I don't know why you're using the rpi-linear branch when the rpi-split branch has the same content but everything already split into separate patches... > I've used Simon's tree before and it will boot up all the way with UART > support (no graphics, usb, network).

It has supported graphics for a while: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/wiki/How-to-boot-using-device-tree#wiki-Configuration I've been waiting over 3 months now for device tree support to be added to the GPU-based bootloader and it still hasn't appeared. > Why, in particular, did you strip it down? > > I'm new to the ARM SoC upstreaming scene so there might be a obvious > reason of which I'm not aware. > > -- > Seth -- Simon Arlott
