I have an embedded planet EP8555 board where in board/ep85xxm there is a config.mk and a u-boot.lds. I have made the following changes to move the u-boot image from its default to slightly lower in flash to have a second copy to work with. For some reason, the first malloc call panics, says "bad trap" and the original image then boots, not my test image. Here are the changes I made:

Config.mk TEXT_BASE was 0xFFF80000, change to 0xFFE00500 u-boot.lds .resetvec was 0xFFFFFFFC, change to 0xFFE00000 .bootpg was 0xFFFFF000, change to 0xFFE00100

Using a BDI-2000, I can flash this new image and run it by going "go 0xffe00000". It runs for a while, but has trouble with malloc as I said.

It appears that the malloc area was originally set to 0x03F9E000, but the first bin_at shows the av_ array at 0x03FEEC8C.

So, I think there is another constant I need to change related to CFG_MONITOR_BASE, TEXT_BASE or something similar.

Here is an edited serial print of the current state.
