Sorry, I always mix up Allwinner with Marvell, where you changed some things in generic_xhci_fdt. … Mo matter, what I wanted to say is that there perhaps could be some need to add things for the bcm-soc what is called ACPi-glue by jmcneill in his sources… `hope you are right that it `ll be only a simple bugfix for you to get the right IRQ setup in generic_xhci.c … > Am 28.03.2020 um 23:27 schrieb Mike Karels <mike@karels.net>: > > > I’m not ready to put the source out in public, as the copyright notice is not yet approved.

Well, jmcneill, where you derived the genet-driver-sources from, has already integrated the driver in UEFI, while it is not yet integrated in rpi4-uefi upstream, afaik. You can dual-boot in UEFI from dt(hangs at gpioregulator at the moment) or ACPI(hangs unrelenting at greg`s irq-code at the the moment[.. just kidding] . They are working on netboot at the moment .. I really suggest to track the UEFI - devs to understand what’s going on there.. it could be the right way to finally get this damned board under control.. Regards Klaushome | help
