[U-Boot-Users] RE: Trouble booting uboot on 440GX (ocotea) eval board afterinitial power-up boot

[Howard, Marc]

What works is using a supported flash device.  I had swapped out the AMD
parts for SST 39VF040.  They program like AMDs but the sector sizes are
different.  Putting in the AMDs and re-flashing U-Boot solved the
problem.

Thanks to all,

Marc W. Howard

Does resetting the SDRAM controller help?
