Hi, 

I am a newbie to u-boot as well as embedded system development, I have problem to port u-boot to my board.

I have a customized board with Motorola MC9328MXL processor,  which is the same as mx1ads board. The hardware configurations as below:

CPU: Motorola Dragon Ball MXL microcontroller (ARM920T CPU Core)
CPU Core speed 192MHZ and System Speed 96MHz

RAM: 8M bytes
Ram address: 0x08000000 ---- 0x08800000

Flash: 2M Bytes
For bootup, 0x00000000 -- 0x00200000
For normal working, 0x10000000 -- 0x10200000

I/O:
1 Serial at UART 1
1 USB slave
No Ethernet

According to the above configs, I did the following modification to mx1ads.h

#define CFG_MEMTEST_START 0x08100000 /* memtest works on */
#define CFG_MEMTEST_END  0x08800000 /* 7 MB in DRAM */

#define CFG_LOAD_ADDR  0x08400000 /* default load address */

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Physical Memory Map
 */

#define CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS 1  /* we have 1 bank of SDRAM */
#define PHYS_SDRAM_1  0x08000000 /* SDRAM  on CSD0  */
#define PHYS_SDRAM_1_SIZE 0x00800000 /* 8 MB   */

#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS 1  /* 1 bank of SyncFlash  */
#define CFG_FLASH_BASE  0x00000000 /* SyncFlash on CSD1  */
#define FLASH_BANK_SIZE  0x00200000 /* 2 MB Total   */

/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 * FLASH and environment organization
 */

#define CONFIG_SYNCFLASH 1
#define PHYS_FLASH_SIZE  0x00200000
#define CFG_MAX_FLASH_SECT (8)
#define CFG_ENV_ADDR  (CFG_FLASH_BASE+0x00080000)

#define CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 1
#define CFG_ENV_SIZE  0x04000 /* Total Size of Environment Sector */
#define CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE 0x040000

After compilation, I download the u-boot.bin to 0x08000000 with Trace32
Then set PC to 0x08000000 and run

But how can I know it running ok? The serial port doesn't have any data ( I monitored with oscilloscope)
And from the Trace32 Debugger, the CPU will keep looping at some point.
