Is there something I can do to make sure uboot is actually being jumped to or why the hang? I've set the offsets to go to the _start_e500: instructions like the old uboot. I can share the traces I have if needed. Looking forward to an answer.

There might have been some issue with certain PowerPC platforms
introduced after the v2016.xx releases and fixed later than v2020.04,
and git log might help. Of course, it would be better still if you could
move to current mainline and then help with PowerPC maintenance, as we
do need more people helping there. Thanks.
