If a processor reaches ROM but not application code, or a memory interface works only sometimes, start with the boring truth first.

  • Boot strap resistor values and measured logic levels
  • Power-up timing and reset release
  • Clock quality at the device pins
  • Memory timing margins and trace assumptions
  • Whether failures correlate with temperature, board revision, or supply ramp
