[U-Boot] Linker script u-boot.lds makes u-boot ELF not load with debugger

[Palacios, Hector]

Hi,

I'm loading U-Boot to an i.MX6Q platform using ARM DSTREAM debugger and after running the DDR initialization script it fails to load the u-boot ELF binary complaining with:

loadfile "/home/hpalacio/git/u-boot-denx/u-boot"
ERROR(CMD16-TAD11-NAL18): 
! Failed to load "u-boot"
! Failed to write 160 bytes to address S:0x00010034
! Bus error on memory operation.
Target Message: Memory access caused precise abort.
Debug Precise Abort Registers : DFSR = 0x00001808, DFAR = 0x00010034


If I revert the changes introduced to arch/arm/cpu/u-boot.lds in commit 47ed5dd031d7d2c587e6afd386e79ccec1a1b7f7, then the u-boot ELF loads fine:

Does anybody know if I should do anything special in my debugger initialization script after commit 47ed5dd031d7d2c587e6afd386e79ccec1a1b7f7 to have it load U-Boot normally?

Thank you.
