dd fails : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

dr_lee — Tue, 14 May 2013 09:47:51 GMT

Hello,

I porting BSP to custom board with iMX6Solo, and it is booting fine. Simpel programs are running fine.

However, when I copy large files I get kernel panic.

Example :

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/1.raw bs=1M count=300 --> gives me panic

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/1.raw bs=1M count=30 --> no problem

Can you please guide me?

Here is Kernel oops log :
