MidasBootloaderIncompatibleWithLinux

Introduction

The bootloader of the following devices is incopatible with upstream Linux:
  • Galaxy SIII (GT-I9300)
  • Galaxy SIII 4G (GT-I9305)
  • Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100)
  • Galaxy Note II 4G (GT-N7105)
When jumping to Linux, the booloader still has:
  • the instruction cache on
  • the data cache on
  • the MMU on
Documentation/arm/booting.rst which is there since 2003 states that:
  • "The MMU must be off."
  • "Data cache must be off."
