I took the binaries from your .zip file above and put them on the SD
card for my odroid-xu3 at the offsets above.  I'm using BL1 and TZSW
from the u-boot-hardkernel release[1] and using u-boot-dtb.bin from
my own mainline u-boot build which inclues the odroid-xu3 patches.

If I leave the indicator block zero'd, everything works fine, and it
boots my version of mainline u-boot without any problems.

If I then write a non-zero value to the first byte of the indicator
block and write your unsigned BL2 at the appropriate offset, it no
longer boots.  Is the unsigned BL2 supposed to boot u-boot at offset 65
when it's finished as well?

How are you debugging your SPL images?

I tried adding CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT so I could printf from SPL, but
that doesn't compile because it seems that libfdt support is needed.

[1] branch odroidxu3-v2012.07 from https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot.git
    has pre-built binaries that support u-boot size up to 1M in the
    sd_fuse/hardkernel_1mb_uboot  directory.
