Re: [U-Boot-Users] hang up after start_here

In message [ref] you wrote:

I've debugged and found that the board hangs in start_here function and
doesn't reach the early_init function.

Because the problem appears on only one of my boards out of 16, I suspect
a hardware problem, and because it occurs just after mmu initialisation
and caches enabling, I suspect more especially sdram accesses.

I want to know if anybody has encountered a similar problem and if the
diagnostic was the same.

This is a standard problem, which can show up in many forms.  My  bet
is  that  your  SDRAM initialization sequence is incomplete / broken.
Remember that it is NOT sufficient to set up the  mmeory  controller,
you must also intialize the SDRAM chips themself.

Best regards,
