I don't wanted to suggest to use an extra U-Boot. I was just not sure<br>
whether the stage 3 loader is an U-Boot. Your approach sounds fine so far.<br>

Some of the initialization is done on all cores. Some isn't. I took a<br>
look at the initialization and it seems that I was wrong: There is no<br>
wait loop. All processors are running through the initialization<br>
process. Some just skip parts. The part where they really start to<br>
differ is in bsp_start_hook_0.<br>

Maybe there is a timing difference between the simulator and the real<br>
hardware. I'm not sure how well tested the SMP code is on the Raspberry.<br>
There can be a hidden bug.<br>
<br>
Just a guess: If there is a bug it could be possible that you hit it<br>
with your rpi3 too. Maybe it would be good to try a single core version<br>
of the BSP. I assume you have configured with "--enable-smp"? Can you<br>
try to build without it?<o:p></o:p></p>

As soon as it is necessary: Sure. But from what you told me it seems<br>
that the hardware is very similar so that we won't hit this point soon.<br>
Or do you already see differences that would make it necessary.<br>
<br>
I haven't had a look at the details but it could also be possible to<br>
