Update:

Going through the standard debug procedure of "check power, then check clocks", I found that the 100MHz clock source DIP switch had been changed to the external SMA connector, i.e., there was no 100MHz clock. Switching the DIP switch back to select the on-board 100MHz oscillator "fixed" the crash, allowing the EMIF link to be established.

I'd argue this would be a typical user error, so SystemConsole should not crash!

I'm now running various EMIF reports. Once I understand what I'm looking at, I'll add some notes to the Wiki page.

Cheers,

Dave
