Hello Andrii and everyone still listening,

I am sorry for sending attachments to the mailing list. Below is my github
with the patch I applied and the dts I made to attempt to boot the R-Car H3.

https://github.com/nacarino/xen-arm

As Andrii suggested, I attempted only compiling Xen with the SRCREV
24fb44e971a62b345c7b6ca3c03b454a1e150abe.

The compilation went smoothly but I was unable to get any output from the
R-Car H3 past the "Starting kernel" line.

I have a feeling that my configuration of the serial connection or the
serial configuration somewhere is wrong, however I don't have a clue where
I could start debugging.

Does any one have any ideas?

Thank you all for your patience and cooperation.

Best regards,

Jairo
