Hi,

Thanks for valuable inputs.. memset_io() issue got resolved after I invalidated 
the L1
data and Instruction cache before calling early_init(was mentioned in some 
mailing list
). The code execution resumed and somewhere during MMU_init it again got 
struck.This
time its due to a DataTLBError. I am now trying to trace the function causing 
TLB miss
using ICE Trace32. Any pointers for reason behind generation of DataTLBError 
during MMU_init

Thanks  

Deepak Gaur
