First off, sorry for double-posting to this list.

No, the PandaBoard is no HS but a GP device.

This is my configuration:

/* Defines for SPL */
#define CONFIG_SPL
#define CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE        0x40303000
#define CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE        (45 * 1024)
#define CONFIG_SPL_STACK        LOW_LEVEL_SRAM_STACK

The MLO binary has 46094 Bytes. Actually I should have enough space
(from 0x40300000 - 0x4030bfff -> ~49 kB). However, the device does not
start. Right now I am reviewing the code to check, whether it is because
of the code and not because of the size that makes u-boot does not start.
