08:27 jnettlet[m]> suihkulokki: the Mellanox PCIe cards? They work well.
08:27 jnettlet[m]> Ke: what is not working with u-boot?
08:28 jnettlet[m]> as for the performance problems. I think it may be a firmware issue for the phys. it has been reported.
08:28 Ke> for me u-boot is unable to start grub-efi
08:29 Ke> or anything, but grub-efi is the primary target
09:38 jnettlet[m]> Ke: yes this is an issue with u-boot itself. It needs to disable the d-cache before launching the UEFI app, in this case grub-efi. However there are additional bugs that I am trying to sort out.
10:17 suihkulokki> The tianocore codebase is such a eyesore I wouldn't mind if u-boot became the standard EFI implementation...
10:23 jnettlet[m]> I doubt that will happen. It is missing a lot of the security features. I am not sure if verified boot even works yet.
10:26 agraf> jnettlet[m]: not yet, no
10:27 agraf> jnettlet[m]: as for d-cache, I don't understand
10:27 agraf> jnettlet[m]: why would you need to disable the d-cache on arm64?
10:28 agraf> jnettlet[m]: edk2 runs with dcache enabled (otherwise unaligned accesses wouldn't work)
10:32 jnettlet[m]> agraf: u-boot bug most likely. Haven't had time to look at it.
11:04 jnettlet[m]> anyways with dcache enabled I run into. "Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000045
11:04 jnettlet[m]> ELR: 7ff7dee8
11:05 jnettlet[m]> however with it disabled boot still fails but with another error. Something has gone seriously wrong: Device Error
11:05 jnettlet[m]> Shim was unable to measure state into the TPM
11:06 jnettlet[m]> I know this was an issue for a while on Dell XPS 13's with TPM 2.0 enabled
17:36 topi`> I tried to compile my own mainline kernel for clearfog pro, but it fails to boot (got stuck at Starting kernel...) any ideas what's going on?
17:36 topi`> bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4
17:54 topi`> maybe wrong .dtb... but I installed a388-clearfogpro.dtb
