Hello xen-users,

Hello,

we are trying to get Xen running on a Toradex "Colibri iMX8X"
module (see [1] at the bottom of this email), which features
the
iMX8 QXP
prozessor.
We found that NXP has a Xen reference implementation [2][3]
for their MEK Module and tried to port that to the Toradex
module.

When booting via the bootscript [4], which is unaltered except
for the "dom0fdt_file" and "xenhyper_bootargs" variables, we
get the following
error:

[...] (See [5] for complete bootlog)
(XEN) *** LOADING DOMAIN 0 ***
(XEN) Missing kernel boot module?
(XEN)
(XEN) ****************************************
(XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
(XEN) Could not set up DOM0 guest OS
(XEN) ****************************************
(XEN)
(XEN) Reboot in five seconds...

For Dom0 we took the linux-toradex kernel source, ran "make
xenconfig"
[6], which should add Xen-support and rebuilt the Image with
"make
Image".
For dom0 DTB [7] we copied the dom0 DTS NXP uses for their
MEK-Module
[8] and only adjusted the "bootargs" parameter.
This Linux Image was able to run after we rebuilt and booted
it without
Xen.

Which Device-Tree did you for boot Linux without Xen?

Used the same Device-Tree Binary that we want to use with Xen
which is described in [7]. In [7] you can see rows 23 and 24,
which include the Devicetree as it is supplied by Toradex.
To boot linux with our dom0 DTB, the u-boot variable fdt_file was
changed from fsl-imx8qxp-colibri-eval-v3.dtb to
fsl-imx8qxp-colibri-eval-v3-dom0.dtb.


Did you use the U-Boot cmd 'xenmmcboot' or 'xennetboot'?

To boot linux without Xen the u-boot cmd 'boot' is used.
To boot Xen we use 'run xenmmcboot' (in an adjusted form to account
for different filenames and bootargs, see [4]).

So kernel Image loaded to 0x80a00000, right?

Please load kernel image before run xenmmcboot if not.

The xenmmcboot script [4] line 25 loads the linux image.
Inserting the values for the variables in this line gives:
'fatload mmc 0:1 0x92000000 image'
So we load the kernel image to 0x92000000. Is this not the right adress?
How can the right adress, to load the kernel image to, be determined?

With U-boot, you will have to unfortunately determine the address manually. I usually use the address provided by U-boot for baremetal boot and load both Xen and Linux close to each other.

Loading it to 0x80a00000 yields the same error ("Missing kernel boot
module?")

It may be possible that the Device-Tree node is incorrect. Would it be possible to dump the Device-Tree node /chosen/ in either U-boot or Xen?

Cheers,
