While Stephen has made some important and useful comments, I want to poke at one other thing: >> + * To force start.elf to pass a processed, ready-to-go DT, > + * you have to use the mkknlimg tool on the u-boot image: > + * ./mkknlimg --dtok u-boot.bin /boot/u-boot.bin > + * > + * mkknlimg can be obtained from > https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools/blob/master/mkimage/knlinfo I think there is value in being able to support the Pi-official flow. What I'd like to see (along with making sure that we don't break support of using mainline kernels) is that knlinfo be updated with a more complete license statement (it doesn't say what version of the GPL it's licensed under) and then dropped into U-Boot so that we can generate the correct binary for this case out of the box. That's a much cleaner experience for the users. -- Tom
