Subject: cortex-a9 boot issue
Date: Wed, 1 May 2019 10:32:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BYAPR16MB27449301E98456E00CC0EE32913B0@BYAPR16MB2744.namprd16.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

I have added support for a cortex-a9 off the master branch. 

I am seeing an issue to boot to the prompt found in the function hyp_install. The assembly code is as follows:
	mrs	r12, cpsr
	and	r12, r12, #MODE_MASK

	@ Save the initial CPU state
	adr	r0, .L__boot_cpu_mode_offset
	ldr	r1, [r0]
	str	r12, [r0, r1]   ===> I get an exception here because the register r12 is being written to [r0 + r1] which points to the SPI NOR  boot flash.

Commenting out the call to all functions calling hyp_install, barebox does get to the prompt. 

Is there something I could be missing that would put the __boot_cpu_mode variable in a writable area?

Cheers,
Renaud
