Forum Post: U-boot Porting Issue

Hi,

I'm currently porting the ti-sdk 7.00 u-boot to our custom board based on the AM335x Starter kit board. I have the SPL working fine with tuned values for the DDR3 memory and can access the RAM with no problems using the XDS100v2 emulator. I'm running into issues in u-boot board_init_r with the following line which causes the device to crash

mem_malloc_init (malloc_start, TOTAL_MALLOC_LEN);

The locations used in the function are the same as used by the starter kit and I can access the locations fine manually using the emulator. Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Thanks
