Hi,all

I burned official example file  u-boot-imx6ull14x14evk_emmc.imx and fsl-image-validation-imx-imx6ul7d.sdcard in my custom board by UUU tool.The command I used: 

./uuu.exe emmc_all u-boot-imx6ull14x14evk_emmc.imx fsl-image-validation-imx-imx6ul7d.sdcard

I powered on board,and the boot process stuck in Starting kernel ,here is uboot message:

U-Boot 2018.03-imx_v2018.03_4.14.98_2.0.0_ga+g87a19df (Apr 11 2019 - 13:47:37 +0000)

Starting kernel ...   **stuck here**

After that,I found it might caused by printk disabled(LINUX KERNEL driver hangs/freeze after handling mapped register - Stack Overflow ).So I modified imx6ul.dtsi and replace pwm1 status from "disabled"  to "okay".

I build core-image-minimal-imx6ulevk.rootfs.sdcard with bitbake,and burned my board again by UUU tool.

But the boot process still hang in Starting kernel.

If I missed something,comment below,please.

Hi west

"official example file" will not work on custom board as they are built for

nxp reference boards. For custom board images should be rebuilt.

In general for new board recommended first to run ddr test

i.MX6/7 DDR Stress Test Tool V3.00 

then update ddr calibration coefficients in uboot/board/freescale/mx6ul_14x14_evk/imximage.cfg

imximage.cfg\mx6ul_14x14_evk\freescale\board - uboot-imx - i.MX U-Boot 

Best regards

Hi igor,

Thanks for your reply.

I solved the problem after ddr calibration.

Though I encounter 「Bad Linux ARM zImage magic!」 problem in uboot,but I can deal with it temporarily by boot kernel manual.

Now I can enter Linux kernel.

Thanks.
