L4Linux stop at "Calibrating delay loop ..."

[Reinier Millo Sánchez]

Hi

We had a similar problem working with Fiasco.OC and GendodeOS on 
ODROID-X2 (Exynos4412) platform. In this case after the review of 
GenodeOS and Fiasco.OC, we identified a small problem in the TrustZone 
implementation, where interrupts remain disabled.

Perhaps this is not the same problem but it can help.

Best regards
