Multi-platform kernel - Support for Freescale iMX6 (Wandboard/Utilite)
by Michael Tremer 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Hello Brad, hello list, I got a couple of minutes to play around with our multi platform kernel on the Utilite device. Since I have a workaround for the u-boot issues, I am able to load and execute a kernel and debug that. As expected there are some issues when the device is booting up. The kernel crashes right at the start. Please see the console output below. My assumption is that the kernel tries to access the part of the memory where the device tree file has been copied to by the bootloader. Some grsec mechanism tries to intervene and kill the kernel. I hope that Brad can help us with that. It appears that other systems boot fine with device tree. I currently cannot confirm that Wandboard which booted with an earlier development version of kernel still boots. Pandaboard (without device tree) does boot perfectly. Kernel sources: http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/arne_f/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/l… Kernel config: http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=config/kernel/kernel.confi… Thanks for your help in advance. -Michael mmc2 is current device reading boot.scr 324 bytes read in 12 ms (26.4 KiB/s) ## Executing script at 13800000 reading zImage-ipfire-multi 3163176 bytes read in 210 ms (14.4 MiB/s) reading uInit-ipfire-multi 2237636 bytes read in 143 ms (14.9 MiB/s) reading board.dtb 22996 bytes read in 37 ms (606.4 KiB/s) Kernel image @ 0x10800000 [ 0x000000 - 0x304428 ] ## Loading init Ramdisk from Legacy Image at 11800000 ...

News on Utilite?

Hi everyone, is there any progress with this wonderful piece of Hardware during the christmas vacations? - Is there any difference with the new version of u-boot from Compulab? - Did someone try the wandaboard kernel from stevee? If there is a real chance to get the fire running on this HW I would buy one and would give support as good as possible. What do you think michael? Greets, Ben
