I'm trying to bring up OpenBSD/arm on an RK3128 in the Pomera DM250.
I was able to update its shipped U-Boot from 2014.10 to 2017.09 so
it would have EFI support, and I can boot BOOTARM.EFI.
It hangs when entering the kernel so I instrumented it to see where,
and it looks like it's as soon as it enables the MMU.
This prints out 1 and 2, but never gets to 3. Any ideas?
arm/locore0.S:
.globl uart_putc /* send r1 to uart */
uart_putc:
ldr r0, =0x20064000
/*mov r1, #'h' */
str r1, [r0]
ldr r2, =0x20064000 + 0x7c /* UART_USR */
check_usr:
ldr r3, [r2]
tst r3, #(1<<1) /* UART_TRANSMIT_FIFO_NOT_FULL */
beq check_usr
bx lr
.globl start_mmu
start_mmu:
mov r1, #'1'
bl uart_putc
/* Set ASID to zero */
mov r1, #0
mcr CP15_CONTEXTIDR(r1)
isb
mcr CP15_TTBR0(r0) /* Set TTB */
mcr CP15_TLBIALL(r0) /* Flush TLB */
/* Set the Domain Access register. Very important! */
mov r0, #DOMAIN_CLIENT /* We only use domain 0 */
mcr CP15_DACR(r0)
isb
mov r1, #'2'
bl uart_putc
/* Enable MMU */
mrc CP15_SCTLR(r0)
orr r0, r0, #CPU_CONTROL_MMU_ENABLE
mcr CP15_SCTLR(r0)
isb
mov r1, #'3'
bl uart_putc
