Well, you already mentioned the solution: either use U-Boot, which
seems to be working fine, or fix your own program such that it
performs the same intializations like U-Boot.

Be careful when copying code from U-Boot - U-Boot is under GPL, and
you may quickly find that you have to release your program under GPL,
too.

Best regards,
