Hi Josh,

cubieboards2 support is not really in place yet, so I'm afraid there
will currently be rough edges like this.

That said I think this worked for me, but based on the discussions I
think the better approach is to merge Andre's u-boot patches to support
entry in HYP mode into the cubieboard branch. I'll only work on
bootwrapper any further if some interesting platform comes along for
which there is no possibility of updating the bootloader, so for now you
should consider it dead/dormant.

Anyhow, I've tried inserting Andre's patches into the cubieboard2 uboot
and stumbled across a problem -- it turns out that u-boot has enabled
the MMU (SCTLR.M), apparently because it is required for the caches to
be on (see arch/arm/lib/cache-cp15.c:cache_enable). unfortunately SCTLR
is banked so when nonsec-virt.S:_secure_monitor enabled SCR.NS
everything falls apart. Naïvely enabling SCTLR.M while in monitor mode
didn't seem to help.

Calling cleanup_before_linux() early in armv7_switch_nonsec() seemed to
do the job -- Andre, do you think that is the right fix?

Not sure why this didn't affect vexpress etc -- perhaps caches aren't
enabled for that platform?

Even with this fixed things don't quite work for me, I don't quite
remember how/why (I last looked at this 7 days ago). I've been trying to
set aside Friday as "cubieboard hacking day", but I've ended up with a
bunch of meetings today, hopefully I'll still manage to investigate a
bit.

Ian.
