It took several iterations to get done, but attached is the dts I wrote. Still, it doesn't boot and I get no message after the decompressor message. But I get something: the leds change according to the configuration of the dts, so something is going on (I noticed the change after several failed boot where no led changed and fixing a typo made it). My main problem is getting some debug messages: no amount of "debug" and "loglevel" on the command line seems to change anything. Is it too early in the boot process to get anything output or am I doing something wrong? (I activated some configs for debugging, but I may have missed the good one) Thanks, -- benjamin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
