Hi austin944

I was not completely clear in my previous post. Now, I definitely can boot and execute the application.

As I said, I excluded the main code (where I initialize timers IRQs, MMU and all bells and whistles) and replaced witha simple loop where I test buttons and blink LEDs according to them.

This limited application boots from SD card and works perfectly.

Now I'm planning to add the excluded part one at a time, until I find out which one blocks my system.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll try the dcache command and I'll let you know. Thank you
