BTW, is there plan to move 4.4 kernel?
I think so. I'd like leave this question to John or Amit to answer.
The Reference Platform is already on 4.4 with the 16.03 release. So now we just need to make sure it works with u-boot. It was only tested with UEFI for 16.03 but u-boot-support is planned for 16.06.
Some updates for uboot booting on Hikey:
- I tried below images, which can boot successfully with uboot: ARM-TF: https://github.com/96boards/arm-trusted-firmware.git, branch: hikey U-BOOT: git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git KERNEL: https://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux; branch: hikey-mainline-rebase
- If I change to use kernel branch 4.1 for android, then cannot boot:
ARM-TF: https://github.com/96boards/arm-trusted-firmware.git, branch: hikey U-BOOT: git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git KERNEL: https://github.com/96boards-hikey/linux; branch: android-hikey-linaro-4.1
When jump from uboot to kernel, there have no output. I also checked has enabled earlycon. So Amit, John, do you have any suggestion for this?
- I cannot reproduce Liming's panic;
- There have one potential issue for uboot. Uboot will overwrite dtb's memory node in the function *arch_fixup_fdt()*; so if we want to reserve memory regions in memory node, it doesn't work after the overwriting by uboot.
I will look into and try to fix it; If you have any suggestion let me know.
Thanks, Leo Yan
