HI,

i'm trying the standalone hello_world.bin example on a mips/ath79/QCA9558/Tp-Link Archer-c7

it just hangs for me:

ap135> tftpboot 0x80200000 dup 1 speed 1000 *** Warning: no boot file name; using '6F01A8C0.img' Using eth1 device TFTP from server 192.168.1.100; our IP address is 192.168.1.111 Filename '6F01A8C0.img'. Load address: 0x80200000 Loading: # done

done Bytes transferred = 1536 (600 hex) ap135> go 0x80200000 ## Starting application at 0x80200000 ...

nothing happens beyond this point

am i supposed to do anything different here?

I'm afraid that standalone support on MIPS is broken since we moved from manual symbol relocation to dynamic relocation. I've pushed a fix to git://git.denx.de/u-boot-mips.git branch 'fix_standalone_v1'.

Could you retest with that branch? I'll send a patch series later.

At least it worked again on Malta board in Qemu:

$ qemu-system-mips -M malta -cpu 24Kc -m 256 -nographic -netdev user,id=ubtest,tftp=examples/standalone -device pcnet,netdev=ubtest -bios u-boot.bin
