     @drewdevault do you have a binary somewhere?

     @mntmn oh and if your interrupt controller isn't a GIC, that'll need a new driver too

     @mntmn don't get too excited, though, the most interesting thing you're likely to see is the test suite passing on the serial port

     @mntmn EFI implementation (edk2 or u-boot should both work), a device tree, and implementations of relevant drivers (we already have PL011 if that's what your serial port uses)

     @drewdevault sorry, couldn't get to it yet—also serial on imx is not standard afaik

     @drewdevault here are all the drivers for 9front, see also uartimx.c https://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/80d256149b5dbef1f435df2ebb188f3572613225/sys/src/9/imx8/f.html

     @drewdevault yeah, the high 1GB is past 32bit

     @mntmn FYI this is also only 3 GiB of RAM... specs suggest it should be 4?

     @mntmn

     Re: reg = <0x00000000 0x40000000 0 0xc0000000>; // TODO: confirm what this means

     FYI, this means that there's 0xc0000000 bytes of conventional memory starting at address 0x40000000

     included imx8mq.dtsi sets address-cells and size-cells to 2, so this is (addr, addr, size, size), each encoded as two 32-bit numbers in big endian

     See device tree spec 2.3.5
