[U-Boot-Users] U-boot Bus Fault Error while accessing NOR flash

[Nikhil Gautam]

Hi Stefan,

Below is the most of my init.S file. You are correct about the
faulting location. But I can see in the init.S file that this address
location is defined as "AC_R|AC_W|AC_X|SA_G" so I think I should be
able to at least read it. When I boot from 256Mb NAND flash, I don't
see this problem. Its only when I boot from 1Gb NAND flash.

Thanks,

Nikhil
