Unfortunately I was unable to get the latest (or any other upstream)
u-boot running on my board and even on Jetson TK1 kit. Although it
seems that the u-boot has support for Jetson TK1 in mainline but don't
know why its not working. The mtest command in the Nvidia's downstream
version of u-boot did not report any errors.

Tried running Shmoo test again but it generated the BCT file with same
parameters again. So it didn't seem to work.

I also stopped u-boot at command line and checked using oscilloscope
if there's some activity at data lines between DDR and TK1 processor.
There was no activity on data lines which made me believe that when
u-boot is in idle state, there's no peripheral (or DMA) writing to
memory which might be corrupting the memory used by kernel as suggest
by Thierry Reding.

Can anyone give some other suggestion as it seems I'm running out of
options to test :(
