@asac thanks for there post. I'll check it.

[nandra]

@asac please check this PR #404 . Also if you have board please try if it boots. Thanks.

[asac]

@nandra thanks. the PR builds successfully. I don't have the device (yet). Found this issue while integrating sunxi BSPs for meta-pantavisor.

But let me get one and report back...

[nandra]

@asac ok thanks. I'll close this one and if something won't work feel free to open new one ;). Thanks.

Hey @nandra ... today got R1 device and it boots. Havent gone deeper into drivers etc. but thanks for the quick fix on this. well done...
