Could you share the U-Boot commands how you load and esp. start Xen?
For
loading you use TFTP? How do you start Xen with U-Boot, then? I
think we
have to pass the device tree address in x0 and the Linux kernel image
address in x2. How do you do this with an U-Boot command?
U-boot can load Xen from TFTP or from the SD-card. This is the same as
booting a baremetal kernel with U-boot.
There is a section on the wiki page to explain how to create the
device-tree node for the boot modules [1] and the allwinner page [2]
gives a full example how to boot Xen with U-boot via tftp (Note that it
could easily be adapted to load from the SD-Card).

Hmm, sorry, I still seem to miss anything :(
I've loaded xen/xen with U-Boot to 0x4A000000 and then try to start it
as described in [2] above:
=> bootz 0x4A000000 - 0x48000000
Bad Linux ARM zImage magic!
I'm not sure why xen/xen is assumed to be a zImage?
Oh, sorry I meant to say that bootz should be replaced by booti but
forgot to write it down.
Ok, thanks, booti does work [1].
Most probably just cosmetics, but again our friend image_size:
Image lacks image_size field, assuming 16MiB
Is there any special reason why we don't write the image size to the xen
header?
Or should we try to fix it? E.g. like the Linux kernel is doing it?
Best regards
Dirk
