[U-Boot-Users] u-boot hangs after relocating itself to ram

[Andre Puschmann]

Hello everybody,
yesterday I solved my problem. It was a faulty sdram initialization.
But still don't know why the values I used before didn't work.
But its  kind of robustness that the systems works with the values
assumed not to work.
Anyway, thank you for your help.


Best regards,


Andre
