Hi, I have a problem with the u-boot shipped with Ubuntu and Debian images. I have a stock of Orange Pi Zero 3 with 2GB of RAM and this is happening on the batch 24-01 (I don't know if it is important but I would like to specify it). The problem is that u-boot is detecting 4GB of RAM almost at every boot and this then breaks the system. From the serial output I get the log below. Do you think there is a way to fix the issue or even to hardcode the size? I had this problem with also the previous version of u-boot since the ubuntu image was updated last October. Also, the u-boot in SPI, version 2018.05, always detects the correct amount.

@Ripper346 thanks for the hint ;)
reverse this patch in u-boot: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/cc4513958fb01d0fcdafe96144d2da76bcd51427/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/opizero3-1.5GB-trim-from-u-boot-v2024.01.patch#L64

just restore the "return" instead of "size =" and the code flow works without 1.5G detection... more stable for me!

@tmoore22 after doing the patch, how do you build the new u-boot? I tried with make orangepi_zero3_defconfig; make all but I don't know then what to do with all the files it makes. I tried also with the orangepi-build tool but it fails

Thanks @tmoore22, I already set the BL31 and I don't need the cross-compilation since I was directly compiling in the oPi zero 3 to be sure (and prior I tried also on a oPi 5B). Via make I am able to finish the compilation but I don't know what to do with all the files that it generates. My objective is to substitute the u-boot in the ubuntu image/TF and after the make I thought that I had the new boot folder to replace but it seems this isn't the case.

有一个可行方法，在 scripts/compilation.sh 中做如下修改：
git diff ：

diff --git a/scripts/compilation.sh b/scripts/compilation.sh
index b1420a7..5a74520 100755
--- a/scripts/compilation.sh

                ${OUTPUT_VERYSILENT:+' >/dev/null 2>/dev/null'}

观察报错是与 ccahe 的使用相关，直接移除掉能编译成功的。
