What's the problem this solves, and how much memory is on the system in question? bootm_size should be ensuring we never relocate it outside of the first 256MB of memory. Thanks!

The logic within "common/image-fdt.c" lead me down this path. The addition of this fairly common environment variable allowed my OMAP34XX board to boot the kernel without an appended devicetree. When I use the variable to trigger 'disable_relocation', as the code indicates, the kernel boot behavior is what I expect. I spent a few hours following the code path to a single line edition that works.

Ah, hmmm. Can you please try setting bootm_size, as an experiment, to 0x0a000000 ? I wonder if, since you have 256MB of memory we're not putting the DTB into where U-Boot is and we stomp on it a bit, causing Linux to boot, see an invalid DTB and not have a console available to tell us. Thanks!

Ah, hmmm. Can you please try setting bootm_size, as an experiment, to 0x0a000000 ? I wonder if, since you have 256MB of memory we're not putting the DTB into where U-Boot is and we stomp on it a bit, causing Linux to boot, see an invalid DTB and not have a console available to tell us. Thanks!
That seemed to do it.

What's the problem this solves, and how much memory is on the system in question? bootm_size should be ensuring we never relocate it outside of the first 256MB of memory. Thanks!
The logic within "common/image-fdt.c" lead me down this path. The addition of this fairly common environment variable allowed my OMAP34XX board to boot the kernel without an appended devicetree. When I use the variable to trigger 'disable_relocation', as the code indicates, the kernel boot behavior is what I expect. I spent a few hours following the code path to a single line edition that works.

I'm not quite sure about the best way forward here. Can you do a 'bdinfo' on your EVM and see how much memory U-Boot is taking up while running? Thanks!

What's the problem this solves, and how much memory is on the system in question? bootm_size should be ensuring we never relocate it outside of the first 256MB of memory. Thanks!
The logic within "common/image-fdt.c" lead me down this path. The addition of this fairly common environment variable allowed my OMAP34XX board to boot the kernel without an appended devicetree. When I use the variable to trigger 'disable_relocation', as the code indicates, the kernel boot behavior is what I expect. I spent a few hours following the code path to a single line edition that works.

Ah, hmmm. Can you please try setting bootm_size, as an experiment, to 0x0a000000 ? I wonder if, since you have 256MB of memory we're not putting the DTB into where U-Boot is and we stomp on it a bit, causing Linux to boot, see an invalid DTB and not have a console available to tell us. Thanks!
That seemed to do it.
Ah, good!

Is there a reason disabling FDT relocation is not a valid path? It would at least keep things localized to a given board. I also like knowing that 'fdtaddr' is the same throughout the startup process. I just want to know if there is some rule that is being broken with 'fdt_high=0xffffffff'. It appears to exist by design.

Ah, hmmm. Can you please try setting bootm_size, as an experiment, to 0x0a000000 ? I wonder if, since you have 256MB of memory we're not putting the DTB into where U-Boot is and we stomp on it a bit, causing Linux to boot, see an invalid DTB and not have a console available to tell us. Thanks!

I'm not quite sure about the best way forward here. Can you do a 'bdinfo' on your EVM and see how much memory U-Boot is taking up while running? Thanks!
Is there a reason disabling FDT relocation is not a valid path? It would at least keep things localized to a given board. I also like knowing that 'fdtaddr' is the same throughout the startup process. I just want to know if there is some rule that is being broken with 'fdt_high=0xffffffff'. It appears to exist by design.
The downside to stopping relocation of the fdt (and of the ramdisk via initrd_high=0xffffffff) is that you introduce the chance (more or less, based on where you load everything else) that the device tree gets stomped on by the kernel, esp on ARM (not aarch64 where this has been addressed) because we don't know the size of the kernel BSS. For this release, OK, lets go and do what you've got now, stopping fdt relocation. What I would like to see is some logic added to the boot code to see what the top of bootm_size runs into where U-Boot itself is, and then rounding bootm_size down (and warning the user).

The logic within "common/image-fdt.c" lead me down this path. The addition of this fairly common environment variable allowed my OMAP34XX board to boot the kernel without an appended devicetree. When I use the variable to trigger 'disable_relocation', as the
code
indicates, the kernel boot behavior is what I expect. I spent a
few
hours following the code path to a single line edition that
works.
