i download image over tftp at 0x1000000

gave bootvx 1000000

=> bootvx 1000000

## Ethernet MAC address not copied to NV RAM

## Using bootline (@ 0x4200): root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200

## Starting vxWorks at 0x00100000 ...

but the log hangs after this.

I'm having exactly the same problem on the T2080RDB.

Trying to get VxWorks 6.9.4 booted through U-Boot.

Same results as OP.

Can anyone help?

Have figured it out?

On my issue, yes.

NXP changed SoDIMM vendors for rev C of the T2080RDB.

This requires some slight changes to the SPD parameters, which are hardcoded into the BSP.

The BSP works on some boards without changes, but requires the change on others, so the timing problem is right on the edge, I'm thinking.

I'm able to boot straight into VxWorks, bypassing U-boot entirely.
