RK3036 boot stops - rockchip branch

  • Hello,

    trying to get RK3036 Kylin up and running in the Rockchip branch and it gives me the headache.

    1.) I have tried using the solid working .config for the kernel which comes from the original rockchip-linux kernel, which works
    just fine for a Debian rootfs, e.g. whole image boots -> no luck, when switching to rootfs(hopefully) the boot freezes

    2.) I have tried using the Tinkerboard linux.arm.conf which is in the repo, which has the same kernel config in the rockchip-linux kernel,

    so I thought would be a good start -> no luck, boot hangs the same way

    3.) I have copied back the linux.arm.conf (e.g. as .config, recompiled my kernel) in my "ethalon" RK3036 image, surprise the image boots just fine

    4.) I have checked whether I am missing anything in the DTS or not,

    So I am completely puzzled. Can anyone shed some light on what might go sideways? First I thought that the hardcoded tty0 (in the extlinux.cfg

    kernel parameter) causes the issue, but even if I get rid of that the boot still hangs.

    Thanks,
