[U-Boot] U-Boot timer example crashes on EP88xC

[Mikhail Zaturenskiy]

Hello,

I am using ELDK 4.2 and U-Boot 2009.03 on an EP88xC rev1.1 board
(MPC885 cpu) and am trying to get the example apps working (the ones
that come with U-Boot) following instructions on
"http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootStandalone#Section_5.12.2.".

"examples/hello_world.bin" worked fine:

=> tftp 40000 ep88x_helloworld
Trying FEC ETHERNET
Using FEC ETHERNET device
TFTP from server 10.0.54.129; our IP address is 10.0.54.150
Filename 'ep88x_helloworld'.
Load address: 0x40000
Loading: ##################
done
Bytes transferred = 262980 (40344 hex)
=> go 40004
## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
Example expects ABI version 4
Actual U-Boot ABI version 4
Hello World
argc = 1
argv[0] = "40004"
argv[1] = "<NULL>"
Hit any key to exit ...

## Application terminated, rc = 0x0

But things didn't go too smoothly with the "examples/timer.bin" app:

Does anybody have any suggestions for what may be wrong here?

Thanks!
