No, not at all. "Reset run" just skips all the statements in the init section of the BDI2000 config file. It seems that one of more of them are vital for successfully booting U-Boot on your board, and that these are missing / different in your port of U-Boot.
don't understand is why there would be a difference with the sdram initialization between powering up the target and issuing a bdi >go and issuing a >reset run xxxx? Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!
I really cannot follow you why you think this has anything to do with the SDRAM initialization; it can be any other part of the init sequence as well. Check your init section in the BDI config file, and remove it step by step, and you will soon see what's missing / wrong.
