GOAL:
A fully bootable SD card with the LS1043ardb stock image that will boot on the LS1043ardb.
CURRENT STATE:
I built all the image components (kernel, device tree, u-boot-with-spl-pbl, and file system) with the Yocto Project using the instructions from LSDKYOCTOUG. I built the fsl-image-networking yocto image. I made the following modification to the ls1043ardb machine configuration to get u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin.
UBOOT_CONFIG ??= "tfa-secure-boot tfa sdcard"
UBOOT_CONFIG[tfa] = "ls1043ardb_tfa_defconfig,,u-boot-dtb.bin"
UBOOT_CONFIG[tfa-secure-boot] = "ls1043ardb_tfa_SECURE_BOOT_defconfig,,u-boot-dtb.bin"
UBOOT_CONFIG[sdcard] = "ls1043ardb_sdcard_defconfig,,u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin"
The bootloader is written to the SD card with the following:
sudo dd if=u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin of=/dev/sdx bs=512 seek=8 conv=fsync
The FM microcode and QE microcode are written to the SD card with the following:
sudo dd if=fsl_fman_ucode_ls1043_r1.1_108_4_9.bin of=/dev/sdx bs=512 seek=18432 conv=fsync
sudo dd if=iram_Type_A_LS1021a_r1.0.bin of=/dev/sdx bs=512 seek=18432 conv=fsync
The bootloader does come up and I load the kernel and device tree from a partition (1) on the sdcard and loaded to RAM with the following:
fatload mmc 0 0x82000000 Image
fatload mmc 0 0x8f000000 fsl-ls1043a-rdb-sdk.dtb
I change the boot arguments to boot from a partition (2) on the sdcard that has the filesystem and boot with the following:
setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5 rw console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x21c0500
booti 0x82000000 - 0x8f000000
ISSUE:
The issue is the kernel panics. I have narrowed the issue down to the bootloader because if I use the bootloader on the NOR flash of the dev board, everything boots successfully. I have read through many threads that mention that I might be missing a PPA.itb. I don't see this generated in the Yocto build and I even tried to modify the ls1043ardb_sd_defconfig by removing "CONFIG_FSL_LS_PPA=y". I have attached the output of the kernel panic.
