Hi Ahmad, thanks for answering, actually I've already done some tests with the 'smc' DEBUG command but I think and the results I got are not the expected ones. (I must admit I'm not really an expert upon this PSCI subsystem of the imx7, so I could be making some trivial errors...) For example, if I directly execute 'smc -c' or a 'smc -i' just after barebox booted up I get a crash: imx7: / smc -c prefetch abort pc : [<10fc388c>] lr : [<bfe4a438>] sp : bffefe10 ip : bffefe20 fp : 00000000 r10: 00000000 r9 : bfe4a55c r8 : bfe5a0f0 r7 : 00000000 r6 : 00000000 r5 : 00000000 r4 : 00000000 r3 : 00000000 r2 : bfe4a55c r1 : 00000001 r0 : 84000003 Flags: nZCv IRQs off FIQs off Mode UK6_32 no stack data available I think this is OK because the secure monitor is still not installed. Executing first a 'smc -n' I have: Hit any key to stop autoboot: 4 imx7: / smc -n imx7: / smc -i found psci version 1.0 imx7: / That's OK, I think. Now I can try a 'smc -c' to enable the second core: imx7: / smc -c imx7: / at this point I would expect to see the debug line generated by the 'psci_printf("2nd CPU online, now turn off again\n");' present in the funtion 'second_entry(void)'. Instead I just don't see anything. Is this the expected behavior of 'smc -c' ? giorgio > On October 15, 2019 at 1:37 PM Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > On 10/15/19 1:29 PM, Giorgio Dal Molin wrote: > > Hi, > > > > can anyone please confirm that a recent barebox version (v2019.10 or v2019.09) > > is able to boot a linux kernel so that it can enable the second cpu core ? > > If you #define DEBUG in arch/arm/cpu/psci.c, a smc command is enabled that can > be used to test ARM_PSCI_0_2_CPU_ON.
