MPC8548 not executing code from DDR

ravindrakulkarn — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:39:05 GMT

I am using u-boot (2010.09) and the processor does not execute the code from the DDR.

Please help.

I am using CW USB TAP for debugging.

Details follow.

The code executes all the way up to th point that it copies itself into the DDR ( on DDR interface , not on LBC), and the copy is correct.

As soon as it executes the blr instruction, the PC changes to DDR address (0x00370000, I am using 4Mbytes of DDR for now), and either it hangs or after doing a single step, the PC increments but does not do anything with the registers.

The ddr is solid and I can execute code from DDR independently, (Welcome to Code Warrior sample application)

ALso please see the uboot messages (IGNORE the clocks for now, I have forcefully populated the clocks but has nothing to do with real hardware)

The internal clock is at 400 MHZ.

It seems to me like the ICACHE is not working correctly, Some incorrect configuration?

The code just above this works fine, it invalidates the D Cache

but not sure about I Cache

addi r0,r10,in_ram - _start + _START_OFFSET
mtlr r0
blr /* NEVER RETURNS! */ HANGS AFTER THIS
.globl in_ram
in_ram:

/*
* Relocation Function, r12 point to got2+0x8000
*
* Adjust got2 pointers, no need to check for 0, this code
* already puts a few entries in the table.
*/

Please provide the following data for both inintialization cases (CodeWarrior and U-Boot):

1) MMU TLB settings;

2) LAW registers settings;

3) DDR controller registers settings.

It will be better if all the data will be provided a raw memory dumps.
