[U-Boot] standalone hello_world example crashes on PowerPC

[Timur Tabi]

Has anyone tried recently to run the "hello world" example standalone
program on PowerPC, specifically an e500 system?  When I try it, I get
this:

=> tftp 40000 timur/hello_world.bin

I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything dumb before I start
debugging it.

Did you verify the entry point address as described in the FAQ?

You might not be as stupid as you look. This is not hard. Let's think
about this. I mean ... I'll think about this, and  you  can  join  in

Thanks, that was the problem.  The entry point moved:

00040000 T hello_world

I suggest that you update the U-Boot Manual (specifically http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootStandalone) to tell people to always use the nm command to find the entry point.  That web page implies that compiling hello_world.c unmodified will always put the entry point at 40004.  The statement, "It's configured to run at address 0x00040004" is false.

Why don't you do this yourself? It's a wiki!

I have also experienced the same problem,
by using command md.w E8008080 10.
according to our memory map of our custom board.

please give solution or what is the cause for this 
problem.
