Which system do you use? Android, Ubuntu, OOWOW or others?
Zephyr
Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?
Latest Zephyr SDK generated Image (v3.4)
Please describe your issue below:
I am trying to port the Zephyr Image to VIM-3 board. For reference, I am looking into files provided by Zephyr Official Document for the Khadas Edge-V.
With help of reference I was able to create soc/board files that were required to generated the zephyr.bin for the VIM3. After that, I had use mkimage to convert it and used the u-boot to load the same (as described in the reference link).
But after bootm command to load the image, it is getting stuck at “Starting Kernal”.
Following are the
Command I used during the u-boot: tftpboot ${pxefile_addr_r} zephyr.img; bootm start ${pxefile_addr_r}; bootm loados; bootm go
I am aware of the fact that zephyr right now doesn’t support the VIM3(Amlogic), due which I am trying to port the Zephyr to VIM3, by taking reference from Edge-V(Rockchip).
So, I had followed the Porting Guide provided by the Official Zephyr Doc and taking reference from Edge-V Board files also. I had created following files (if wanted I can share the content of those file) and a311d.dtsi for soc initialization(as shared in previous post):
After which I was able to generate zephyr.bin image for Khadas VIM-3, and then I had used u-boot official image provided by the Khadas to setup the TFTP Server environment to load zephyr image, with help of following command:
tftpboot ${pxefile_addr_r} zephyr.img; bootm start ${pxefile_addr_r}; bootm loados; bootm go
with help of printenv, pxefile_addr_r value was 0x01080000 and for the load memory addr I have provided value 0x10000000.
But after above command, u-boot got stuck on the “Starting Kernel”
Can you please let me know, where I might have gone incorrect?
One more thing, in previous post, I forgot to mention, after I had build the zephyr.bin, before loading the image I have mkimage (as suggested for the Edge-V also) mkimage -C none -A arm64 -O linux -a 0x10000000 -e 0x10000000 -d build/zephyr/zephyr.bin build/zephyr/zephyr.img
Let me know, if anymore details are required.
Thanks!!
Yeah, I am trying run the console application(end objective is different but for starting point, I am working with console application) on VIM3, so everything is required to port for zephyr.
Yes, as described in the first post, for a311d.dtsi file, I have ported myself(a311d.dtsi file content in the Issue description). I have used the uart2 at memory address 0xff80300
@Electr1 , Can you please let me know, how can I share my code base with you? Because I am not able to find the attachment option(for my compressed folder) in the Reply.
I have checked your code from the repository, I think that might not be the issue itself.
VIM3 needs scripts to boot linux kernel from uboot, can you check this out ?
As result, the load addr may also be wrong, you need to check it
I looked into the script you had provided, it seems at the start of boot time this script runs and check for the kernel image on the available memory. It also setup all the environment variable for address.
As for my uboot image which I downloaded from the Khadas site, it tries to setup following environment variables and addresses. It seems I am using those only (as mention in the earlier post i.e. command to load the Zephyr)
