Unfortunately the HSS has not worked in QEMU for a long time, and while I would love to fix it, but am pretty stretched for spare time to begin with. I usually just do direct kernel boots, which use the OpenSBI that comes with QEMU, as I am sure you already know :) > At this point, you can either: > 1) Use latest OpenSBI on QEMU microchip-icicle-kit machine > 2) Ensure CPU0 DT node is enabled in DT when booting on QEMU > microchip-icicle-kit machine with OpenSBI 1.3 Will OpenSBI disable it? If not, I think option 2) needs to be remove the DT node. I'll just use tip-of-tree myself & up to the
