hi,

First erase the nand flash once again, and try

x-loader.bin : 0x00000000 address

u-boot.bin     : 0x00080000 address

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Santosh,

I have already tried this but still the same error persist.Any suggestions.

Thanks and regards

Hrishikesh.

Hi Hrishikesh, 

how you are flashing , by flashtool or some other way?

If by flashtool,

may be ecc selection is wrong,

x-loader.bin : 1 bit hwecc,

u-boot.bin : 1 bit swecc,

uImage      : 1 bit swecc,

and also check out the below link!!!!!!!!!

Hi, 

I've had the same problem before, (x-load hangs) while working with default u-boot image from TI SDK for AM3517. 

I had to manually compile x-load and u-boot for my eval board ( which is Craneboard ), from git repository. 

Dear Santosh & Bartek thanks for your reply !

@Santosh : I am using the flashtool provided by TI ..i tried the setting suggested by you but this time the Error did not appear but the x-loader still hangs at the previous point.

@Bartek : I am using code sourcery tool chain for compilation of x-loader and u-boot loader ..i have not downloaded the images ..i have compiled them for "tams3517_twister_config"  custom board configuration.

Any more suggestions are welcomed !!!! Is there any script file in the Flash.placed by manufacture  ?

Hrishikesh.

Should i use the "ONFI compliant NAND ?"  option.

Hi,

ONFI complaint not needed,

Otherwise do one thing try using sdram selecting instead of nand and try to display the u-boot information, if executes then no problem with u-boot.bin image,

In flashtool, you have an option to select SDRAM okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If not executes means, may be some problem in u-boot code, and also check any printf statements you have added in board.c

file in start_armboot function!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Hrishikesh,

I think you have given wrong address,

Follow like this,

First custom_am37xx_board.txt option,

second SDRAM,

Download option,

offset : 0x000300000,

Browse the u-boot.bin location,
