After compiling success,i check the file of "u-boot" with arm-linux-readelf.It warns me : Segmentation fault This is the result of readelf.

I have no idea what was wrong with my uboot.

I suppose something wrong
with the link stage of compiling uboot.Any suggestion is really appereciated !

Since you have made modifications to this U-boot in order to support your HW, we can hardly tell without knowing your changes... And then, you're not using the latest U-Boot either, which will be necessary if you want patches accepted to the mainline anyway.

The most I can tell is that there is a board based on s3c44b0, the B2, but it does not build at this point, for lack of relocation support.

(BTW: the fix to B2 should be fairly trivial, and without it in the coming weeks, this board will, as several other tens like it, be removed from U-Boot; copying the board maintainer just to be sure).

My best suggestion is thus that you upgrade to the latest U-Boot and compare your code with that of the B2 even if it does not currently build; start from bare U-Boot and add features in small, buildable, amounts (which would be needed as well for submission anyway) until you hit the readelf issue.

As your suggestion for me,Albert,I upgrade to "fa82f871c8dbc9a15e8dc274b3f99dd5fa0da458" by Git.This is the latest version i found on Git .And modified some places to make uboot buildable. Now arm-linux-readelf has no longer warns "segmentation fault", but after i burn u-boot.bin into flash,still nothing happened.I vim readelf.result and i found the file type is "DYN (Shared object file)" not "executeable". I try another cpu config such as smdk2410_config and b2_config,then arm-linux-readelf ,but the results are the same "DYN (Shared object file)". could you help me for explaining this.thx a lot.

Best regards
