U-boot1.1.4 porting problem on PPC 440GX

U-boot1.1.4 porting problem on PPC 440GX

Hi All,
  I build uboot1.1.4 for ocotea_config  and run on an ocotea without SPD on DIMMS (SDRAM) and  It works. We manufactured another board derived from Ocotea Ref design, 440GX processor and on baord SDRAM (DIMMS) 256MB discrete parts. I use the same Uboot1.1.4 for this board. It boots upto calling the 
   
  relocate_code in cpu/ppc4xx/start.S and hangs. The same code works well on Ocotea. I run the memory tests and it passed all.
   
  Any idea why this could hang and never finish the relocate_code function. Trying relocating Uboot to SDRAM memory to get the C environment and run from memory.
   
  Any help would be appreciated. Any idea if i need any special code because of the discrete parts of SDRAM on our board.
   
  Thanks,
  Pravin

You can use Ocotea code (kernel and/or U-Boot) as-is for your board 
only in one case - your board is _identical_ to Ocotea.

I doubt that this is the case, so you have to modify U-Boot and/or 
kernel board support code to accommodate any differences between Ocotea 
and your design.

Start with asking your hardware people about such differences.

...and then post to a mailing list  (like  u-boot-users)  where  your
questions fit. Here they are off topic.
