Thanks for your time Wolfgang.

But Even if I ignore GOT pointer my problem still persists. The problem 
of bootloader trying to jump to an address which does not exist.

I compile for ROM version(config.mk) the code downloads in flash but 
when it relocates itself to SDRAM, the address it tries to jump is a 
"valid" SDRAM address but I don't see that address anywhere in 
u-boot.dis. All the addresses in u-boot.dis are relative to the 
TEXT_BASE I have given in ROM version.

Do I need to make some changes in linker file ? For the same board and 
YAMON bootloader the disassembled file has initial flash addresses and 
then SDRAM addresses for opcodes after the code is relocated. I am not 
expecting the same from u-boot but I am unable to understand u-boot 
policy regarding this.


Thanks and regards,
Pooja
