Hi!
 
I'm trying to soft reset an ARM926EJ.
 
I'm using
    cpu_arm926_reset(ulong address) function which:
           - flushes I/D caches
            - jumps to "address", whose value in my case is NOR flash 
base addres where U-Boot stays (after remapping).
 
    But it sometimes work, but most times hangs. Can this be caused by 
MMU not being switched off?

Probably yes but not exactly.  After reset by hardware signal generated 
by Watchdog or something else, all SoC modules are in default
certain state besides ARM core, but in your case, it's not sure.

 
Any other hints?
 
If you think it might be caused by MMU, how can MMU be disabled?

use "MCR p15, 0, Rd, c1, c0, 0" to write CP15 register 1 for MMU 
enable/disable.

 
Is there any other prefered method to soft reboot ARM926 from Linux? 
I've taken a look at some PXA, OMAP & AT91 code about soft rebooting. 
It seems they use Watchdog timer to reset, but my CPU does not have a 
watchdog.

You can try cpu_reset(addr), refer to cpu_arm926_reset() in 
arch/arm/mm/proc-arm926.S.

Thanks in advance,
