You should probably check the following macros to make sure you have them set correctly: CFG_MALLOC_BASE CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET CFG_INIT_SP Check the board info structure after reset (with the bdi command), try ping, then check the board info structure again to see if the data is actually being corrupted.
