Hello,

I have an Armada 370 dev board (DB-88F6710-BP) running Marvell kernel
3.2.

Now I'm a bit puzzled because I'd like to use newer kernel (i.e 3.12)
on my board, so I tried several repositories (vanilla and linux-mvebu)
with no success! :'(

I read on the net that it should work, but after using the bootz
command everything hangs:

   Marvell>> tftp $loadaddr zImage-cyone
   Using egiga0 device
   TFTP from server 192.168.32.38; our IP address is 192.168.32.25
   Filename 'zImage-cyone'.

   Marvell>> bootz $loadaddr

   Starting kernel ...

File zImage-cyone is made with command:

   giometti at hulk:~/Projects/linux-mvebu[mvebu-dt-3.14]$ cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-370-db.dtb > /srv/tftp/zImage-cyone

Someone have some advise for me! :)

Hi Redolfo

What version of u-boot do you have? There has been a change in u-boot
so that the registers are mapped to a different address. Old u-boot
with new kernel causes instant lockup on boot as soon as it tries to
access the wrong address space.
