Of cource i entered go command and and user right address

Few reasons, at first, the board is not Icecube, it is my own and it has 
diferent flash etc.
It is easiest to do initial testing to load code to internal sram . With 
this code i can
test ethernet, serial, flash and sdram. And it is fast to program flash 
directly over ethernet.

It is pointing reset vector and there is right reset code in this 
address.  I traced execution
with bdi2000 ti command and it executes something 10 instructions ultill 
it hangs
allways in same place.

Or, if i just run from reset:

In either case nothing appears in to the console.  Also, allways the 
address is same
and i got the step timeout.

I did not find anything about this issue. The u-boot works, it has right 
addresses,
vectors etc. It just things that i already know. The problem is to get 
it working
with bdi2000.  There is something that i did wrong with bdi2000 
configuration
and i try figure out what.
