We have a MCF54450 running at a CPU CLK of 240Mhz. we are using U-Boot  1.2=
.0 our design is using 1 16 bit Flash a PC28F256P33B85 BGA64. We are execut=
ing code in Flash and have written a DDR-ram test walking ones and walking =
zeros and address and address this will run for days at a time billions and=
 billions of writes and reads.

When we move this to DDR-ram which is a MICRON MT47H64M8CF-3:F which we use=
 two of on SD-16 through SD-31with SD_A0-SD_A13 and

SD_CS

SD_DM2

SD_DQS2

SD_DM3

SD_DMQS3



We cannot run code we are using the same settings as the Reference design t=
he same chips. I have layed out the board with mentor and have put restrain=
ts in all of the lines to keep them within .4 inches in length.



The symptoms are it either gets an exception out in space or locks up befor=
e it gets to NET: functions

Anyone have any thoughts about the issue.

Gregg
