Hi Sinan,
First thanks for replying. I do hope you will be able to help me a bit.
The board is PPCE5500 used for Avaya IP500L platform.
What I noticed for hanging is that it hangs when setting mtspr IVPR, r0 in
start.s although this seems correct: CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE@h
Regards,
Alex

Hi,
I have an issue with upgrading our sources to use the 2020.04 uboot rather than
the one working now on our system which is 2016.
After adding all our board changes, I can see the SPL loading and setting DDR
and TLB entries but once it tries to jump to uboot from mmc_boot() it hangs and
I can't get to see anything...has anyone encountered this? Is there something I
can do to make sure uboot is actually being jumped to or why the hang? I've set
the offsets to go to the _start_e500: instructions like the old uboot. I can
share the traces I have if needed. Looking forward to an answer.
There might have been some issue with certain PowerPC platforms
introduced after the v2016.xx releases and fixed later than v2020.04,
and git log might help. Of course, it would be better still if you could
move to current mainline and then help with PowerPC maintenance, as we
do need more people helping there. Thanks.
Which board is this for ?
I don't have access to P50x0 or T10x0 boards to test and debug this
but I might try to see if I can get my hands on a T1040RDB or one of
your boards (e.g. IP500L). As Tom mentioned any help you can provide
is definitely very welcome here in this area.
