Not yet. It would always timeout waiting for whatever it's waiting for
after loading the firmware.
The hardware exposes the program counter for the internal CPU (VCPU?)
from what I can tell.
>From what I can see there the firmware is running as the PC values
look roughly the same as the same hardware running the vendor SDK
image with their binary driver.

When messing with something else (2D gpu) I saw the behaviour change.
So I think there is a clock setting missing.
I will debug this over the weekend and get back to you.

Knowing what the driver is expecting would really help though.

> Does the driver code in https://github.com/linux-chenxing/linux/tree/mstar_v5_17_rebase includes a fix to the bug you mentioned above?

Yep.

I'm going to have another go at getting it to do more this weekend.
I'll update you if/when I find anything.

Cheers,

Daniel
