Hello,
I am attempting to boot evb-ast2500 in Qemu before flashing it to a
system. It doesn't get past the DRAM step, due to getting stuck
endlessly looping in some libfdt code.
With some debugging turned on, I get this:
OF: translating address: 0040781e
OF: parent translation for: 00000000
OF: one level translation: 0040781e
OF: parent translation for: 00000000
OF: one level translation: 0040781e
OF: translating address: 00206e1e
U-Boot 2018.09-rc1-00096-gbb694d4e898b-dirty (Aug 06 2018 - 12:27:22 +0930)
Model: Aspeed BMC
DRAM: OF: translating address: 00006e1e
OF: translating address: 00026e1e
OF: translating address: 0050781e
OF: parent translation for: 00000000
OF: one level translation: 0050781e
OF: parent translation for: 00000000
OF: one level translation: 0050781e
Watchdog timer expired.
And then the watchdog causes the system to reboot. The build is master
as of gbb694d4e898b, with the addition of some #define DEBUG.
I don't think this is a qemu issue. If it is, I can work on fixing
qemu, but I need some help on understanding what u-boot is doing.
There's a big pause before the U-Boot banner, and again after showing
'DRAM: 'before getting any of the OF messages. If I get gdb to show me
a backtrace at this point:

To reproduce in qemu, build qemu master for ARM:
git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu && cd qemu
./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu
make
build a 32MB image from u-boot.bin:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1M count=32
dd if=u-boot.bin of=test.img conv=notrunc
boot it:
arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M ast2500-evb -m 512 -nographic -drive
file=test.img,format=raw,if=mtd -serial stdio -monitor pty
