Thanks! there were developments on a different board

so far everything is in order, let’s see more logs, change the /dev/mmcblk0p1 (sdcard) in file /extlinux/extlinux.conf loglevel=8

It does boot from uSD. Nice job.

avaf · December 5, 2021, 8:21pm

Do you have panfrost running?

mara · December 5, 2021, 8:54pm

No, the driver is included in the kernel:
CONFIG_DRM_PANFROST=y

avaf · December 5, 2021, 9:54pm

I have that, but it is not probed. I wonder if it is ready to work on rk356x or needs something else to be configured.

avaf · December 5, 2021, 10:01pm

I mean, no trace of gpu in kernel log.
Would you know what device should i see?

mara · December 5, 2021, 10:33pm

yes, something like:
