[U-Boot] Cyclone 5 U-boot 2015.10

[Simon Brown]

Hi,
I've been in discussion with Marek on this issue, and he suggested I post
to the u-boot mailing list.

I've git cloned uboot 2015.10 and checked it out in my own branch.  I
wasn't about to submit anything back, but this way I hopefully wouldn't
break anything if I did!

I've created a new board, "Axim".  I've setup the DTS, Kconfig, defconfig
files etc similar to the Atlas board addition, and things are compiling
ok.  However, when I run U-boot it gets to a relatively early point and
then says "### ERROR ### Please reset the board ###".  I can't see it say
this ,as it no longer talks to the UART, but I can see that it points to
the memory address containing this string in the debugger, so assume that's
what it prints out, before entering an endless loop.

My setup is slightly odd, in that I need to get U-boot running before I can
configure an SD card.  This means I'm programming my FPGA via JTAG, then
loading the preloader with the ARM DS-5 debugger via JTAG and running it.
I get output on the UART (via FPGA pins), to my PC, to suggest that all is
running well.  I can then upload my u-boot.img file to the preloader using
Ymodem (preloader configured to accept this), and I can run U-boot.

Before I was using the preconfigured 2013.01.01 U-boot as provided on
Rocketboards.org, but since we are using the KSZ9031 chip for our PHY felt
I needed a newer version to support this.  But 2013.01.01 runs ok, and I
can get to the U-boot prompt on the UART, whereas 2015 hangs.

Any clues gratefully received.
