Joel, Chia-Wei, could you perhaps take a look at this and help to fix
the problems that I'm seeing with this build target here?
Where does it hang? Can you attach the logs?
The hang appears to be in the timer code, where the spl hangs due to a
div by zero. When inspecting, gd->arch.timer_rate_hz is zero at this
point.
However I also noticed the cycling code introduces a symbol that ends
up in BSS. If I give cyclic_running a non-zero value it moves back
into the data section, and the SPL and u-boot proper make it all the
way through.
I might rework the code a bit, so that cyclic does not introduce new
static variables but uses a new data pointer in struct global_data
instead.
This suggests there's still something wrong with the BSS handling for
the 2600 SPL (not resolved by f6810b749f2e ("aspeed/ast2600: Fix SPL
linker script") or the follow up fix). If I use the common arm spl
linker script, the system boots.
Thanks for looking into this.
Using the GD for the cyclic data and instead of new static variables in
this cyclic code seems to fix this CI build issue AFAICT. I'll send an
updates patchset later today.
Thanks,
Stefan
Chai Wei, I think we need a different solution for placing the BSS
outside of the flash.
Thanks,
Stefan
Cheers,
Joel
What kind of debugging have you tried to date?
Cheers,
Joel
