Hello,

I've done some additional testing and wanted to share the current state:

  • The firmware is only written during U-Boot.

  • Occasionally, after powering on, I cannot access the bridge.

  • I'm using the devmem2 program with the following command:
    ./devmem2 0xff200000 w

  • Sometimes it works, but other times Linux crashes.

  • The last output I get is:

./devmem2 0xff200000 w
/dev/mem opened.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
