OK... I did some debugging using lauterbach and loading the U-boot to
RAM. Looks like U-boot is getting stuck in one of the ns16550_reinit
function which is getting called from serial_putc function. I am not
sure why this is happening all of a sudden unless RS232 transeiver on
the board has gone bad...

Any ideas from on how to debug this and to confirm UART on board is
good/bad are appreciated.

Thanks,
Meher

If you load the elf image, it already have embedded the load address

location, just run...

However I think in most places what's available is the uboot image on
uboot format, so you need to download the source and compile by
yourself. Anycase, I'm attaching a ELF version of the u-boot running
on my board on a private mail to not pollute the mail list, it will
save you some time.
