Debug u-boot SPL on NXP imx8mm-evk

Hello,

How to debug u-boot SPL on i.MX8M Mini (NXP imx8mm-evk) ?

Why the $pc goes to 0x200 instead of executing spl instruction ?

```

user@desktop:~/sources/u-boot$ ../binutils-gdb/gdb/gdb -q spl/u-boot-spl
Reading symbols from spl/u-boot-spl...
(gdb) target remote :3333

```

BOOT_MODE[3:0] = 0101 (serial downloader)

openocd 0.10.0 (openocd -f ./tcl/interface/ftdi/olimex-arm-usb-ocd-h.cfg -f ./tcl/board/imx8mp-evk.cfg)

Hi Yuri!

I have similar problems on a imx8mn-evk board when I try to load the SPL.

What was the solution to the https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/Debug-u-boot-SPL-on-NXP-imx8mm-evk/m-p/1079629 question.
