Hello Heinrich
I modified the code for arm32 architecture. You may be using an ARM64 architecture. Take a look at the architecture used.
version of U-Boot (commit in git): d8a7100d658eb201fa0e955667fdff298db31945
operating system and architecture: 5.15.0-130-generic x86_64
installed version of gcc and binutils gcc version 9.4.0 (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.3) GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.34 used defconfig stm32h750-art-pi_defconfig used commands for building make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- ARCH=arm stm32h750-art-pi_defconfig make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- ARCH=arm menuconfig # to add CONFIG_API=y, CONFIG_EXAMPLES=y make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- ARCH=arm -j 12
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0013/d/Application-Binary-Interfa... lists IP, SP, PC as aliases for registers R12, R13, R15. ------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried using R12, R13, R15 and the error message is as follows: examples/api/crt0.S:32: Error: lo register required -- `ldr r12,=search_hint' examples/api/crt0.S:34: Error: lo register required -- `str R13,[r12]' examples/api/crt0.S:40: Error: lo register required -- `ldr r12,=syscall_ptr' examples/api/crt0.S:41: Error: lo register required -- `ldr r15,[r12]'
As the error message suggests, you need to use a low register (lo register), and r12 and similar registers belong to the high register (hi register) category.
Best regards

The current load address for the 'demo' binary does not work for qemu_arm_defconfig.
The suitability of an address to load an ELF binary and run it does not only depend on the architecture but also on the memory layout of the board.
On most boards we can assume that 8 MiB of memory is available above $loadaddr. So $loadaddr + 0x400000 should work there.
