boot armv8 on FVPs #56

Open penlu opened 7 years ago

mwookawa commented 7 years ago

please fail-fast on this. if it does work, we can integrate it into nightly testing. otherwise, let's move on to actually writing code.

mwookawa commented 7 years ago

there is a whole bunch of code in ds-5, but this is still pretty far off mainline, since the 32-bit FVPs work beautifully and we don't have any armv8 hardware and don't want to touch the ISA or machines until we've synthesized some armv7 MD code.

goal redirect is to mash together a frankenboot using example stage 1 and linux boot + barrelfish kernel on top

mwookawa commented 7 years ago

i've slacked you a couple of open source armv8 bootloader resources

this is turning into a more involved effort than it is worth at this stage though, so please do fail-fast rather than frittering away time on this before we need it.

see here for a map of what I've found: I don't think it is going to happen without having some code written which sets up like memory mapping and interrupts the way EFI does
