what should I do to solve this problem?

thanks.

ps. If I change mem=512M to mem=128M then it show more progress.

Use an external debugger to determine the PC, LR, etc. where the CPU is stuck. Also double check that DDR has been configured correctly including timings.

thank you.

it was DDR setting problem.

I didn`t set correctly ddr configuration in u-boot.

now it works well.
