Initially, when I stated from TF-A options (security supervision from arm's trusted firmware os) I stuck with this line: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/501bdf3001190686bf55d9d333cb533858c2cf2f/sys/arm/arm/locore-v6.S#L371 control does not seem to reach beyond that point.

I thought it was due to security access control from TF-A, but it behaves the same w/o. Any clues or expertise from other platforms are highly appreciated. Stan Stanislav Silnicki wrote: Hello, I need an advice on the intial addresses layout when booting the kernel. As I understand, ubldr is the proper way to boot the kernel. What is the correct address to load it, given that I wand to keep default KERNVIRTADDR (=0xc0000000) intact? The u-boot loads ubldr this way in my current setup: // FreeBSD version of environment env_set("baudrate", "115200"); env_set("console", "ttyS0,115200"); env_set("stderr", "serial"); env_set("stdin", "serial"); env_set("stdout", "serial"); env_set("autostart", "yes"); env_set("loaderdev", "mmc 1"); // fbsd's ubldr treats our second mmc at index 1 env_set("bootcmd", "fatload mmc 2 0xc0000000 ubldr && bootelf"); then ubldr leads the kernel from mmc and passes it the control: Loading kernel... /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x1b4 text=0x5b8530 text=0x17d91c data=0xa4a60 data=0x0+0x20c000 0x4+0x88810+0x4+0xe9d98| Loading configured modules... can't find '/boot/entropy' can't find '/etc/hostid' Using DTB compiled into kernel. Kernel entry at 0xc0400200... Kernel args: (null) Then I could correctly pass the init of MMU and get into translated mode only with setting KERNVIRTADDR = 0xc4000000. It looks like kernel and loader clash somehow. So, just need to understand what is best option to load ubldr to? Will it affect further routines? Stan Stanislav Silnicki wrote: OK, I got the idea! As I realize, there is a minor bug in dtc, which affects compilation of stm's originated DTBs. I think it is best to make a PR into https://github.com/davidchisnall/dtc, which I'm discussing with repo owner already. Please tell me, that I need to post PR into FBSD source tree if it is a shorter way for my fix. My current setup is based upon QBASE1 from Karo-Electronics, but there is no goal to support/debug all peripherals, only a subset, including USB, I2C, SDMMC, DSI (and GPU, if lucky). https://www.karo-electronics.com/fileadmin/download/Datasheets/QSMP-QSBASE1-Evalkit.pdf The vendor (Karo) supports only their Yocto based Linux distro. I spent some time to prepare TF-A & Uboot, capable with booting from SD card (that is more robust approach, as I think). STM does not promote/support non-secure boot approach with SPL, they insist to use TF-A or OPTEE, so it is pretty cumbersome path, I had to pass. I think, it will be easier for me to prepare some sort of README to support customization of uboot for STM's port and dig it somewhere in SRC rather than ; ; ; ; ;try to post PR's in those repos... Not sure, anyway. So far I'm struggling with uart and early_printf... I'm mixing this activity with my current occupation, so I don't expect rapid progress. Thank you for clarifications!

It might be interesting for someone in the future ( https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/ ) otherwise they all think you stopped working on the STM32 port. You should always keep one terminal up n running % man 9 style :) https://wiki.freebsd.org/Phabricator will give you some information. Its good if you get to know the people active in the ARM area, just keep an eye on the mailinglist and you will notice some names. If you have the opportunity to join any of the conference (eurobsdcon.org, asiabsdcon.org, bsdcan.org) to get to know even more people. Join the IRC, for example on efnet #bsdmips is a good channel for ARM stuff. Start with small changes and you will get feedback. From there the experience will grow and you will get into it all. Correct, the device-tree import is from the Linux kernel and there is no prior work for the STM32MP15 SoCs. I cant find anything about the STM32MP15x in Net or OpenBSD either. Probably because the STM32MP15 is the first(?) application SoC from ST? 1) hum? Do you need that for the reviews? It should be in SRC 2) Target branch is probably main. 3) It depends, if your custom board is opensource and availble around the globe through mouser/farnell/.. I dont see any problem. Otherwise pick the board from ST that you used as a reference when you developed the custom board. For example in my day job we have a custom board built around the octavosystems OSD3358 that can be found in pocketbeagle/beaglebone black wifi. So the code thats goes into the FreeBSD project are all tested on the beaglebone boards. The stuff we need for our custom board like the device tree is keept as local patches in our inhouse build process. //Oskar 2023-10-28 14:25 skrev Stanislav Silnicki: Hi Oskar! > can you point me some guidelines to help myself to fit development process?

