I encounted the same problem twice and found two reasons.
First, I encounted on MC8641D platform and found that the Vref not supplied,which makes the DDR controller collapsing.
Second, on the MPC8548 platform, I found the DDR refresh recovery time configuration of the DDR_time_cfg_reg not satisfying the DDR2-chip's requirments, which makes the DDR initialization process fail. Maybe other DDR time configurations not satisfying can also make DDR controller collapsing.
