Problem about dm8168 PCIE ep driver

Hi all:
I want to use pcie to do communicate between two dm8168 board of our own, one as pcie rc ,another as ep.
we have a pcie bridge between this two board, and followed TI81XX_PSP_PCI_Express_Endpoint_Driver_User_Guide
i built ti81xx_pcie_epdrv.ko ti81xx_edma.ko ti81xx_pcie_rcdrv.ko.
When i power on these two boards, there is no ep device was found,
and when  i insmod ti81xx_pcie_epdrv.ko module broken,
and log print as follow:

root@dm816x:/opt/dvr_rdk/ti816x/kermod# insmod ti81xx_pcie_epdrv.ko

Segmentation fault

i have set pci_mem=8M in boot params,
to fix this problem i do insmod ti81xx_pcie_epdrv.ko on ti8168 evm board without any other pcie device connected,
same problem also happens then, what is the problem then ?

I think ep should  start before rc board, but before i insmod ti81xx_pcie_epdrv.ko, can ep be found at rc board?
or it have to be after insmod ti81xx_pcie_epdrv.ko?

best regards
xavier
