Is there any way to access global data defined in U-Boot from standalone applications? For example, hello_world wants to access flash_info[].
Be careful with your terms. It is trivial to access "global data" in SA apps as the GD pointer is passed in a register - but "Global Data" in U-Boot is something which has nothing to do with flash_info[].
You can export and call in SA apps functions which perform operations on flash_info[], but you cannot access flash_info[] or any other global variables directly.
Note that this is intentional.
