iMX233 DCDC powerUp problem

s_i_suprun — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:29:39 GMT

Good day dear coforumer! I have a my own board based on iMX233 processor. I want to power up onboard DCDC, as more effective than linregulators. Bootlets source code has been corrected in the way which errata recommends. So, my board is bootable now, but it's work unstable,a lot of times it stops on the linux boot stage. And another one it doesn't work on frequencies higher than 320 Mhz (((. My current bootlets version is 10.12.01. Any suggestion. Thanks a lot, earlier))

This is not a problem with the DC/DC or the PSU in general. It more like a problem with you partitions on the MMC

Attached is a file that describes how to properly set partitions on SD/MMC

Also, check/edit you init memory size in LTIB option
