Hi,

I am facing intermittend boot failures resulting in a data abort. Boot log and environment attached below. The uboot is built with rpi_defconfig with OF_BOARD to get uboot to pass through the FDT.

Note:

(1) If I boot this image directly using the RPI bootloader, the kernel (with initramfs embedded) boots fine consistently.

(2) However, I get inconsistent failures with uboot. My gut tells me memory is getting corrupted.

(3) Sometimes just adding one option to the bootargs breaks the next boot.

(4) It seems the FDT address changes slightly (see failed vs OK). Not sure if this is expected from start.elf (I assume the FDT address is supplied to u- boot).

(5) Is the size of the image overwriting anything in u-boot? I am not that familiar with the u-boot memory map.

I boot using the following environment changes: bootargs=bootslot=a console=ttyAMA0,115200 root=/dev/null bootcmd=fatload mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} kernel.a.img ; bootz ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdtcontroladdr}

Do you have the same problems when using ${fdt_addr}?

Any ideas?

Regards, Fred
