linux kernel starting stops after 4 seconds

Hi,

I'm using a customized i.mx8qxp board, so very likely there are some device tree mistakes in the hardware bring-up phase.

My current problem is that the board stops in the middle of kernel starting, like this:

I deleted some log in the middle, but the ending log (timestamp of 4.037112) is same as the original log.

So I'm very curious, why the kernel seemed to be stopped?

If there is something wrong in the board's hardware, which module (device tree node) should I disable for a test? Can I tell from the log sequence?

Hi Fei

had board passed ddr test and necessary changes were performed in image

https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors-Knowledge-Base/i-MX-8-8X-Family-DDR-Tools-Release/ta-p/1121519

For kernel stop one can try to remove "adv7511" and check if it helps, also one can try to debug it

using AN12631 Normal and Secure Debug for i.MX8/8X Family of Applications Processors

Best regards
igor

I searched for 56248000 and I was lucky: there is only 1 file containing it, which is lvds related.

I disabled the whole lvds_subsystem and I am able to move on (there are still other error, though)

&lvds_subsys { status = "disabled"; };
