Meta layers

Key repositories

meta-nezha-bsp layer contains custom recipes for u-boot, Linux, OpenSBI and boot0. This recipes get code from fork of repos patched / created by smaeul:

OpenSBI: d1-wip branch
u-boot: d1-wip branch
Linux: riscv/d1-wip branch
boot0: mainline branch

Current status

19.11.2021

System boots now. Kernel Panic error was caused by rng which is used to generate entropy. It cannot handle SIGSEGV signal in libc-2.33. The solution for this was to replace the rng-tools with haveged.

14.11.2021

u-boot problem fixed with patch:

meta-nezha-bsp/recipes-bsp/u-boot/files/0001-sun20i-set-CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN.patch

kernel is booting to this moment:
