Hey guys, I'm facing a problem trying to boot first optee and then the linux kernel on a custom board based around an i.MX6q SoM. Besides some information about overlapped physical memory optee boots fine and hands over to the normal world where the kernel is being decompressed. According to the comments in the optee source, memory regions of the same type can overlap and will be merged. A longfile of the boot process can be found at: https://pastebin.com/6PtttRPW
Afterwards, 1 in 10 times the kernel would boot. I suspect that optee configures the memory somehow funny so after relocation of the kernel it can't execute the kernel code. I suspect, since the relocation is happening randomly once in a while it will boot. As suggested in the IRC channel, I should use early boot for optee. Sadly, I can't figure out where and how to tell the barebox pbl to first boot optee. I found the early boot option in the config of barebox. As far as I understand, the PBL will first boot optee instead of barebox. As soon as optee hands over to the normal world, barebox will execute and start the kernel. The documentation (https://www.barebox.org/doc/latest/user/optee.html) tells me, my board needs to call start_optee_early() with a valid tee and fdt. I don't quite get where the transition between PBL and barebox happens thus where this call should happen. Also I can't wrap my head around at where to put optee and the FDT. Right now they are located on the emmc, obviously I can't access the fs at this stage, so I'd need to link them to the barebox binary and pass the relative addresses? Could someone pls give me some hints at where to look next since I'm completely out of useful ideas. Thank you BS _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
