Thanks for the reply.
As you said re-assigning TEXT_BASE won't work. But why?
Truly speaking I don't know exactly how the U-boot booting process happens, I mean i don't know how it is loaded in differrent stages and where.... Can you plz suggest some tutorial for the same....I couldn't find one.
I had changed TEXT_BASE since I assumed that after power-on the system reads from location 0x00000000. So I had changed the TEXT_BASE address so that the system would read from location 0x00000000 where I have placed my u-boot.

You had also mentioned that u r using a different tool chain. Which one is that?
It would be really helpful for me if you list out the steps for building u-boot and the memory switch settings. Also it would be great if you can specify how to convert a .srec or .bin file to .m0 file. Also, what's the difference between booting through rrload and booting through U-boot.

  Replaced it with: 
       TEXT_BASE = 0x00000000

In doing this, you're re-assigning TEXT_BASE, part of the memory U-Boot
runs
in, from RAM to Flash memory. This simply won't

work. >Do you have a

to be changing the address it uses, or were you intending to manipulate
a
different aspect of memory that might be governed by some other
constant we
could help you with?
