Well, then. Have you checked for any errata for the sam460ex?
There's a known errata for the 460EX, with the CPU lockup upon
high AHB traffic:
<http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-June/036078.html>
"This patch implements a fix provided by AMCC so that the lockup upon
simultanious traffic on AHB USB OTG, USB 2.0 and SATA doesn't occur
anymore:..."
This should be fixed by u-boot. However, there's no telling if
there's more to this workaround in the dma engine. You could try
to do the testing without anything connected to the USB ports
and disable/remove all usb hcds modules. As for fixing this:
I did a quick search but couldn't find any public information.
There's always support@....com (contact them!), or maybe someone
from the Amiga community knows more?
