Hello Heiko.
Hmm.. at this place code is not relocated! So it should be executed on the right address.
May I say this is a huge step back from the non-relocation case?
One of the things I love(d) with u-boot (at least the ARM one) is that I could place it in flash at any address and it would just work. So when I have a new binary I first write it to another flash sector and "go" to it. Only if it works I flash at offset 0. Sure I test in RAM first, but since writing the ram image to flash is not uncommon, the final test for me has always been in flash -- also for other reasons.
I also think that simpler is better and I never understood the contorsions of relocation.... but I wouldn't argue if it wasn't a step back (I know the advantages, like going to end of ram, but they don't mean much to me).
Is there any chance we could go on testing on a different flash address without relinking in-between (with the risk of mismatching the two images?)
