Did you read the documentation? Why are you trying to boot U-Boot image using 'bootm' command? 'bootm' command is used for booting operating system images. If you want to update U-Boot on the board, you need to write it into the flash memory used for booting. Do you have a JTAG debugger for the case updating U-Boot image goes wrong for some reason? > I have tried many different load addresses such as 0x40.0000, > 0x400.0000, 0x800.0000, 0x1000.0000. with exactly the same > behaviour. What am I missing? Please read U-Boot documentation [1] to understand which command is used for which purpose. Updating U-Boot is also described in the U-Boot documentation.
