Dear Rommel,

Actually "go" is the native command that is supposed tobe used to start SA apps.
example directory but through trial and error (maybe luck) "bootelf" works for me. I've tested that this works with old 2010.XX and latest 2014.XX releases. Note I use PowerPC, but worth I try in your case I guess.
This is how I build the hello_world binary:
tools/mkimage -A powerpc -T standalone -C none -a 0x200000 -e 0x200000 -n hello_world -d examples/standalone/hello_world hello_world.img
And these are these serries of commands that loads and executes the binary:
usb start fatload usb 0 80000 hello_world.img bootelf 80040
Frankly, this is crap. You don;t make use of the image header here, so you could as well save all the efforts. Just store "hello_world" (the ELF file) in your file system, then load that dierectly, and start it. There is no sense in using mkimage as done above.
test # bootelf 80040 ## Starting application at 0x00040000 ... Example expects ABI version 6 Actual U-Boot ABI version 6 Hello World argc = 1 argv[0] = "80040" argv[1] = "<NULL>" Hit any key to exit ...
And how would you pass additional arguments to the SA app?
Use "go", this was made for the purpose at hand!
