[U-Boot-Users] SDRAM init problem? Was Re: uboot 1.1.2 problem

[Clemens Koller <clemens.koller@anagramm.de>]

Hi, Sam!

As Wolfgang said, check the voltages, caps, terminations...

You might also try to actively lower/rise the voltages of
your board/ram/... a bit. If your problem changes, I would
bet it's a hardware problem.

Greets,
