Re: xen cache colors in ARM
Hello Michal,
I was not able to enable earlyprintk in the xen for now. I decided to choose another way. This is a xen's command line that I found out completely.
(XEN) $$$$ console=dtuart dtuart=serial0 dom0_mem=1600M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0_vcpus_pin bootscrub=0 vwfi=native sched=null timer_slop=0
So you are absolutely right about a command line. Now I am going to find out why xen did not have the correct parameters from the device tree.
Regards, Oleg

In the .config file or in some Yocto file (listing additional Kconfig options) added to SRC_URI?
You shouldn't really modify .config file but if you do, you should execute "make olddefconfig" afterwards.

I hope you added =y to them.
Anyway, you have at least the following solutions:
1) Run bitbake xen -c menuconfig to properly set early printk
2) Find out how you enable other Kconfig options in your project (e.g. CONFIG_COLORING=y that is not enabled by default)
3) Append the following to "xen/arch/arm/configs/arm64_defconfig":
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_ZYNQMP=y
