Both 9.0_BETA and 9.99.2 boot fine for my Zero W.

Sorry for having been imprecise: turns out it is a W
"Raspberry Pi Zero W V1.1"

Given that I tried nyftp images to rule out local build issues, it's
interesting that it works for you. I will try again.

Tried again with

 http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201908012320Z/evbarm-earmv6hf/binary/gzimg/rpi_inst.img.gz

and got the rainbow. I'll start bissecting...

It seems I actually have 3 states:

- rainbow
- blank screen (and once with a few coloured dots)
- boot with green kernel messages



Haven't quite finished the (lengthy) bisection, but at the moment it looks
like the blank / boot boundary is going to coincide with the appearance
of dtb files. (I do cp  bcm2835-rpi-zero.dtb bcm2835-rpi-zero-w.dtb
as part of the process, just in case...)


Thanks for working on bisecting this.

Raspberry Pi got FDTised around this time

Iirc, the  rainbow screen means no kernel/dtb is loadable by the firmware.

Can you check if the dtb copy gives you a blank screen, ie no rainbow just after these changes. Serial console will help here if you have one


The rainbow I suspect is from some other change (much) later on.

Thanks,
Nick
