Dear "V, Aneesh",
In message FF55437E1F14DA4BAEB721A458B6701706FD3137F3@dbde02.ent.ti.com you wrote:
If the preloader loads the u-boot to the location that it is built for everything should work fine once bss is initialized, right?
There is no such thing as a "location that it is built for", as the location in RAM may differ, depending on enabled features - for example, pRAM size or (shared) frame buffer size may change depending on environment variable settings. In the result, the location of U-Boot in RAM shifts. You cannot know the final address at build time.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
