DM816x EVM generates Kernel Panic when board is booted from NAND

Hi All , 

a/ I am able to load u-boot.noxip.bin [UBOOT] , uImage [KERNEL] & rd-jffs2.bin [JFFS file system] on NAND [Board is DM816x EVM]

b/ When i try to boot the EVM in NAND mode i am getting KERNEL PANIC message of

     //Only last part of kernel panic , please let me know if the entire log is required

Please find below mentioned steps used to have EVM configured to boot from NAND :-

A) Loading the u-boot.noxip.bin (default available from prebuilts binary folder)

  1. mw.b 0x81000000 0xFF 0x260000
2. tftp 0x81000000 u-boot.noxip.bin
3. nand erase 0x0 0x260000
4. nandecc hw 2
5. nand write.i 0x81000000 0x0 0x260000
6. nandecc hw 0

B) Loading the Kernel image (uImage)

      1. tftp 0x81000000 uImage (Bytes transferred = 2566084 (2727c4 hex))

     2. nand erase 0x00280000 0x00440000

      3. nand write 0x81000000 0x00280000 0x272800 [ the size entered is made multiple of 0x800 to remove alignment error ] 

 

C) Creating the JFFS file system

      I could not find any default rd-jffs2.bin file in the /home/ashish/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_05_02_00 directory. 

      Hence i tried below mentioned steps to create an JFFS file-system :-

     a/ Under /home/ashish/ti-ezsdk_dm816x-evm_5_05_02_00/filesystem directory there was two tar available :-

        arago-base-tisdk-image-dm816x-evm.tar.gz  [ rd-jffs2.bin was around 14MB ]

        ezsdk-dm816x-evm-rootfs.tar.gz                       [ rd-jffs2.bin was around approx 450MB ]

    b/  Untar the arago-base-tisdk-image-dm816x-evm.tar.gz under /home/ashish/test. 

         Then created JFFS file system by :-

          sudo mkfs.jffs2 -lqn –e 128 -r /home/ashish/test -o /tftpboot/rd-jffs2.bin

D) Loading the NANAD JFFS file system 

     a. mw.b 0x81000000 0xFF 0x0C820000

     b. tftp 0x81000000 rd-jffs2.bin [ Bytes transferred = 14715080 (e088c8 hex) ]

     c. nand erase clean 0x006C0000 0x0C820000

     d. nand write 0x81000000 0x006C0000 0xe09000 [ the size entered is made multiple of 0x800 to remove alignment error ] 

     e. console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/mtdblock3 rw rootfstype=jffs2 mem=100M earlyprintk

         setenv bootcmd 'nand read 0x81000000 0x00280000 0x272800;bootm 0x81000000'   [ 0x272800 as mentioned in B.3]

ould you please help me to figure what mistake i am doing .

Thank You,
