cross-compiling the thing without VFT resolves the issue. .. ELF-loader started on CPU: ARM Ltd. Cortex-A15 r2p4 paddr=[82000000..8248841f] ELF-loading image 'kernel' paddr=[80000000..8002ffff] vaddr=[f0000000..f002ffff] virt_entry=f0000000 ELF-loading image 'sel4test-driver' paddr=[80030000..80410fff] vaddr=[10000..3f0fff] virt_entry=1e8d4 Enabling MMU and paging Jumping to kernel-image entry point...
Now it stay here - but that's some other issue I need to double check.

Hi Alex,
Regardless, seL4 does not support it.
ignore my last mail - just saw you pointed to the fact that sel4 doesn't support VFT.
But I am still wondering about cross compiling the project - Is it enough to set CONFIG_KERNEL_CFLAGS and CONFIG_USER_CFLAGS ?
You can compile with `make V=3` and check each invocation of the compiler to ensure that the flags are correct.
The appropriate args should be passed to your compiler to prevent its use.
Btw. do you have an good alternative? The toolchain is currently configured with --with-fpu=neon-vfpv4
The best alternative that I can suggest is to use the supported toolchain for seL4: https://sel4.systems/Info/GettingStarted/DebianToolChain.pml

Hi Alex,
I've checked how a working Linux image looks like and it seems it is compiled with $ arm-cortexa15-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -A -n vmlinux .. Tag_CPU_name: "7-A" Tag_CPU_arch: v7 Tag_CPU_arch_profile: Application Tag_ARM_ISA_use: Yes Tag_THUMB_ISA_use: Thumb-2 Tag_FP_arch: VFPv2 .. compiled with -msoft-float -mfpu=vfp.
Adding CONFIG_KERNEL_CFLAGS="-marm -mtune=cortex-a15 -march=armv7-a -msoft-float -mfpu=vfp -mtls-dialect=gnu -g -std=gnu11 -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector" CONFIG_USER_CFLAGS="-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=700 -marm -mtune=cortex-a15 -march=armv7-a -msoft-float -mfpu=vfp -mtls-dialect=gnu -g -std=gnu11 -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector"
will cause linker issues ld: error: elfloader.o uses VFP register arguments, /stage/arm/keystone/lib/libcpio.a(cpio.o) does not
Is there some more other config parameter which needs to be considered as well?
Thanks!

Hi Wladislav,
Does the architecture support the VFP extension?
Regardless, seL4 does not support it. The appropriate args should be passed to your compiler to prevent its use.

I attached the Lauterbach and it seems when executing elf_getMemoryBounds() it jumps to invalid memory region when initializing uint64_t mem_min = UINT64_MAX;
Disassembled it seems it happens when executing this instruction: vmov.64 d16,0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Does somebody has an idea whats going wrong in that case? Same thing happens when executing such code e.g. in platform_init().
Thanks! Wladislav Wiebe

another interesting thing is, even putting a debug print to: diff --git a/elfloader-tool/src/arch-arm/elf/elf.c b/elfloader-tool/src/arch-arm/elf/elf.c index 1751c5c..f16492d 100644 --- a/elfloader-tool/src/arch-arm/elf/elf.c +++ b/elfloader-tool/src/arch-arm/elf/elf.c @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ elf_getMemoryBounds(void *elfFile, int phys, uint64_t *min, uint64_t *max) uint64_t mem_min = UINT64_MAX; uint64_t mem_max = 0; int i;

will not be visible in the startup anymore ..
