[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-ppc] Kernel crashes in boot on p2041rdb / p3041ds (master)

[Martin Borg]

Hi,
 
I built core-image-minimal on master branch for p2041rdb and p3041ds and encounter kernel crashes early in boot on both boards. Yocto has recently upgraded to binutils version 2.26, I tested to revert back to the previous version (2.25.1) and then the build produced a working image.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Martin
