Really sorry, seems it was my own fault, but you helped me find my mistake ... I forgot to mention, that I use fitImage format for kernel, so I thought maybe that is causing the error so I switched to uImage. When using uImage I got the error Could not find a valid device tree As this error should have been fixed with your latest commit I had a look at the sunxi-common.h and everything looked fine, so I compared the option and of course it is not +S:OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT=y but +S:CONFIG_OLD_SUNXI_KERNEL_COMPAT=y With this I could boot the uImage and also boot the fitImage. So I can confirm your changes work with with the Olinuxino-A20 Micro with either uImage or fitImage. Thanks for your help and great work on sunxi. Jens - One last feedback: when switching from sunxi-u-boot to mainline the name of the olimex boards change. The names have been cleared up in u-boot-sunxi in commit be4331143f23976a2e899255d31b794989fe1a47 but in mainline u-boot still the old names are used. I don't know if it is wise to change the names in mainline, but it should be somehow consistent. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
