Hi Sascha!

Yeah, it has been only 10 years... :)

Yes. There is a bootstrap required: https://github.com/linux4sam/at91bootstrap
However, an old version is needed. I am still fighting the details.

I accidently erased it, so my journey for unbricking the device began.
at91bootstrap, openocd, barebox - they all once supported A9G20, but
nowadays all of them were broken. Well, I fixed openocd and barebox
mostly so far, the bootstrap is still the missing piece.

Super interesting about the A9263 setup code. I missed it so far. Does
that mean that barebox can replace the at91bootstrap?

Motivated? No way ;) Obliged? More so. But first, I want to unbrick my
device. First make it work, then make it beautiful.

That being said, the two patches from this series are okay? I'd think
they are still needed for other legacy systems even if I convert A9G20
to DT in some ages.

Thanks for your help!
