Found it! The i.MX6QuadPlus has two pairs of PREs, which use the extended section of the iRAM. The Classic does not have any PREs or extended iRAM: pre1: pre@21c8000 { compatible = "fsl,imx6qp-pre"; <snip> fsl,iram = <&ocram2>; }; pre3: pre@21ca000 { compatible = "fsl,imx6qp-pre"; <snip> fsl,iram = <&ocram3>; }; The CODA (VPU) driver uses the common section of iRAM: vpu: vpu@2040000 { compatible = "cnm,coda960"; <snip> iram = <&ocram>; }; The VPU or the PREs are overrunning their assigned iRAM area. How do I know? Because if I change the PRE iRAM order, the problem disappears! PRE1: ocram2 change to ocram3 PRE2: ocram2 change to ocram3 PRE3: ocram3 change to ocram2 PRE4: ocram3 change to ocram2 Sven
