Hello Pavel, Not bad so far. :) ...it started something. According to gdb it looks like "new" u-boot executes briefly, but fails in C code while processing intialization, and it seems that "old" u-boot takes over. (Some kind of failure and board resets itself?). Yes, the u-boot resets itself. This is a workaround of a known problem The code lies at arch/arm/cpu/arm_cortexa8/spear13xx/cpu.c search for config_spear1300_issue_101435.

A few thoughts: - Is this the original (installed in flash) image or different one? - If it is a new image, did you try booting the original U-Boot version this way as well? - Are the load and start addresses ok? Did you check this with the original images (iminfo)? Sorry, no more time mow.

My experience is mostly SPEAr600 only right now. Not sure if there are bigger differences between those SoC's in the BootROM. SPEAr600 uses XLoader as SPL. The case is same with spear1310. It needs an Xloader to boot. The differences are a dual core CortexA9 CPU and more peripherals. The uboot present at "git://stlinux.com/spear/u-boot.git" supports spear1310. Please have a look and revert back if you have any doubt I ported U-Boot SPL for SPEAr600 though, completely obsoleting XLoader. Patches are not quite ready for the list though. Thanks Stefan. I have been thinking of doing the same for a long time now.

Ah that's good idea indeed, though sometimes you might want to break the
execution after the BootROM, since bootrom might be doing some mandatory chip
init.

Yes, good point. But a "STARTUP RESET ;no code is executed after reset" seems
to solve this problem as well. At least for me on SPEAr600. I know. Since I
broke my SPL from time to time. ;)

I believe the spear600 is totally different from 1300. But, simple:
reset halt ; load ... ; go ...
combo should work I believe. In case you're loading some U-Boot SPL, it's very
good idea to put an "asm volatile("x : b x");" line into the SPL to make the
CPU
loop instead of try loading uboot. Since if the CPU is looping, you can break
it
with BDI, if it isn't looping and jumps to some garbage, it usually ends in
undefined state and bootrom might further tamper with the CPU configuration.
