I was not able to boot rpi5 with the latest master. I run into
dram_init() error:
> DRAM: mbox: Timeout waiting for response
> bcm2835: Could not query ARM memory size
Apparently there is a new peripheral layout and ARMC MBOX has a
different offset within.
Turns out there is a compatible node "brcm,bcm2835-mbox" for all RPIs
(bcm238x/bcm271x).
After fixing this I got to the point where mmu_setup() was hanging
(looks like it was due to incorrect mapping). So I've added a
definition of first gigabyte of RAM and SOC range for bcm2712 into
rpi.c.
With those two patches and rpi_arm64_defconfig (with disabled
CONFIG_VIDEO_BCM2835) I'm able to get a working u-boot prompt (over
serial). FDT comes from firmware (EEPROM).
These patches are based on v2024.01-rc2 and tested with RPI5 8GB.
Known issues:
* CONFIG_VIDEO_BCM2835 doesn't work.
* MBOX get board revision (0x10002) doesn't work (the response status
is 0x8000_0001).
Dmitry Malkin (2):
rpi5: add alternative way to get MBOX address via FDT node
rpi5: add initial memory map for bcm2712
