Hi Tom,

Changing the CONFIG_SYS_SPL_ARGS_ADDR to be the same as the value in the ti_
am335x_common.h header file seems to have fixed the issue.

Unfortunately it hasn't improved the boot time by much - the bulk of the
time seems to be in reading and decompressing the kernel from SPI flash
device (Spansion S25FL164).  The only other storage medium on the board is
an eMMC flash device - would putting the kernel in there give a faster boot
time?

Thanks,

Andy.
