I'm afraid that the patch may cause problems with all the other
boards, since it uses the load_addr for something that current hwpacks
do not expect. I'm not certain that the other boards will have
problems, but to be confident we should test this very carefully.

Title:
boot.scr contains wrong kernel load address
Status in Linaro Image Tools:
New
Bug description:
The U-Boot bootcmd environment created by BoardConfig._get_bootcmd()
uses 'kernel_addr' for the address to load the uImage, it should use
'load_addr' instead. The current use of 'kernel_addr ' has the effect
of loading the kernel to the address it will be run from, which U-Boot
interprets as meaning the image is XIP and will end up trying to boot
Linux by execute the image header and therefore crashing.
This affects booting Versatile Express with U-Boot.
I have attached a patch which fixes this.
