From e1d8a14cd0a9f8844f9ebb8ca220780b0ce5d6db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pawel Dembicki Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2021 12:22:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ramips: mt7620: add kernel size for Jboot devices Since few months multiple users reported problems with various JBoot devices. [0][1][2][3] All of them was bricked. On my Lava LR-25G001 it freezes with current snapshot: CDW57CAM_003 Jboot B695 Giga Switch AR8327 init AR8327/AR8337 id ==> 0x1302 JRecovery Version R1.2 2014/04/01 18:25 SPI FLASH: MX25l12805d 16M . . (freeze) The kernel size is >2048k. I built current master with minimal config and it boots well: CDW57CAM_003 Jboot B695 Giga Switch AR8327 init AR8327/AR8337 id ==> 0x1302 JRecovery Version R1.2 2014/04/01 18:25 SPI FLASH: MX25l12805d 16M . ........................... Starting kernel @80000000... [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.4.124 Kernel size is <2048k. Jboot bootloader isn't open source, so it's impossible to find solution in code. It looks, that some buffer for kernel have 2MB size. To avoid bricked devices, this commit introduces 2048k limit kernel size for all jboot routers.
