Thanks Wolfgang,
I will do and post the result.
Many thanks.
I've never got "bootm" to run any of the standalone applications in the 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
----- test # usb start (Re)start USB... USB: Register 1111 NbrPorts 1 USB EHCI 1.00 scanning bus for devices... 3 USB Device(s) found scanning bus for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found test # fatload usb 0 80000 hello_world.img reading hello_world.img

Good luck!
All the best, Rommel
