Are you seeing this error when booting?  Which board?

If so, are you using Prebuilt binaries or have you followed the kernal defconfig procedure below?:

We've been able to build and boot AM335X-LINUX-PSP-04.06.00.08 on both AM335x EVM and beta version of the Starter Kit that is coming out soon (with the same uImage which was pretty cool!): http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335xStarterKitHardwareUsersGuide 

Yes, the error occurs during the boot phase. but the kernel is finished booting seems without problems.

I use buildroot (buildroot-2012.08-rc1) and the kernel linux v3.2-PSP 04.06.00.08 (http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=linux-am33x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/AM335XPSP_04.06.00.08).

I run the linux kernel on the simulator (AM335x simulation model).

In addition to the offset (0x04) of the register PRM_PER invalid, the error most strange is the address of the SRAM!!! 

I'm using the PSP from the TI EZSDK site (http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-sitara) on HW.  Attached is my boot log.

I don't see any references to 0x4xxxxxxx adresses except for valid peripheral addresses (i.e, UART, Ethernet MAC, etc.)

Hi Alessandro,

Can you please share your boot log where the errors you have mentioned can be seen?

Attached is my boot log. The error is not visible from the log of the boot. I observe the error by monitoring the memory accesses  in simulation. The invalid access occurs in the first phase of the boot, during the first initialization of the power module. 

Before using buildroot, I tried the prebuild (uImage) the following release (ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.04.01.00-Linux-x86-Install). I noticed four memory offset invalid (note that the kernel still complete the boot). If you want I can give you more information about these errors.

Furthermore, regarding SRAM, after a static analysis of the kernel source files I have not found the correct address of the SRAM.

Could you please share more info on your simulation model and screenshots or logs of the error you are seeing.

Also, any specific reason why you are using simulation model?

I did a quick search of the source and found that  the address 0x402F_0400 is used only in u-boot

and kernel uses the SRAM region from 0x4030_0000. I could not find any  reference to 0x402f0400.

Also, please share the invalid memory offset errors you encountered while using the prebuilt uImage.

Correction from my previous post:

I meant "I could not find any  reference to 0x4020f000 "

Thanks.
