I'm not sure, since ddr can be keyrole IP during relocation and falcon mode(which I'm trying) but we can make sure the ddr test in uboot atleast? thanks!

Some issues will only appear under heavy load, which is difficult to emulate by u-boot. To expose the issue by memtester I used two background tasks: one is infinite tinymembench, the other is building a Linux kernel with -j4. > > thanks!

That should be worth testing then, because if we're using the same RAM settings and we have stability issues, then we have a bug somewhere, and putting a blanket on top of it isn't a solution. Maxime

When testing with BSP images made by Orange Pi, I found that in newer images they secretly tweaked the DDR freq of Orange Pi PC2 and Prime to 624MHz. This is found by checking pll-dram frequency after booting. > > Maxime >

Ok then. Can you resend that patch? Thanks! Maxime

When I use Orange Pi Prime to do some heavy compliation tasks, the gcc compiler sometimes mysteriously segfaults, and memtester catches memory error. As the lima-memtester cannot support H5 (Mali-450 GPU equipped), there's no really reliable way to detect DRAM stability except try and error. Lower the DDR frequency to 624MHz seems to solved the issue. Set the default frequency to 624MHz in the defconfig, as 672MHz is observed to be unstable at least on my board.
