Hi, I'm having problems booting a linux kernel image on an imx7d. What I want is to boot in nonsecure mode and that the kernel enables the second core with the PSCI. What I see is that barebox crashes within the call to __mmu_cache_on() in the file arch/arm/cpu/sm.c: int armv7_secure_monitor_install(void) { ... if (mmuon) { /* * If the MMU was already turned on in secure mode, enable it in * non-secure mode aswell */ __mmu_cache_on(); } ... As a workaround, if I comment the call to __mmu_cache_on(), the system boots properly with 2 cores: Loading ARM Linux zImage '/mnt/boot/kernel.img' Loading devicetree from '/mnt/boot/devtree.dtb' commandline: console=ttymxc5,115200n8 ip=::::gdm:eth0:off root=PARTUUID=37199a57-ec72-41f9-ab27-445329d1bd77 rootwait Starting kernel in nonsecure mode [ 0.000000] 000: Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 [ 0.000000] 000: Linux version 5.4.24-rt15-dirty (giorgio@BVblfs) (gcc version 9.2.1 20200110 (OSELAS.Toolchain 9.2.1)) #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Fri Mar 13 17:25:51 CET 2020 [ 0.000000] 000: CPU: ARMv7 Processor [410fc075] revision 5 (ARMv7), cr=10c5387d [ 0.000000] 000: CPU: div instructions available: patching division code [ 0.000000] 000: CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache t[ 0.000000] 000: Memory policy: Data cache writealloc [ 0.000000] 000: cma: Reserved 64 MiB at 0xfa000000 [ 0.000000] 000: psci: probing for conduit method from DT.
