Hi Mike,

I'm very new to Powerpc so take my words with a lot of precautions.

I see two possibilities with your problem:

1. As U-Boot seems to reset after "Stack Pointer at: 0ffa9f28", you are likely to encounter a relocation issue. As I have learnt it the hard way (I cannot count the number of times my U-Boot hanged there), you may have misconfigured the SDRAM module. Check other code using the same chips, memory refresh timers and memory controller registers (SDRAM init sequence is configured in the initdram() function of your board specific .c file).

2. If your board always reboots at the same moment, whatever the U-Boot configuration is, you may have forgot to handle or deactivate your cpu watchdog. On my mpc8270 board, I can disable them with the CFG_SYPCR register; on yours, it seems to be with BCSR5[SWEN], but I'm really not sure (and it seems to be off by default). Also check the CONFIG_WATCHDOG option in U-Boot. Note that if you have slave cores on your board, you may also need to handle them.

At last, perhaps try with a current version of U-Boot, you may get more help with it.

I hope that this could help you. If not, just ignore, I just try to give back the help I got there.

Good luck, Rémi

Hello,

I am having problem when I try to bootup MPC8360EMDS with Uboot1.2. The following are logs. The board reboot when the uboot tried to run on the RAM. Any idea on this issue?

Thanks,

Mike
