Dear everyone:
I baremetal boot the Cortex-A55,want it to work on AARCH32 state at the EL1,but always into the exception.
I refer to the book which named DAI0527A_baremetal_boot_code_for_ARMv8_A_processors .
// Initialize the SCTLR_EL1 register before entering EL1.MSR SCTLR_EL1, XZRMRS X0, HCR_EL2BIC X0, X0, #(1<<31) // RW=0 EL1 Execution state is AArch32.MSR HCR_EL2, X0MOV X0, #0b10011 // DAIF=0000MSR SPSR_EL2, X0 // M[4:0]=10011 EL1 is SVC mode must match HCR_EL2.RW.// Determine EL1 Execution state.ADR X0, el1_entry // el1_entry points to the first instruction of SVCMSR ELR_EL2, X0 // mode code.ERETel1_entry:// EL1 code here.
What exception do you see? In particular, what EL is the exception taken to and what ESR_ELx value is reported?
Please check SCR_EL3.NS bit to confirm whehter the code is switching to secure or non secure EL1.
Thank you very much. I will try again and give your zhe wrong information
I saw the Cortex-A55 Product Specifications。It can work on AARCH32 at EL0 status。
