Dear all,
We are attempting to bring up a new MPC5121e board, somewhat based on the Silicon Turnkey's ADS5121 development board. We are using a kernel and u-boot based on Freescale/STx's board support package.
We have successfully modified u-boot for the 64MB of DDR2 RAM, and we can use u-boot's (and the BDI's) memory test facility to check that the RAM is working.
Our problem is that as soon as control is passed from u-boot to Linux, the board immediately resets. It appears that the kernel has been decompressed correctly, and the memory at 0x00000000 appears to be similar to the same memory on the ADS board at the same address. i.e. We have some confidence that the kernel is being decompressed correctly.
With debug on, u-boot produces the following output on the console:

At this point, the board immediately resets. There is no hint of life from the kernel from the console, although setting a breakpoint on the BDI at 0x0000000 and tracing through appears as though some code (although we don't know what) is being executed.
Our u-boot environment is as follows:

If anyone is able to provide some help as to where we should start looking for our problem (or how we can stop it from immediately rebooting, or trap the reboot on the BDI), we would be extremely grateful for the help.
Best regards
Damien.
