Yes, Lei.

I am using J-Link JTAG with J-LinkGDBServer for loading the u-boot.bin
file on to the board through a .gdbinit script file. One more thing,
when I looked into the config.h file, I found CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR
macro. What is the use of this macro? Is it u-boot load address? I
also changed this and tested. But, lo luck.

Thanks for your information.
