hi Stany,

The difference is that you print out assertion log.

Reset not supported on this platform
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

You can add show_boot_progress() function in your bsp file to find out something.
#define CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
void show_boot_progress(int progress)
{
    printf("Boot reached stage %d\n", progress);
}

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.

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,....

    bge    loop1

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?
