I am running mcfw on our custom DM8148 board, it has 512MB ddr3.

The ipnc_rdk_mcfw.out runs fine on Appro reference design, but when I try to run it on our custom board, it always hang right here:

The kernel freezes at here. I can not get more debug info from it.

We are using a different YUV sensor, I created a new driver for it. but it appears we haven't got that far yet when it freezes.

    I tracked it down to this line:

    status = Ipc_control (procId,  Ipc_CONTROLCMD_STARTCALLBACK, NULL);

    It freeze here when loading DSP firmware.

    I was using syslink2.10.2.17 that comes with RDK1.8, I just downloaded syslink 2.10.8.35, it now timeouts at ipc_control(STARTCALLBACK), and is giving more error messges now:

    changed .args size to 0x200, this elimitated the args error, but it still times out: IPC_attach_timeout.

    I guess I have to connect the JTAG next.
