DM642 bootloading

Started by kalai vani May 20, 2009
Hi,We are using a DM641-based board for our application. We are using EMIF-A ROM bootloading for booting from Flash memory. On boot-up, we are copying code from the NOR Flash in CE1 space to SDRAM (100 Mhz) in CE0 and CE3 space of the DSP.
We are facing an issue during boot-up. We found that this bootloading happens correctly most of the times and the firmware is copied from Flash to SDRAM and the after booting, the code from SDRAM runs correctly. However, there are some cases where the firmware is copied from Flash to SDRAM but when the code is executed from SDRAM, the firmware crashes. We also found that when this happens, the DSP does not even respond to a Hardware reset and we need to power off the board to get it working again. Could you please provide your inputs as to what might cause this problem?
Thanks,Kalaivani.S
