Hello, Thank you for the patch. Verified and acknowledged, rk3188 w/ bb 2018.09.0 is booting when compiled using the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.3.0-16ubuntu3) 7.3.0 toolchain. Interestingly, it booted using the OSELAS toolchain; what kind of dark magic does get thrown at the code when using OSELAS? rk3188 boot up (notice the -dirty tail to the version string because variable_offset.diff got patched in): DDR Version 1.04 20140217 In DDR3 300MHz Bus Width=32 Col=10 Bank=8 Row=15 CS=2 Die Bus-Width=16 Size=2048MB Memory OK OUT barebox 2018.09.0-dirty #40 Fri Sep 14 23:26:58 CEST 2018 Board: Radxa Rock clk_register clk xin24m is already registered, skipping! arc-emac 10204000.ethernet: ARC EMAC detected with id: 0x7fd02 mdio_bus: miibus0: probed dw_mmc 10214000.dwmmc: registered as 10214000.dwmmc mshc1: detected SD card version 1.0 mshc1: registered mshc1 netconsole: registered as netconsole-1 i2c-gpio i2c-gpio0: using pins 58 (SDA) and 59 (SCL) malloc space: 0x9fefd660 -> 0xdfdfacbf (size 1023 MiB) gpio-leds.6: probe permanently deferred envfs: no envfs (magic mismatch) - envfs never written? running /env/bin/init...

It looks like there are a couple of issues here: 1) envfs: no envfs (magic mismatch) - envfs never written? 2) mount: No such file or directory 3) setting root node failed: Device or resource busy 4) kernel does not boot: arch_number: 3066 Any ideas on those ones?
