Dear All,
I add the ISB operation after dcache_disable(), and I can jump to
linux kernel entry.:-)

Sounds crazy. In fact, there is already an 'ISB' operation in set_cr()
which to disable dcache and MMU. But it just tell processor that
memory had change, not real ISB for armv7.
dcache_disable
==>flush_dcache_all()
==>set_cr() disable dcache and MMU.
#define isb() __asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory")
static inline void set_cr(unsigned int val)
{
if (is_hyp())
asm volatile("mcr p15, 4, %0, c1, c0, 0 @ set CR" :
: "r" (val)
: "cc");
else
asm volatile("mcr p15, 0, %0, c1, c0, 0 @ set CR" :
: "r" (val)
: "cc");
isb();
}
I also find something in ARM cortex-A17 TRM. ==>"Disable the MMU from
the each processor followed by an ISB to ensure the MMU disable
operation is complete, then followed by a DSB to drain previous memory
transactions."
In my humble opinion, maybe instructions tlb had alter, and cause
running away??? I'm not sure about it.
@Sandy, could you have a try with my update?
@Simon, did you hit this glitch? I hope you can help ...:-)

Ah, thanks. Your debugging looks the same as what I've seen from
printf debugging. I'll try to verify though.

hi Stany,
The difference is that you print out assertion log.
Reset not supported on this platform
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
You can add show_boot_progress() function in your bsp file to find
out something.
#define CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
void show_boot_progress(int progress)
{
printf("Boot reached stage %d\n", progress);
}

Hi All,
I'm sorry to tell you that I failed to boot linux kernel with
the mainline u-boot on rk3288 board(both evb-rk3288 &
fennec-rk3288). It was stuck in cleanup_before_linux() before
jumping to linux, and the boot_stage_flag is
BOOTSTAGE_ID_BOOTM_HANDOFF.

With the further investigation, it never returnned back from
invalidate_dcache_all(). I mean that I can't reach stage 4 as
below.
cleanup_before_linux
==>cleanup_before_linux_select
==>1.disable_interrupts
==>2.dcache_disable
==>3.invalidate_dcache_all
==>4.icache_disable
Debug further, invalidate_dcache_all invalidate all cache
one-by-one which cache type is DATA_ONLY, INSTRUCTION_DATA or
UNIFIED. And invalidate way from one set to another set in
order. The problem is that the PC ran away in invalidate way
loop [cache level L1!!!].
I add some serial output code in __v7_flush_dcache_all to
figure out the bog.
I expect:
Print the value of r9 in sequence, e.g 0x7f, 0x7e, 0x7d.....
0x01, 0x00 (hex)
In fact, print the value of r9 in sequence at first, but print
unexpected value afterwards. e.g 0x7f, 0x7e, 0x7d, ..,0x73,
0x40, 0x85,....

I don't have the jtag, hence I can't address the current pc. I
have no doubt that if any glitches in __v7_flush_dcache_all, I
reviewed several times, also copy kernel's implement to here.
:-( No effect.
A more interesting thing is that Sandy had report it. He and I
have similar problem. Everything work fine after I applied his
patches, or disable dcache(active CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF).
@Stany, I'm sorry that I disable dcache during hack.. That was
a mistake:-(
@Simon & hieko,
Can you boot linux with the mainline u-boot? have a try?
