Otherwise nothing will get printed. I do *not* do anything explicitly in my code, but I have stanzas in .dts Is that supposed to be enough? (I attach my current .dts as I'm sorry to say I don't really fully grok .dts and I'm merely copying stanzas around).
I have Your code in board/vocore/vocore2/board.c (attached), shouldn't that be enough? > BTW: This might also be a problem on your board, if you use UART2 and > the muxing is not done no output will occur.

Yes. Up to now I've been using the RAM-version and loaded it from my old (paleolithic 1.1.3) vendor-provided u-boot. Note: I have modified and reflashed *that* u-boot several times, so I was kind of confident I could do without much problem. Of course it's fully possible some initialization done by old code is missing in the new one. > Which binary did you program? I flashed "u-boot.bin" which looks like a copy of "u-boot-dtb.bin"; this is exactly the same file I used for my RAM-based tests (after switching _defconfig and recompiling, of course). > How do the fist line look like? Here my output: > > $ hexdump -n 256 u-boot.bin > 0000000 013f 1000 4800 4080 0000 0000 0000 0000 > 0000010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 > * > 0000100 Mine is quite similar: $ hexdump -n 256 u-boot.bin 0000000 013f 1000 4800 4080 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000010 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 * 0000100 I'm about to go where there's a nailbed to reflash SPI NOR "from outside"; I plan to read back what's on flash before putting back the "old" u-boot to see if something went wrong while flashing (but I doubt it). Problem is how to proceed. Old code did a lot of hard-coded initialization (non-DT-based) which I don't (explicitly) do here (including a long RAM calibration I didn't even try to understand). I will bring back a certain number of working modules, so I will have a certain number of "tries" before I need to go back for hard reflashing; I should try to minimize commuting ;) > Thanks, > Stefan Many Thanks Mauro
