Unfortunatly not. The altera branch is from an older version and i had
problems booting mainline. So i went the other way round and used the altera
git release and cherry picked the patches of which i thought that would be
needed for switching to normal world. This works but as soon as i print out
something in u-boot ("Booting linux") or if thats commented out, booting linux
i get a access violation. So i either get in the prefetch or abort handler. As
i don't know where the TrustZone registers are nor what they do, i have a hard
time moving on with this. So these patches are just very experimental and got
me as far as booting into early linux. I have the suscpicion that the serial
port, and probably other hw is only writable from secure world so one would
need a monitor running to have access to this hw (If it can not be switched to
be accessible from normal world). Further with the stack pointer not set up in
normal world i have no idea how the versatile express should work without
setting the stack.
Best regards
Tim
