Hi Herald,

...

We changed the memory clock to a lower frequency(90MHz to 67MHz) and the the "Bad Data CRC" error has gone. Thanks alot.

ok, this most likely means that you have some problems with your hardware design, probably exceeding the maximum permitted capacitive bus load. well, how do you copy the image into ram? It doesn't really matter from where the image is copied. What matters is that apparently the source of the copy is not equal to the destination of the copy. Even if you copy 'directly' via JTAG there is a source and a destination. and the destination will suffer through corruption if SDRAM timing or bus clock are wrong.

The settings for the UPLLCON and MPLLCON were being done for 16MHz external clock. Now we have changed that and made the settings for 12MHz clock(our board clock). Now, core is running at 271.5MHz, and the rest at 1:8:16 (FCLK:HCLK:PCLK).

Now we have managed to get the output as follows:

U-Boot 1.3.2 (Apr 9 2008 - 09:45:21)

DRAM: 1 Flash: 32 MB Using default environment

In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Hit any key to stop autoboot: 3

U-Boot 1.3.2 (Apr 9 2008 - 09:45:21)

OK Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK

Uncompressing Linux.............................................................. ................ done, booting the kernel.

and then it hangs. We are writing the kernel image directly to the ram to 33000000 via JTAG. How do I proceed from here?

Thanks alot for your previous mails. It is helping us alot in debugging the hardware and softwares.

Thank You, Tiju
