Simon,
Thanks for all your great and pioneering effort on verified u-boot. I am benefiting a lot for your work. I am trying to implement verified u-boot on Tegra TX2.
Based on the wonderful documentation that you provided, I was able to successfully create a fit image and got the dtb and kernel to boot. But I ran into some issues when I incorporated ramdisk into the fit image. Initially, it would get stuck on “Starting kernel …”. Then I modified the environment as follows setenv initrd_high 8effffff setenv fdt_high 8effffff
Initially it was set to fdt_high=ffffffffffffffff initrd_high=ffffffffffffffff
I haven’t quite understood why this change caused the kernel to load. Is it because initrd_high=ffffffffffffffff overwrites the relocatable u-boot code?
Anyway after this change, I got the kernel to boot, but with one caveat – the RAMDISK couldn’t be loaded.
Booting using the fdt blob at 0x920989cc Loading Kernel Image ... OK reserving fdt memory region: addr=80000000 size=10000 Loading Ramdisk to 8eab1000, end 8efffaa2 ... OK Loading Device Tree to 000000008ea5a000, end 000000008eab0fd2 ... OK
Starting kernel ...
[ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x100
However, I saw the message [ 5.403174] RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
I would be grateful if you could provide me some guidance on what might be causing this issue or how to go about resolving this.
Are you saying that it works correctly without verified boot?
Normally U-Boot should pass a pointer to the ramdisk to linux. That should not change with vboot.
