[U-Boot] [U-boot] failed to boot an compressed u-boot.bin

[TigerLiu at viatech.com.cn]

Hi, Albert:
I found new u-boot source code had some PIC related question.
I succeeded to boot self-uncompressed u-boot.bin now.

I reviewed self-uncompressed header code (similar with Linux kernel
piggy header), found:
The header code would de-compress compressed uboot.bin to 0x0000 8000
dram location, and then jump to run it.

Because i compiled uboot with "SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x03F80000" in board.cfg
before.
So boot failed.

Now, I changed SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x08000000 in boards.cfg.
So, boot the compressed u-boot.bin successfully!

Best wishes,

IIUC, you then load that "header + u-boot.bin" in memory and it
decompresses itself. At what address does it place the uncompressed
load?
