mx25 doesn't boot linux after reset

darlink — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 12:12:43 GMT

i have mx253 based design. thousand of devices are on the field.

i have been searching root cause of device crash on the field. in one type of problem cases, device boot linux without a problem after POR reset but after watchdog reset or after RESET_B, u-boot runs without a problem but linux doesn't boot and stop after those lines below;

This happens not after every watchdog reboot. it happens sometimes.

"......

,,,,,,

Starting kernel ...

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."

this case happens just in some devices and i couldnt find why.

first i thought that it may caused from wrong command line argument from u-boot about console but i got this log below from __log_buf and it says that something else is wrong.

here is the log i catch from __log_buf, red lines doesn't appear in a normal boot sequence. this might be a clue, but i dont know where to look at.

Please give me an idea about this matter.
