Sometimes the bootloader can put the hardware in a state in which the Linux kernel panics. > Once thing I'm not clear on -- should I be using the dtb that came with the > kernel (arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-olinuxino.dtb) or just use > the one provided by U-boot via $fdtcontroladdr? For u-boot use the u-boot dtb (it is included in u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin so don't worry about this), and for kernel use the kernel dtb. Joonas
