Hi,

are there any other urgent fixes that should make it into the imminent
v2012.04.1 maintenance release ?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I tested the recent master which includes the three patches planned for 
v2012.04.1 booting a device tree based kernel and it works :)

So from my side: No, nothing else needed.

Many thanks and best regards

Dirk

Have you tested it on a mx6qsabrelite using the latest mainline kernel?

My kernel did not boot.

This was what I did:

make imx_v6_v7_defconfig
make
make imx6q-sabrelite.dtb

cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/imx6q-sabrelite.dtb >
arch/arm/boot/zImage_dtb

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x10008000 -e 0x10008000
-n Linux -d arch/arm/boot/zImage_dtb arch/arm/boot/uImage_dtb

cp arch/arm/boot/uImage_dtb /tftpboot/uImage

It used to work before. Is this still valid?

Thanks,

Fabio Estevam

Yes.

Just to make sure: You use the recent mainline with the 4 additional 
patches on top of v2012.04:

I don't know ;) Or better: I don't use the device tree append method.

I don't have the details here, but what I do (out of my head, so there 
might be some details wrong):

Use the mainline kernel 3.4-rc4
make imx_v6_v7_defconfig
make LOADADDR=0x10800000 uImage

dd if=u-boot.imx of=/dev/sdd bs=512 skip=2 && sync
dd if=imx6q-sabrelite.dtb of=/dev/sdd bs=512 skip=1024 && sync (<- put 
the dtb to 512kB on the SD card)
dd if=uImage of=/dev/sdd bs=512 skip=2048 && sync (put the uImage to 1MB)

and then in U-Boot:

mmc read 0x12000000 0x800 0x2000 (read the kernel to 0x12000000)
mmc read 0x11ff0000 0x400 0x40 (read the device tree to 0x11ff0000)
bootm 0x12000000 - 0x11ff0000

You could do the same using tftp as proposed by Shawn:

tftpboot 0x12000000 uImage; tftpboot 0x11ff0000 imx6q-sabrelite.dtb; bootm
0x12000000 - 0x11ff0000

Again, this is just out of my head, so sorry if something is wrong.

Best regards

Dirk

Thanks, using your method I am able to boot it again.

I just sent two more patches that are required to boot the Plutux and Medcom
boards successfully. Sorry for being so late, but I only got around to test
the latest release on both boards now. Both patches are very low-risk and it
would be nice to have them in an official release but I understand if you'd
rather not include them this late.

Dear Thierry Reding,

Sorry, but both patches touch common code; this would require more
intensive testing.

I will not include these into v2012.04.1, which is intended to fix
only really critical bugs.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
