Hi U-boot seems to set the speed to 165 Mhz "OMAP36XX/37XX-GP ES1.2, CPU-OPP2, L3-165MHz, Max CPU Clock 1 Ghz" I have a LAN9221, but tried the other timings, still same result. Also tried running the entire system from an MMC card, same result, but my test had to run a little longer. Found a quicker test to reproduce the error, a little C-program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <errno.h> int main(void){ long long var=0; int *ptr=NULL; int run=1; while(run){ ptr=malloc(sizeof(int)*1000); if(ptr==NULL){ run=0; } var+=1000; printf("mallocsize = %lld\n",var*sizeof(int)); } } Booting from NFS, the system crashes at ~40mb allocated On MMC at ~60MB Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Casper Mogensen ________________________________________ From: Tony Lindgren <tony@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 11:14 To: Casper Lyngesen Mogensen Cc: linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: OMAP 3630 random crashes Hi, * Casper Lyngesen Mogensen <clmogensen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [140620 01:52]: > Hi > > I have custom board with a Gumstix Overo, my board is similar to a > Tobi board.

Turns out LAN9220 has much slower timings compared to LAN9221. So you need to check that you're using right timings if you have LAN9220. Also, check what rate your bootloader is setting the L3 speed. If it's set to 200MHz, then LAN9220 timings seem to overflow the GPMC registers for the calculated values and bootloader timings are used instead. > Starting kernel ... > > [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 > [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.15.0 (clmo@N66266) (gcc version 4.8.1 (crosstool-NG 1.19.0) ) #3 SMP Wed Jun 11 23:50:13 CEST 2014 > [ 0.000000] CPU: ARMv7 Processor [413fc082] revision 2 (ARMv7), cr=10c5387d > [ 0.000000] CPU: PIPT / VIPT nonaliasing data cache, VIPT aliasing instruction cache > [ 0.000000] Machine model: OMAP36xx/AM37xx/DM37xx Gumstix Overo on Tobi > [ 0.000000] cma: CMA: reserved 16 MiB at 8d800000 > [ 0.000000] Memory policy: Data cache writeback > [ 0.000000] CPU: All CPU(s) started in SVC mode. > [ 0.000000] OMAP3630 ES1.2 (l2cache neon isp 192mhz_clk ) > [ 0.000000] PERCPU: Embedded 9 pages/cpu @cecc6000 s14080 r8192 d14592 u36864 > [ 0.000000] Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on.
