Yes it works booting the zImage from the local directory now, using
semihosting, however, I still get the same error when the kernel boots:
Error: unrecognized/unsupported device tree compatible list:
[ '(null)' ]
Is there a way that I can check that the right DTB is passed to the kernel?
Also, it seems that the kernel does not have any DTB support, because the list
if supported device trees is NULL.
My kernel configuration includes
CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE=y
CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE=y
and it worked with a non-UEFI boot loader. So I assume the kernel is OK?
Cheers.

Sorry, I forgot this point. Yes, the default folder is the one where you start
the simulator from. Some Fast Model allows to redefines the semihosting root
(it does not seem to be the case on the Fast Model version I have).

Thanks, that helps a lot. If I use semihosting, where on the host filesystem
does it look for files? In the directory that I run the simulator from?
Cheers.

Hi,
After updating the FDT with "[4] Update FDT path", do you restart the model?
I have just started a new section for Booting Linux on ARM Fast Model:

Cheers,

Hi I'm using the latest edk2 code and the ARM Fast Model simulator to run
Linux.
I used the guidance described here
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg#Booting_Linux
and here
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg#ARM_Fast_Model.
I have built a Linux kernel with device tree support. I have built the DTB and
booting my kernel works fine with a non-UEFI bootloader. However, I don't quite
understand yet how I can pass the DTB to the kernel through the UEFI bootloader.
I boot from SD/MMC card and the zImage and the .dtb is stored on it. When the
systems boots, I get the following error:
Error: unrecognized/unsupported device tree compatible list:
[ '(null)'
]
I have tried to boot through the boot loader manually and select entry "[4]
Update FDT path" to point the boot loader to my DTB file on the SD card but it
doesn't seem to work that way. What is the right approach to specify the DTB
file that has to be passed to the kernel?
Thanks,
Nicola
