Please check the README about the SPL flow. From what I can see malloc() is not available before board_init_r() in SPL.

However, if you add a call to spl_init() from your board_init_f(), then early malloc would be available. Enable this with CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_... as people explained.

Cool, calling spl_init() from board_init_f() allows malloc to work fine.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for sharing this info, it seems it will solve a similar problem of mine on the latest U-Boot code (SPI slave malloc not working during SPL boot from SPI NOR).
