[U-Boot-Users] u-boot size and boot issue

Hello list,

I have mips board (au1550) and I'm having issues booting the board on its own when the u-boot size gets larger than 256k. It will boot fine when it's connected to BDI.

What am I doing wrong? I've been trying to figure out where I need to make a change to support u-boot with larger size since as long as the size if smaller than 256k, it works just fine.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your help.
