I am trying to boot seL4 on beaglebone white. I have an initial code just to configure the DDR2 memory at range 0x80000000-0xbfffffff.
As we can see below, the start address is the virtual address 0xf0000000 but at this point I have no MMU configured. I was thinking that the segment .boot should be the code to prepare all details about MMU/D-CACHE/I-CACHE but it's not what gdb is understanding based in the elf header.
Someone could explain to me how is the kernel boot; what do I have to consider. I guess that beaglebone is not supported but this is exactly my goal, to make seL4 boot on beaglebone.
Any help or suggestion is very welcome.
Sincerely, Jorge Ventura
