FdtClient throws an assert() in case no device tree is present. > Do we have option 2 to fix the issue? > If no device tree, why we need FdtClient? Why we need make it happy? Well, if all goes as planned the microvm in qemu 6.2+ will provide the fdt but older qemu versions don't. So I want use the fdt if present to detect virtio-mmio devices. On older qemu versions without fdt I do *not* want abort the boot though, the firmware still works with reduced functionality (no storage/network, but direct kernel boot works). The microvm situation is a bit special here. On arm systems the fdt is rather essential for hardware bringup, which is probably the reason for the assert(). For microvm this is not the case though. take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
