Hi 

i have binary file that tests ddr memory running from internal ram. This binary is loaded by u-boot into internal ram.

once memory test is complete, it jumps to boot rom. like below. 

void main()

{

void (*bootRom)(void) = 0x000;

while(1)

 {

   ram_test();

    (*bootRom)();

 }

}

 

after jumping to boot rom, u-boot never starts, this is happening on one of our board remaining work fine, not all doing this.

is this chip issue.

all i see in trace is below, when i try to find out with debugger.

Hello,

 

   Boot ROM code is intended to run after reset.

   It is highly recommended to follow i.MX validation design and NXP sponsored third-party

designs, that  have been designed to remove power (voltage source) to all components on

the board in the event of a processor reset. This avoids having to determine if a component

critical to rebooting the processor is in the necessary state to support a reboot.

Have a great day,

Yuri

why is this happening with only one or two board, remaining boards are working fine.

what components boot rom is dependent on.

Hello,

  Perhaps it makes sense to use JTAG debugging to find the source of the problem for

the non-working board, but this will not guarantee issues absence for other (third)

boards.

Yuri.

Hello,

   Looks like the system hangs in boot ROM; as was mentioned, the boot ROM

is intended to work after reset. It is not intended to be called (or jumped) from 

a user code.

Regards,

Yuri.
