I had problems with ecc_init() on a custom 460EX board with soldered DDR2. Right after ecc_init() u-boot was crashing on PLB access. I've modified the code to use program_ecc_addr() instead of ecc_init(), and problem was solved. I was wandering why use two different ECC initialization routines for SPD and soldered cases, when program_ecc_addr() can do the job in both cases, while ecc_init() apparently has issues ? Thanks.
