Hi Manish,
The test image should not have any dependency on device tree (dtb?)
for console init.
I used the NXP provided imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb file which should match
the MEK board.
I have tested removing "--data imx8qm-mek-ca53.dtb 0x83000000" (below)
as well but no luck.
I don't believe PC is getting set to the 0x80020000 entry point.
The test image has validated with u-boot using these tftpboot settings:
setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x
setenv serverip x.x.x.x
tftpboot 0xf0000000 App.bin
bootm 0xf0000000
I don't see any console output on the screen running it with bl31.bin as below.
Is there any debug I can add somewhere to help troubleshoot?
Can you please provide me instructions on where to patch this missing code :
"SET_PARAM_HEAD(&bl33_image_ep_info, PARAM_EP, VERSION_1, 0);"
I can try it to see if any change in behavior.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ravi
