No comment. [This is off topic here.]

This cannot work. U-Boot standalone applications cannot be run  in  a
different  environment. They make use of certain services provided by
U-Boot like a  dynamically  linked  application  relies  on  services
provided by some shared libraries.

I don't understand exactly what you mean here, since U-Boot does  not
use any virtual memory, so all addresses are physical addresses only.

Define "any standalone application"!

As you have  seen  from  your  test  (which  failed)  the  answer  is
obviously: No, you cannot.

Because U-boot is a boot loader and not a VxWorks image.
