hmm,in such a case you should try to narrow down the piece of code which hangs. for such cases where you cannot rely on prinbf i used a simple method painting my screen in certain color, like this:
void paint(unsigned int color)
{
static volatile unsigned int *base = (volatile unsigned int *)
0x98020000;
static unsigned int size = 0x2000;
static volatile unsigned int *ptr;
ptr = base;
while (ptr <= base + size) {
*ptr = color;
__asm __volatile ("sync");
__asm __volatile ("dcbst 0,%0" :: "r"((unsigned int) ptr));
__asm __volatile ("sync");
ptr++;
}
}
Declare this function and then use it somewhere where you think it hangs
and see if you reach that place. That piece of code helped me debugging
MMU problems and in other places where prinntf is not working yet.
