Before we use random pointers that bcm2835_set_video_params() is supposed to populate, we should check its return value, which could indicate that the function bailed out early. This happend when there is no monitor connected.
That fixes a horrible crash when just booting with a serial console.
Can you test this patch? https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1130837/
It should fix your issue.
Yes, of course it does. Sorry that I missed that email, just replied to that as well.
By the way which version of the FW do you use?
Some older one, I guess. I downloaded some image on the day the board was announced.
Btw: I run this with ATF as armstub8.bin, which gives me PSCI, errata fixes and the ability to tweak the DT: https://github.com/Andre-ARM/arm-trusted-firmware/commits/rpi4 That works with the kernel or U-Boot as kernel8.img. The upstreaming discussion is happening on the official Gerrit (yikes!) server: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/1629

Hi,
I saw this on the RPi4 (with Andrei's v2 series), but it looks like this would happen on the other boards as well.
Cheers, Andre.
