Hi,

I am using u-boot as Bootloader for my PPC440 core based hardware board.

I am trying to run the u-boot code from Context RAM (Size 4 MB) instead of DDR and I am successful in it.

But I am observing a machine check exception error while doing board hard reset (by pressing the reset key on board).

When I do the Core reset or Chip reset using BDI3000 debugger, I am not getting any exception error.

But when I press the reset key on board, I am getting an machine check exception error and my board reboots always and continue to generate the exception error.

One thing I noted that, when I shutdown the board system and again restarts the board, then everything is fine and this time I am not getting the exception error.

I am little bit confused because of this abnormal behavior. I believe this issue might be relevant with memory allocation.

I am getting error after this statement mem_malloc_init (), in lib_ppc/board.c file

Code snippet (lib_ppc/board.c) | |

        asm ("sync ; isync");



        /* initialize malloc() area */

        *mem_malloc_init ();*

        malloc_bin_reloc ();

#if !defined(CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH) puts ("FLASH: "); | |

If anyone has faced this kind of problem earlier, please share your experience.

Thanks & Regards,

Prakash