The address, referenced from error message (0xe000ed00) is mapped by STM's address space to "DDR extension (CA7 only) or Debug" with debug assigned to Cortex-M4 coprocessor.
I'm not sure, that it is an unexpected behav. (it is my first attempt to port to armv7), so need an advice.
Any?

my current progress of STM32MP1xx port attempt:
Basically, both options to boot ubldr and then kernel in SPL & TF-A modes of u-boot are supported.
Initially, when I stated from TF-A options (security supervision from arm's trusted firmware os) I stuck with
this line: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/501bdf3001190686bf55d9d333cb533858c2cf2f/sys/arm/arm/locore-v6.S#L371
control does not seem to reach beyond that point. I tried to enable the led with this assembly, which works anywhere else:
  /* prepare to use LED @ GPIOA 13*/
  ldr r0, =0x50002014
  ldr r1, =0xFFFFDFFF
  ldr r2, [r0]
  and r2, r1, r2
/* Enable caches. */
mrc CP15_SCTLR(r7)
orr r7, #CPU_CONTROL_DC_ENABLE
orr r7, #CPU_CONTROL_IC_ENABLE
orr r7, #CPU_CONTROL_BPRD_ENABLE
mcr CP15_SCTLR(r7)
DSB
  /* turn on GPIO LED */
  str r2, [r0]
Control passes if I disable data cache ORing instruction, but then hangs on setting of new TTB couple lines below...
I thought it was due to security access control from TF-A, but it behaves the same w/o.
Any clues or expertise from other platforms are highly appreciated.

Hello, I need an advice on the intial addresses layout when booting the kernel.
As I understand, ubldr is the proper way to boot the kernel.
What is the correct address to load it, given that I wand to keep default KERNVIRTADDR (=0xc0000000) intact?
The u-boot loads ubldr this way in my current setup:
// FreeBSD version of environment
env_set("baudrate", "115200");
env_set("console", "ttyS0,115200");
env_set("stderr", "serial");
env_set("stdin", "serial");
env_set("stdout", "serial");
env_set("autostart", "yes");
env_set("loaderdev", "mmc 1"); // fbsd's ubldr treats our second mmc at index 1
env_set("bootcmd", "fatload mmc 2 0xc0000000 ubldr && bootelf");
then ubldr leads the kernel from mmc and passes it the control:
Loading kernel...
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x1b4 text=0x5b8530 text=0x17d91c data=0xa4a60 data=0x0+0x20c000 0x4+0x88810+0x4+0xe9d98|
Loading configured modules...
can't find '/boot/entropy'
can't find '/etc/hostid'
Using DTB compiled into kernel.
Kernel entry at 0xc0400200...
Kernel args: (null)
Then I could correctly pass the init of MMU and get into translated mode only with setting KERNVIRTADDR = 0xc4000000. It looks like kernel and loader clash somehow.
So, just need to understand what is best option to load ubldr to? Will it affect further routines?

OK, I got the idea!
As I realize, there is a minor bug in dtc, which affects compilation of stm's originated DTBs. I think it is best to make a PR into https://github.com/davidchisnall/dtc, which I'm discussing with repo owner already. Please tell me, that I need to post PR into FBSD source tree if it is a shorter way for my fix.
My current setup is based upon QBASE1 from Karo-Electronics, but there is no goal to support/debug all peripherals, only a subset, including USB, I2C, SDMMC, DSI (and GPU, if lucky).
https://www.karo-electronics.com/fileadmin/download/Datasheets/QSMP-QSBASE1-Evalkit.pdf
The vendor (Karo) supports only their Yocto based Linux distro. I spent some time to prepare TF-A & Uboot, capable with booting from SD card (that is more robust approach, as I think). STM does not promote/support non-secure boot approach with SPL, they insist to use TF-A or OPTEE, so it is pretty cumbersome path, I had to pass. I think, it will be easier for me to prepare some sort of README to support customization of uboot for STM's port and dig it somewhere in SRC rather than  ; ; ; ; ;try to post PR's in those repos... Not sure, anyway.
So far I'm struggling with uart and early_printf...
I'm mixing this activity with my current occupation, so I don't expect rapid progress.
Thank you for clarifications! I'll try to do my best!

Hi Stanislav,
Please resend your message and CC the arm mailing list. It might be interesting for someone in the future ( https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/ ) otherwise they all think you stopped working on the STM32 port.
You should always keep one terminal up n running % man 9 style :)
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Phabricator will give you some information.
Its good if you get to know the people active in the ARM area, just keep an eye on the mailinglist and you will notice some names. If you have the opportunity to join any of the conference (eurobsdcon.org, asiabsdcon.org, bsdcan.org) to get to know even more people.
Join the IRC, for example on efnet #bsdmips is a good channel for ARM stuff.
Start with small changes and you will get feedback. From there the experience will grow and you will get into it all.
Correct, the device-tree import is from the Linux kernel and there is no prior work for the STM32MP15 SoCs. I cant find anything about the STM32MP15x in Net or OpenBSD either.
Probably because the STM32MP15 is the first(?) application SoC from ST?
1) hum? Do you need that for the reviews? It should be in SRC
2) Target branch is probably main.
3) It depends, if your custom board is opensource and availble around the globe through mouser/farnell/.. I dont see any problem. Otherwise pick the board from ST that you used as a reference when you developed the custom board.
For example in my day job we have a custom board built around the octavosystems OSD3358 that can be found in pocketbeagle/beaglebone black wifi. So the code thats goes into the FreeBSD project are all tested on the beaglebone boards. The stuff we need for our custom board like the device tree is keept as local patches in our inhouse build process.

I'm porting onto the subject hardware. So far the progress is
modest,
while the system boots (without console although...)
One of major issues is hardcoded value inside locore-v6.S. Here
is my
relevant post:

What is the best way to proceed? Patch, vendor kernel build,
something
else?
