Hi all! just to let you know I got all the neccessary pieces together now to boot an unmodified kernel with a sort-of mainline U-Boot with some hacks on the open source hardware laptop Teres-I
https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop https://linux-sunxi.org/Olimex_Teres-A64 My first goal was to use the same device tree for U-Boot and kernel, and getting the hardware I²C to work was the biggest task. It allows the use of i2c0 to enable the built-in LCD in the boot loader. As a weird side effect, this mysteriously breaks the WiFi; any pointers welcome! With the LCD working, U-Boot provides an EFI frame buffer to the kernel, and the kernel messages appear until user land is started. This is all work in progress and I need to find out how the hacks could fit into the upstream trees cleanly, but I thought you might be interested in the progress already made.
