.
I patched U-Boot's master with this series and I tried it on imx8mn_beacon and imx8mm_beacon without success. I never even saw the SPL message. I tried to focus on the Nano since the boot ROM in that one is more similar to that of the 8mp, but the behaviour was similar to that of the Nano. Are there any dependencies or should I have used a specific starting branch?
Nope . But if you don't even see output from SPL, that's where I would start looking. Do you see output from SPL without this series ? Note that bulk of this series content applies to U-Boot proper, not SPL so far.
Without the patch series the generated flash.bin file booted both the Mini and the Nano just fine. I have a pending 8m plus that I can also try, since that is what you used. I just wanted to make sure I was starting from the right place before I went too far with it.
Try and drop
[PATCH 09/10] arm: imx: imx8m: Program CSU and TZASC if PSCI provider
does SPL start then ?
I reverted 9/19 without success either. I'll try to do a git bisect to see if I can narrow it down. I might see if my employer will let me borrow a debugger. Debugging SPL is a bit challenging due to the relocation step, but I am not convinced I am geting that far since I get no text output at all.
I plan to try this on Nano at some point this month too.
I'll let you know my findings when I get some more time to test this.
