Hi,

I'm porting U-Boot to a ppc440 core based SoC. The system now doesn't have flash. So CFG_NO_FLASH and CFG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE are defined. After stucked in DDR mem initialization for a while (logic designers need to fix their bugs), I finally make U-Boot run on the system and the prompt is shown on the console. But the first command I typed causes u-boot to crash. The strange thing is that there is nothing in the call backtrace. Any hints to the cause? The chip is running on an emulator and the only modules u-boot brings up is UART and DDR. It may not be stable. So h/w still is more suspicious than u-boot itself. I wanna make sure this illeagal instruction exception isnot caused by u-boot.
