.config. After deep digging in the init code, I've meanwhile fixed it (at least with self-compiled 2015 bbx - didn't try newer versions yet). In the end was just dt misconfiguration (that wasn't obvious in this dts wood, which I ported from the old 4.1-phy tree): the debug uart was disabled. This lead to some funny situations: * DEBUG_ll worked after fixing the port number (the counting is a bit confusing: ttymxc1 is #2) * console works up to the point where the uarts tty drivers are configured. as the uart was disabled in dt, no tty driver was associated (while ll driver was still active), so the clock was disabled on some point, leading to supposedly hangup (actually, just the console was gone) * hacking out the clock disable lead further to the point where rootfs is mounted and init started * init couldn't do much, as it didn't get a console. first I suspected rootfs would be mounted too late, but then turned out that /dev/console indeed was there (in the internal initramfs), but open() returned ENODEV (hmm, we should have verbose errno printouts - already got some patches for that in some other trees ...) * the reason for ENODEV was the lack of an tty driver for the uart (printk() still went through ll driver) -- may we should add a proper warning for that ... --mtx _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
