Custom board for i.MX233 failed to boot

[Sharagim]

Hi,
I tried to design a board but failed to boot. I trace the problem with u-boot debug and you can see the log below, in my trace I see

writel(vddactrl, &power_regs->hw_power_vddactrl); is where that this problem happening.

You need some basic knowledge about electronic circuits and PCB layout before start something so complex.
What I spot on first sight is that you put thin tracks on your power supply lines, this may make PCB layout easier but is totally wrong.
Add copper ground planes, wire all power supplies with minimum 40 mils and generally find on the internet books about PCB design.
USB and Ethernet pairs should be routed as differential pairs with 90 ohm impedance, try to equalize RAM memory lines length as much as possible.

Google search bring these documents:

Good luck

Thanks for reply.
I tried to fix PDN but nothing happens and it stopped on the same line. For the RAM matching length as you can see I placed the RAM on bottom layer and tried to keep traces very short and but sure I will keep your words and try to fix it also.
In this case I think it is stopping to boot before RAM init and seems the problem is in some other points.

BR,
