We've got the Rock 4b in our automated testing lab as part of kernelci and other efforts. Upstream works just fine on those boards, so it's likely an issue in your setup. See e.g https://lava.collabora.dev/scheduler/job/19978558#L525 for a recent upstream kernel boot.

Thanks a lot for the quick response! I can see some differences between this log and my setup. 1- My uboot seems ancient U-Boot 2017.09-00026-g2431fa34678 Compared to U-Boot 2024.07-rc4 2- The board model in this log is not 4b as mine Model: Radxa ROCK Pi 4A while mine shows Model: Radxa ROCK Pi 4B 3- I am using LLVM not GCC (I don't think that matters though) 4- I am using MMC to boot and not TFTP I will try to look more into the differences, and update this thread in case I was successful.

After updating u-boot the same issue persisted. However, I was able to boot with eMMC instead of an SD card. Which is strange, as I could boot an older kernel on an SD card with no problem.
