[U-Boot-Users] PROBLEM ABOUT PORTING U-BOOT-1.1.4 TO INTEL PXA255 BOARD

hi,u-boot-users
I am trying to port u-boot-1.1.4 to my board,But i meet some problems.
Main resources of the board: CPU : INTEL PXA255 400MHZ FLASH : INTEL TE28F128J3C150 32M SDRAM : SAMSUNG 64M
Problem description : According to the Lubbock developing board and the manual of my board , i have modified some files of uboot and compiled correctly(u-boot.bin is about 108K). Because i have no any hardware emulator, so i write a simple program to trace the uboot running, i find it stop in board_init() function(/u-boot-1.1.4/board/xhyper255/xhyper255.c).
int board_init (void) { DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR;
/* memory and cpu-speed are setup before relocation */ /* so we do _nothing_ here */
/* arch number of cerf PXA Board */ gd->bd->bi_arch_number = MACH_TYPE_XHYPER255; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It stops here!!!! /* adress of boot parameters */ gd->bd->bi_boot_params = 0xa0000100;
return(0); }
when executing "gd->bd->bi_arch_number=MACH_TYPE_XHYPER255;" or other similiar sentences("gd->bd->**=**"), the progress was terminated. But when executing other sentences such as "gd->env_addr = (ulong)&default_environment[0];gd->env_valid = 0;"(these sentences are in function env_init(),common/env_flash.c),the progress can do them well.
Does anyone meet this problem,or give some useful debug methods without any hardware emulator? Appreciate for any help.
THANKS

Hi Scut Paradise,
If you think you're going to get more help the more times you resend you message, you are probably wrong.

The fact that the "DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR" is defined inside board_init indicates that you are not using top of the tree U-Boot. Please switch to current sourcen first of all. The DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR statement needs to be defined globally due to gcc misbehaviour.
