DM6467T encodedecode Demo Crashes After Few Minutes

I updated to DVSDK 3.10.00.19 and ran the encodedecode demo program. The board ran for about more than 3 minutes and reset.

The kernel was uncompressed but it could not run.

What's the problem? Please help! Thank you.

Can you please let us know what hardware you are running this on?

I ran this on the DM6467T evaluation board Rev C.

Did you follow all of the steps indicated here?

Yes, I did. I followed the instructions to rebuild the Linux kernel and the dvsdk demo programs as well as to setup TFTP and NFS. I did all the steps in the guide for software setup up including writing the hello program and run it on the target. The original code preloaded with the board had the same problem (and color problem too). I thought the problem would go away after I rebuit and ran the updated code.

Some more information: I heard a clicking noise before the board reset. Perhaps the watch dog kicked in?

Are you saying that the board has exhibited this type of behavior since it first arrived, i.e. before you made any modifications of any kind?

Yes.

We have not made any hardware modifications to the board so far.

We observed the same behavior with the software loaded with the board and with the updated DVSDK version ... 19.

th,

Let me clarify. I mean did the board exhibit this behavior as soon as you took it out of the box that it came in or did it only happen after you made some software change in terms of updating something or re-flashing the NAND, etc...?

Yes. It exhibited this behavior out of the box.

I thought that it was a software problem, so I updated the software, but the problem did not go away.

We've just ordered a new board. It arrived this morning. I ran the encodedecode demo out of the box; it automatically reset after a few minutes. Is there an overheating problem documented somewhere?
