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
Remote debugging using :3333
0x000000000000c904 in ?? ()
(gdb) load

(gdb) x/i 0x7e1000
   0x7e1000 <_start>:    b    0x7e1028 <reset>

(gdb) stepi

(gdb) i r pc
pc             0x200               0x200

(gdb) x/i 0x200
=> 0x200:    b    0x13dc4

```

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)

GNU gdb (GDB) 10.0.50.20200418-git

Best regards

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.
