Switch from sunxi to upstream U-Boot #58

Closed talex5 closed 9 years ago

talex5 commented 9 years ago

The patches we need were merged long ago.

Also, fix the Xen branch we use (was lost when the repository became a fork of mirage/xen).

The new U-Boot has a different memory layout and so requires Xen and Linux to be loaded at a different address. Thanks to @infidel for finding out what had moved there and to @Furao for updating for the CubieTruck.

Fixes #57.

superb! great to be going more upstream with these scripts.

BTW, these are only lightly tested: my laptop is having trouble writing to the sdcard (lots of kernels oopes), but it did boot to dom0.

Works fine for me so far. The only thing is that it is 16 commits behind the master branch.

talex5 commented 9 years ago

@infidel only 16 commits behind? It should be on the last stable release (2015.04). Looks like 2015.07 is out now anyway, so we could switch to that. Is there anything we need from it?

Never mind, I was talking about the fact that the parent of 0255386 was e9f9140 rather than fdd9fb5. This doesn't matter now but was simply a comment that my test of 0255386 was not strictly equivalent to testing 79b59c6 from the point of view of the image as a whole, but it's nitpicking.

talex5 commented 9 years ago

Oh, I see. My xen-arm-builder branch was behind, not U-Boot. Should be OK, but let me know if it breaks...
