Try 2018.09 and make sure to use latest ATF, seems to work fine there: [ 0.000162] NOTICE: BL2: R-Car Gen3 Initial Program Loader(CA57) Rev.1.0.21 [ 0.005724] NOTICE: BL2: PRR is R-Car H3 Ver.2.0 [ 0.010393] NOTICE: BL2: Board is Starter Kit Rev.1.0 [ 0.015506] NOTICE: BL2: Boot device is HyperFlash(80MHz) [ 0.020932] NOTICE: BL2: LCM state is CM [ 0.024974] NOTICE: BL2: AVS setting succeeded.
