Thanks for your tip! On my pandaborad, system will boot after Re-inserting the SD Card. It seems that SD Card insert event will trigger the booting procedure.

Hi Guys,
I have struggled today for some time to soft-reset panda board because the switch S1 (PWRON_RESET) resets the board, but doesn't start booting it again from xloader. Prompt simply hangs !!
My kernel was crashing after uncompressing linux... print. I didn't had a debugger to see value of __log_buf variable. So i wanted to soft reset the board and check content of memory at address pointed by __log_buf.
I wanted to keep the contents of RAM as it is, so can't reboot it by unplugging the power cable.
At last i found the trick to soft-reset the board with help of S1 button. Following are the steps:
- Press S1 once, LED D1 will switch off
- remove SD card
- reinsert the card
- Press S1 again, LED D1 will switch on and board is rebooted, keeping
RAM's contents as is.
Hope, this will help somebody in future.
