Nice catch, this workaround worked for me with both 5.3.x from unstable and 5.4.x from experimental by essentially not configuring it to use any .dtb file and just using the device-tree loaded by qemu/opensbi at $fdtcontroladdr ... which the u-boot packages in Debian were patched to support: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1151125/ There's some discussion on it about weather it's correct to use $fdtcontroladdr vs. $fdt_addr_r and other various issues, so the patch has not landed in upstream u-boot yet. > Another perspective, Linux 5.3 introduced new image header for RISC-V. > > RISC-V: Add an Image header that boot loader can parse. > https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0f327f2aaad6a87356cbccfa390d4d3b64d0d3b6 This was backported to Debian's linux 5.2.6-1. > For this, following patch will be needed which is committed after v2019.10. > > https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/commit/70d64a4c7646aa51c0334618ccb9af0132d9d834 I'll be testing u-boot 2020.01-rc5 soon and seeing what changes may be needed... live well, vagrant
