As pointed out many times before this is probably  not  a  good  idea
unless you know exactly what you are doing and how U-Boot is working.
If this is one of your first ports of U-Boot and/or if you don;t know
the  processor  really  well  I  recommend to use the standard way of
booting from flash instead.

Maybe your debugger is not working as expected...
