For UART, use this patch: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-arm-msm/msg27201.html
I can use the same bootloader that I use for 8devices Jalapeno then, I modified it for the company that I work for and its meant to be used for IQP40XX series, so no modifications for that.
Biggest issue is that since there is no dtb available I cant read which pins are used for what.
@adron It looks like RouterBoot on RB450Gx4 does not like either my version of u-boot or GL-Inets, simply says kernel out of range and refuses to boot them
Hello. kernel out of range means incorrect TEXT_BASE address! RouterBOOT checks it in ELF. For RB3011 I changed CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE to 0x41200000 and only after that it began to load.
Do you maybe have a hint on figuring out what is the correct one, I tried 0x41200000 like you did and RouterBoot will load it but after jumping to kernel it will simply reset.
Its most likely because U-boot cant access that adress.
I think 0x41200000 for IPQ-806X and 0x87300000 for IPQ-4XXX.
In a week I will get my RB450Gx4 and check it out. Now I am working on an intermediate bootloader.
In general, the fact that a U-Boot does not display any messages on a screen can be many reasons. For example, incorrect initialization of the UART port and a whole lot more! Need to watch.
Try something like this:
static board_ipq4xxx_params_t *get_board_param(unsigned int machid)
{
unsigned int index = 0;
machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK01_1_S1; //!!!!
on uboot/board/qcom/ipq40xx_cdp/ipq40xx_cdp.c
machids for check:
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK01_1_S1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK01_1_C1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK01_1_C2,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK04_1_C1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK04_1_C4,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK04_1_C2,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK04_1_C3,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK04_1_C5,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK05_1_C1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK06_1_C1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK07_1_C1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_AP_DK07_1_C2,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_DB_DK01_1_C1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_DB_DK02_1_C1,
.machid = MACH_TYPE_IPQ40XX_TB832
Hm, I already tried with 0x87300000 as base address and I got kernel is out of range error.

kernel loading failed
Yes, checking machids makes sense as U-boot I was using is meant for a DK04.1 based board while DTB when converted back to DTS indicates that DK01.1 reference design was used.
But U-boot that I am using has all of the reference designs listed in ipq40xx_board_param.h and a for loop is used to check whether the board matches one of those.
Even if wrong board is detected it makes not sense for RouterBoot to refuse booting the image with correct BASE adress
Try to place reset_cpu(0); in a start of get_board_param. I don’t know how to IPQ-4XXX, but for a IPQ-806X, a watch dog reloads the CPU once in a 30 seconds. When the console did not work for me, I use this trick to checked whether the code is being executed or not.
Some progress, with #define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x80000000
It gets partially booting, it loads U-boot but after couple of seconds it gets reset.
setting up elf image... OK

Unfortunately, it did not help.
It still gets stuck on the same thing and resets.
Did I express my hate for RouterBoot and Mikrotiks locking everything already?
I don't know yet. But I think that we can deal with this problem. The fact that you managed to start an U-Boot is already very good. Next we need to determine where exactly it is stuck.
And my work on creating an intermediate loader is progressing. So soon everything will be easier.
Yes, its most likely stuck either on a weird instruction or trying to init something it should not do.
Issue is that I have worked on U-boot previously but it was only adding recovery UI so I dont know how to debug it.
Loader would be awesome as it would enable use to completely get rid of this U-boot step.

Network not working. Apparently because of the lack of smem initialization?
Awesome job, it could easily be SMEM but it also could easily be due to wrong GPIO pins in DTS since it will most definitively be different than R7500v2 that you are using as base.
Is there a lot of platform specific stuff in the loader?
I am really looking forward to getting RB450Gx4 finally booting
The loader with minor modifications should also work on a Rb450Gx4. Tomorrow, if I can, I'll go pick up the Rb450Gx4 from delivery service and try to run on it.
I can test it on mine if you publish the source code and custom image generation needed
After correction of qcom-ipq8064-r7500v2.dts eth0 and switch0 works ok. eth0 appeared gmac0 not gmac1.
But if I try to add mdio1 for eth1, all mdios(mdio0, mdio1) stop working.
Kernel report this error:

Finally I got an RB450Gx4. Mikrotik presumably setup a watchdog for 1 second. I still do not understand how to turn it off.
