Hi Dave, The problem is solved. But i have one doubt.
So the PC is 0, and the LR is C92F. That tells me that the code at C92F in your init process is trying to call a function through a NULL pointer. You can try disassembling your init process. Something like
arm-eabi-objdump --disassemble init
In this case we came to know the process name 'init'. But in some cases we might just have the link register address, and no process name. say some user-space process has caused the panic. Can u tell me ..how to debug in that case? Thank you so much.. Sandeep On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 8:43 PM, Dave Hylands [off-list ref] wrote:

That tells me that the code at C92F in your init process is trying to call a function through a NULL pointer. You can try disassembling your init process. Something like arm-eabi-objdump --disassemble init You'll need to figure out which toolchain was used to compile the init process. I'm jjust taking a guess that it was arm-eabi-gcc. You may need to recompile with debug symbols or dig up the unstripped executable from your build. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
