Porting Fiasco + L4Re to Raspberry Pi 2

Hello l4-hackers,

I am currently working on porting the Fiasco.OC micro kernel onto the
Raspberry pi 2.

Therefore, I am struggling with memory mapping, and I encounter the
following error when launching the default 'hello' entry:

Hello from Startup::stage2

Assertion failed
at /home/adebut/Documents/snapshotTest/l4re-snapshot-2015123115/src/kernel/fiasco/src/kern/buddy_alloc.cpp:101:
(unsigned long)block >= _base

Press any key to reboot.

I am currently working on the latest snapshot (2015123115), with
U-Boot as a bootloader, and testing on a real board (Raspberry Pi 2
model B V1.1). The entry built is the standard 'hello', and I use the
ramdisk-arm.rd given in the snapshot.

I did add a custom Bsp for the board, mainly based on the first
Raspberry Pi except for the Base Address, that is 0x3F000000
instead of the first Pi's 0x20000000.

I highly think that it is an address configuration problem, because it
first happened when I did expand the RAM size to 1024MB.
With further investigation, I found out that it was the kernel memory
allocation that causes this error, and suspect an incorrect MMU mapping.
This suspicion comes from the fact that the assertion takes the address
_base (0xf0400000) and the currently allocated block (0xee100000).

I did not modify any parameter in the kern/arm/mem_layout-arm.cpp file
on the Fiasco directory, which provides the default ARM addressing.
Maybe that's where my error comes from ? How can I correctly configure
my memory mapping, besides what I already configure in the Bsp (given in
attachment) ?

Also, it is the first time that I am assigned for porting a system, do
you have some hints, like important steps to follow ?

I am pretty sure it is a newbie error, but I cannot figure it out for
now :(

Thanks in advance for your time,
