Hi All,
I'm sorry to tell you that I failed to boot linux kernel with the
mainline u-boot on rk3288 board(both evb-rk3288 & fennec-rk3288). It was
stuck in cleanup_before_linux() before jumping to linux, and the
boot_stage_flag is BOOTSTAGE_ID_BOOTM_HANDOFF.
## Current stack ends at 0x7df638b0 * kernel: cmdline image address =
0x02000000
## No init Ramdisk
ramdisk start = 0x00000000, ramdisk end = 0x00000000
## No Flattened Device Tree
Continuing to boot without FDT
Initial value for argc=3
Final value for argc=3
using: ATAGS
## Transferring control to Linux (at address 02000000)...
Starting kernel ...
With the further investigation, it never returnned back from
invalidate_dcache_all(). I mean that I can't reach stage 4 as below.
cleanup_before_linux
==>cleanup_before_linux_select
==>1.disable_interrupts
==>2.dcache_disable
==>3.invalidate_dcache_all
==>4.icache_disable
Debug further, invalidate_dcache_all invalidate all cache one-by-one
which cache type is DATA_ONLY, INSTRUCTION_DATA or UNIFIED. And
invalidate way from one set to another set in order. The problem is that
the PC ran away in invalidate way loop [cache level L1!!!].
I add some serial output code in __v7_flush_dcache_all to figure out the
bog.
I expect:
Print the value of r9 in sequence, e.g 0x7f, 0x7e, 0x7d..... 0x01, 0x00
(hex)
In fact, print the value of r9 in sequence at first, but print
unexpected value afterwards. e.g 0x7f, 0x7e, 0x7d, ..,0x73, 0x40,
0x85,....

ENDPROC(__v7_flush_dcache_all)
I don't have the jtag, hence I can't address the current pc. I have no
doubt that if any glitches in __v7_flush_dcache_all, I reviewed several
times, also copy kernel's implement to here. :-( No effect.
A more interesting thing is that Sandy had report it. He and I have
similar problem. Everything work fine after I applied his patches, or
disable dcache(active CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF).
@Stany, I'm sorry that I disable dcache during hack.. That was a mistake:-(
@Simon & hieko,
Can you boot linux with the mainline u-boot? have a try?
