Is it possible to boot a mainline (or more recent) u-boot with sunxi kernel 3.4?
I tried to boot 2014.10 with no success. Then I saw the discussion around OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT and from what I have seen it should be possible? As I have seen the patches for OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT are not in mainline u-boot, so I switched to fork "u-boot-sunxi", master branch from denx git where the patches are included. I added +S:OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT=y to the A20-OLinuXino_MICRO_defconfig file, but still it is not working. I only see the last message from U-Boot: Starting kernel ... and then it stops. The same kernel boots fine with the Sunxi U-Boot. Versions used: Linux Sunxi Kernel 3.4 latest commit 9a1cd034181af628d4145202289e1993c1687db6 Working: U-Boot Sunxi, 23.09.2014, commit ee425f94b488a4304c136a171bb8fdec0d835032 Not Working: U-Boot u-boot-sunxi fork, latest master commit 44fd5914fb08ffcd96c9db7e448787f1d2aed801 Any ideas why this is not working (or why it should´t?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
