After copy from media to RAM we will relocate to a runtime defined address. This address depends on some variable parameters which may also be defined at runtime. We had the problem that in some cases the calculated relocation address collates with running u-boot in RAM. The chance to hit this issue is high when you just have room of 1 MiB (which must hold two copies of u-boot!) Best regards Andreas Bie?mann
