Reverting commit id 86ade2cc2553c942d9526c5323a11ae151653505 fixes the problem. May have side effects on other platforms too... 58592 1 sgw 2016-02-04 16:32:28 +0000 Can you provide more details on what it means to be "miscompiled"? Can you narrow down what part of u-boot is being miscompiled? 58596 2 disabled.steve.sakoman 2016-02-04 16:53:21 +0000 You might try building v2015.10 u-boot.

That u-boot doesn't work as expected. It gets stuck right after printing out it's version string and amount of RAM. > Can you > narrow down what part of u-boot is being miscompiled? Without hardware debugger it is quite hard to see where it gets stuck. 58641 4 jussi.laako 2016-02-05 13:33:45 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > You might try building v2015.10 u-boot. > > There is a recipe for it in the jethro branch of the bap: > > http://sandbox.sakoman.com/git/?p=meta-edison-bsp.git;a=tree;f=recipes-bsp/u- > boot;h=f28ac38ee4b89970801e534b880de890d1fab65c;hb=refs/heads/jethro Result didn't change much: ****************************** PSH KERNEL VERSION: b0182b2b WR: 20104000 ****************************** SCU IPC: 0x800000d0 0xfffce92c PSH miaHOB version: TNG.B0.VVBD.0000000c microkernel built 11:24:08 Feb 5 2015 ******* PSH loader ******* PCM page cache size = 192 KB Cache Constraint = 0 Pages Arming IPC driver ..

It is based on the HEAD of the 2.26 branch and there will be a 2.26.1 release coming soon, not sure the exact date. Marking this wait for upstream until that release comes. 59041 9 raj.khem 2016-02-15 17:09:06 +0000 this should be fixed by http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-February/117529.html once it lands in master. 59110 10 sgw 2016-02-16 16:06:06 +0000 Thanks to Khem! Binutils is updated to include this patch in master now. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=138778501367d3cd0036fc31afbbedce0016f478
