Thanks for you suggestion. Not only single write, I can now write to
anywhere except the first 1MB of SDRAM. I think it is occupied by u-boot?
So, I think memory is ok now.
Do you have any idea it hangs at __sti()?
mfmsr r3 /* Get current state */
ori r3,r3,MSR_EE /* Turn on 'EE' bit */
SYNC /* Some chip revs have problems here... */
mtmsr r3 <------Hangs after executing it /* Update
machine state */
blr
Is there any relationship with the previous instruction "SYNC"? What
revision will have problem there?
Thanks.

Thanks for remind me. I will be careful next time.
Best regards,
