Hi, I'm recently testing booting my RK3399 boards with the following boot sequence: U-boot -> systemd-boot (EFI payload) -> kernel Which provides much more flex than plain extlinux conf from U-boot. (More choice, easier to write config, runtime kernel change). So far "kernel" and "initramfs" key work fine. But I notice that "devicetree" key is not working properly. The Uboot fdt search path doesn't include "/dtbs" which is used by my distro, and my entry config specify the device-tree file like this: title ManjaroARM boot from nvme linux /Image devicetree /dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-rockpro64.dtb initrd /initramfs-linux.img options console=ttyS2,1500000 root=/dev/arm_nvme/root rw loglevel=7 Thus if systemd-boot doesn't load the correct device-tree, kernel will use the default fdt passed from Uboot, which is already out-of-date and can cause problems for the upstream kernel I used. Unfortunately, with above config, after booting the kernel, the fdt is the fallback one from Uboot, not loading the proper one specified by systemd-boot config. The proof I went is checking the opp table. I have replaced the "/dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-rockpro64.dtb" with a custom dtb which uses op1 tables. But the kernel only sees a very out-of-dated fdt, which some opp is even invalid. How could I continue debugging the missing link? Like what systemd-boot needs to load the device-tree? Or U-boot EFI environment lacks certain facility to support systemd-boot?Did you see this: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/19417 (and maybe this: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20601)
Awesome! Let me try these PRs and report back! Thanks for the super-fast mention! Qu
maybe that addresses your issues? Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Berlin
