Re: [9fans] raspberry pi 4 arm64 test image

[cinap_lenrek]

thank you!

i believe its just starting rio so you dont get any more output.

interestingly, the framebuffer was set up without error as
far as the kernel is concerned. otherwise we would get an
error when trying to attach devdraw.

on the bootargs prompt, enter:

!rc

then on the rc shell:

cat '#ec/*maxmem'

that should be the end of ram that the loader passes to us
in the device tree.

i'll prepare a kernel that you can copy into the sdcard
image with more debug output...

The display shows an error "not support" on the screen.
bc2708_fb.fbheight is 1280 and fbwidth 1920 which don't seem
to work on my display. Removing gpu_mem=16 didn't help.  I
didn't get any output - not even the first line.

No, the framebuffer is always reserved at the top of the
first 1GB, so on 2GB and 4GB units there are two separate
regions.

That's strange, getramsize works on my 2GB pi4:
	getramsize 0 1046478848

The same values are in atags (you need 'device_tree=' in config.txt
to make the firmware pass atags instead of devicetree).

Ethernet and sdcard worked fine. Haven't tried usb3 yet.

The device tree has two entries.

oh dear. i dont even know the expected physical memory map...
i guess that ram is continuous block at [0-0xfc000000). but
some memory might be reserved...

on what method does it report only 1GB?

i know of 3 methods so far:

- atags
- device tree /memory/reg property
- firmware property request (getramsize() in vcore.c)

for me getramsize() returns zero for both base and limit so its
completely useless.

i'm currently using device tree method, but the code assumes that
there is a single block entry. lets see if that lies as well with
the debug kernel.

Re: [9fans] raspberry pi 4 arm64 test image

[cinap_lenrek]

ok, i prepared a kernel with debug prints. (i basically
buffer the debug outputs in kmesg and dump them on the
serial console and screen once they get initialized).

http://felloff.net/usr/cinap_lenrek/9pi4

i suspect that the device tree /memory/reg property
might not be a single 12 byte entry. and thats why
theres no *maxmem variable in #ec.

i also added some prints to fbinit() just to make
sure...

on my pi4, i get:

/memory/reg[12]: 00000000000000003E600000
confinit: *maxmem=0x3e600000
confinit: memsize=0x3e600000

It is an early 4k Seiki TV/Monitor. It works fine on a pi3
(running your kernel) in 1440x900 res. On pi4 with 9front, it
says "Not support" on the screen so likely some invalid
parameter.

Re: [9fans] raspberry pi 4 arm64 test image

[Richard Miller]

Back in the arm32 world, the contrib/miller/9/bcm kernel source
is now stable and useable on pi4, after fixing some old emmc bugs,
and thanks to cinap for spotting that no-execute bits have to be
set in device space page tables to prevent speculative instruction
fetches from device registers (!).

Wifi is still the only supported device so far.  Rather than
re-inventing wheels, I'll adopt 9front drivers for the rest
(after I've caught up with some other work).

The firmware on a pi4 with 2GB or 4GB RAM will only report 1GB.
I believe you need to look at the board id (or probe for invalid
addresses as in the teg2 kernel) to find out the real amount.

i'v made a sdcard image for the new raspberry pi 4
(also works on 3).

http://gabe.felloff.net/usr/cinap_lenrek/9front-7336.bb28fe19fe44.pi3.img.gz

this has support for most of the new hardware:

sdcard, ethernet and usb3.0

can someone please test this on the 2GB and 4GB
