Hi Yanyan, Thanks for your reply. That is a very good point! I think it may well be easier to add the other board support parts for the RPi4 to the build system, rather than figuring out what needs to be done for the RPi3 interrupt controller… Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be sure to let you know how I get on.

More work is needed for SoCs without such hardware support. BTW, it looks like Raspberry Pi4 (bcm2711) has a GIC-400 controller. Would you consider the new version?

Hi,
I have been attempting to add support for the Raspberry Pi 3 b platform so that I can run the vm_minimal application on it. The platform supports ARM_HYP, so I believe it should be possible to get this working.
I have reached to point where ninja errors on an implicit declaration for `set_gic_vcpu_ctrl_hcr`. From what I understand, this is to do with the ARM Generic Interrupt Controller, however the RPi3b doesn't have a GIC, it has a `bcm2836-armctrl-ic`. This occurs because the file vcpu.h defines an inline function that calls this function, however as the RPi3b doesn't have a GIC, neither the gic_v2.h or gic_v3.h files are provided in the build environment, and hence the build fails.
I am unsure what this means in terms of implementation. What needs to be added or changed to get this compiling for the RPi3b?
Thanks in advance
Ben Turner
