[U-Boot] ROCK64 fails to boot using U-Boot TPL

Thu Sep 19 08:56:57 UTC 2019

I've been unable so far to boot NetBSD on my PINE64 ROCK64 (v2.0, 
Rockchip RK3328) using U-Boot built with its own TPL, the default since 
commit ff3dd0a474.

The same NetBSD image boots fine using the binary TPL supplied by Rockchip.

The exact failure varies but it always seems memory-related. Typically 
the NetBSD kernel fails right after starting with a panic in its 
virtual-memory system, uvm.

Also significant may be these messages sometimes output by U-Boot at 
startup, which I haven't seen when the Rockchip TPL is used:

     libfdt fdt_check_header(): FDT_ERR_BADMAGIC

I've pasted the output from a typical failed boot below and have 
submitted a problem report (with a bit more detail) to the NetBSD project:

https://gnats.netbsd.org/54557

Does anyone know why this might be happening? Is there perhaps some 
additional setup the U-Boot TPL expects from the OS to finish 
configuring the RK3328's memory controller that's currently missing from 
NetBSD?

How I can diagnose this further?
