BL31 not loading on Kirkstone

dpog — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 11:47:08 GMT

I'm currently facing a problem after switching from dunfell to the kirkstone branch. Within the dunfell branch we used U-Boot 2020.4 and Kernel 5.4, on kirkstone we use U-Boot 2022.4 (u-boot-imx) and Kernel 6.0.8 (linux-fslc). Right now we're reapply the patches to the newer uboot and kernel, but somehow we can't change the console to Uart3.

With "console=ttymxc2 ....etc" the kernel uses the right console, but when changing uboot to use uart3, even uuu isn't working anymore.

When changing the settings in imx8mm_evk.h and imx8mm_evk.c, the SPL prints do uart3, but when it should show:

NOTICE: BL31: v2.6(release):lf-5.15.71-2.2.0-0-g3c1583ba0-dirty
NOTICE: BL31: Built : 11:00:38, Nov 21 2022

it is stuck. When booting from a sd-card it does the same. My suspicion is that the BL31-Env is somehow blocking because it should init the wrong console.

Any suggestions?

Hi @dpog ,

I hope you are doing well.

Please provide me with a patch of changes that were applied.

Please make sure that you have made changes to imx-atf as below.

- IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE ?= 0x30890000

+ IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE ?= 0x30880000

I using op-tee, Please make changes to /core/arch/arm/plat-imx/conf.mk as below.

ifneq (,$(filter $(PLATFORM_FLAVOR),mx8mmevk))
CFG_DDR_SIZE ?= 0x80000000
- CFG_UART_BASE ?= UART2_BASE

+ CFG_UART_BASE ?= UART3_BASE
endif

Thanks & Regards,

I applied the changes to imx-atf as you stated.

These are the changes I made to u-boot-imx:

Hi @dpog ,

I hope you are doing well.

The issue seems to be due to yocto overriding ATF changes.

From the yocto Kirkstone version, ATF UART can be configured in yocto without modifying

Please refer to the below commit.

imx-atf: allow setting the UART used during boot

SERIAL_CONSOLES = "115200;ttymxc1" // at meta-freescale/conf/machine/include/imx8mm-evk.inc

SOC_ATF_BOOT_UART_BASE:mx8m-generic-bsp = "0x30890000" // meta-freescale/conf/machine/include/imx-base.inc

Please change below variables in custom machine configuration file or at meta-freescale/conf/machine/imx8mm-lpddr4-evk.conf

SERIAL_CONSOLES = "115200;ttymxc2"

ATF_BOOT_UART_BASE = "0x30880000"

Thanks & Regards,

Sanket Parekh
