This problem seems to be memory-related somehow?
My 2GB rk3288-evb comes up fine to the uboot prompt, while
my 1GB rk3288-phycore hangs in said mem_malloc_init().


rk3288-evb (2GB):
[...]
Relocation Offset is: 7ed88000
Relocating to 7ed88000, new gd at 7cd7fed8, sp at 7cd76230
[...]
initr_malloc: before mem_malloc_init
using memory 0x7cd80000-0x7ed88000 for malloc()
initr_malloc: after mem_malloc_init
[...]


rk3288-phycore (1GB):
[...]
Relocation Offset is: 3ff7b000
Relocating to 3ff7b000, new gd at 3df72ee0, sp at 3df68f60
[...]
initr_malloc: before mem_malloc_init
using memory 0x3df73000-0x3ff7b000 for malloc()
[HANG]


Do you have some tips what I need to poke for this issue?
