[ipxe-devel] problem to run ipxe from u-boot on arm64/nvidia jetson tx2

[Sergii Nedosiekov]

Hi!

As a hw platform to run iPXE I using nVidia jetson devboard with arm64 cpu

u-boot is a part of flow in this board so I want to load iPXE efi app 
and run it:

I have build IPXE efi app using vi this make args:

make bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi -j6

and then in u-boot have load from tftp:

Tegra186 (P2771-0000-500) # tftp b0000000 192.168.1.1:snp.efi
ethernet at 2490000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete...... done
Using ethernet at 2490000 device
TFTP from server 192.168.1.1; our IP address is 192.168.1.100
Filename 'snp.efi'.
Load address: 0xb0000000
Loading: ###########
          28.3 KiB/s
done
Bytes transferred = 148992 (24600 hex)

after this I calling bootefi:


Tegra186 (P2771-0000-500) # bootefi b0000000 80000000

all before  printf I have add in u-boot bootefi handler to understad 
what is going wrong.

I have calculate offsets and exception have been occurred:

ELR:     fea89758 -> 1758

looks like 0xfeb2c000 (ie a4000) should be in .relock section and 
probably this is correct:

readpe ./bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi

toolchain is aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -v

gcc 8.3.0 (GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 8.3-2019.03 
(arm-rel-8.36))

with Linaro 7.3.1 (recommended by nvidia ) behavior the same

may be linker script or u-boot sections parser\relocation is not ok?
My knowledge not enough to understand a reason of this crush and how to 
fix it, are some one could help/direct me with this?
