kernel strucking

[sindhujakapugan]

Hi all, i have compiled the u-boot and linux for a customized imx6dl board and the serial output is attached below.

The main difference is the RAM is  2GB. 

Any idea to debug to find out why it stops starting the kernel? . Then

Hi sindhuja

if ddr test passed and modifications were made to

uboot *.cfg file, then it is necessary to modify kernel

sources, for example remove/add modules which are different

on custom board compared with reference board.

Which board did you use as reference ?

For example one can look at

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-100203

https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-103530

Hi igor,

i am using mx6sabresd board as reference.

Hi sindhuja

one can use general linux debugging steps like enabling linux earlyprintk

https://falstaff.agner.ch/2015/10/17/linux-earlyprintkearlycon-support-on-arm/

and follow application note AN4553  Debugging Tools for Linux on i.MX Processors

http://www.nxp.com/files/32bit/doc/app_note/AN4553.pdf

Best regards

Hi igor,

After enabling kernel low level debugging functions i am getting this information

Hi sindhuja

sems smth wrong with i2c, one can check

signals with oscilloscope and add debug printfs

in i2c probe function.

Best regards

Hi igor,

for i2c i am getting these values i.e.,

SCL is 3.3v

SDA is 0.3v

Thanks & Regards
