It basically passes through the device tree that's generated by QEMU, yes. However, OVMF defaults changed a while back and it only exposes ACPI tables instead of DT in newer versions on AArch64 IIRC.
Maybe something went wrong and they changed them for armv7 as well by accident?
I use latest version of aarch32 OVMF firmware from openSUSE:Factory:ARM. Well, then, I suppose, I have to see appropriate EFI driver (FdtClientDxe ? ) in the driver list.
I don't think the fact that the driver is loaded tells you anything.
I assume you can't boot the VM properly? Does grub see the DT table? lsefi in grub should show you iirc.
If it doesn't show it, but instead shows ACPI tables, can you try to pass -no-acpi to QEMU?
There is nothing FDT-related at GRUB side. This is why I started to search who is responsible for providing FDT. -no-acpi also doesn't change anything.
grub> lsefi
Hm, that is the object list. Maybe it was lsefisystab?
Ok, here FDT is present (b1b621d5-...). How can I dump it from grub console? If I do it right, then It has correct magic header 0xd00dfeed.
Looks all green to me then. I guess you actually get into the kernel then with a working device tree, but just don't see output? Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
