With the whole series applied, I still see a hang at: Kernel image @ 0x80200000 [ 0x000000 - 0x3d44a0 ]
Starting kernel ...
Perhaps something to do with how my DDR is not at 0x0 -> 256MiB
but
0x80000000 -> 256MiB ?
Tom, which board is that?
These 5 patches just on top of v2013.07-rc2, the panda (non es)
(board
file) works, but Wand (device tree) is still locking up for me...
Panda (Board file boot)
load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart} ${loadaddr} zImage run mmcargs bootz ${loadaddr}
Ah-ha! It's an appended dtb vs not problem now. I can boot my beagelbone with with an appended dtb and bootz, but can't with
separate.
OK, the BOOTM_STATE_FINDOTHER state code isn't working since we don't have the rest of the header bits that the code checks for set. I've taken a few stabs at reworking things, but it's not working yet.
Simon,
do you have any ideas here? I'm starting to wonder if we don't need to revert things afterall and sort this out post release.
Yes time is running short. I did post two reverts - I wonder if they are effective for this problem?
Is the appended dtb with bootz the only problem remaining as far as we know? If so then perhaps we are close.
I will see if I can get a Beaglebone today or failing that I should be
able
to try bootz with appeneded dtb on another ARM board.
I've got a fix locally now, and I'm working on cleaning it up further. The problem is that BOOTM_STATE_FINDOTHER would never work since we aren't the "right" image types, so passed ramdisk and/or dtb didn't work. Another problem was that bootz was never consuming 'bootz', but this was OK before. I'll post a patch shortly.
OK great, thanks for looking at this. I wonder if we can collect a set of different use cases for bootz as a basis for test cases?
My biggest worry right now is, what might show up broken next? Anyone out there easily able to boot a netbsd kernel or something?
Yes, I am not really comfortable with this. I will see if I can write some sandbox tests for the other image types today and post my results. I guess this bootm code has built up over a long time and it is hard to know all the ways it is used.
Regards, Simon
