Dear Simon
I just wanted to play around with the sandbox "arch" of u-boot maybe
adding tun/tap support. Current head compiled successfully but crashed
immediately after startup in board_init_f:
gd = malloc(sizeof(gd_t));
assert(gd);
memset((void *)gd, 0, sizeof(gd_t));
The simple reason was that malloc refers to u-boots internal malloc
which is not initialized at this point. I added the following snippet
diff --git a/arch/sandbox/cpu/start.c b/arch/sandbox/cpu/start.c
index 685793e..c98ca61 100644
--- a/arch/sandbox/cpu/start.c

{

and got the console working. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong when
building u-boot from current head? Wouldn't it be a better approach to
use the internal malloc of u-boot and acquire some memory from the
system using mmap?

Matthias
