    I'm try to get a basic Genode setup working on a Beaglebone Black
    (TI AM335x processor). I'm using a version of u-boot specifically
    built for the Beaglebone Black from Robert Nelson's eewiki pages.
    The only modification I made was to allow for elf file commands.


I would suggest taking a look at github.com/ksys-labs <http://github.com/ksys-labs>, we should have a tree that supports Omap3


    Carefully following how the PandaBoard and the imx53 platforms
    were build I successfully built from base-hw an elf image for
    run/nested_init and loaded that onto an SDCard which contained the
    two stages of u-boot. (Previously, I had succesfuly built a
    helloworld test version of Fiasco.OC and successfully manually
    booted it from an SDCard with the same MLO and u-boot.img files.
    So the basic process of booting an elf image file works.)

    The elf image is built to load and 0x81000000 with u-boot using
    the space from start of SDRAM at 0x80000000. The elf file header
    has an entry point address of 0x81004DC0.
    Booting the Beagleboard into u-boot from the SDCard, manually
    loading the elf image file to the load address above, and giving
    it a"go" command to the entry point address, I get an "application
    terminated" message as shown below in the console output through
    minicom:
    .


I would suppose you are expected to do a "bootelf 0x81000000" to let u-boot properly align the ELF sections. Otherwise, it should be possible to add the "u-boot" to build.conf flags to build an uImage. Either way, what I did was to take the image.bin.gz, ungzip it and substract 0x8000 bytes from the address. So, I loaded it to the address "0x80ff8000". Then, you can either "go" or "bootz" (if your u-boot supports it).
Take a look around here for details
http://allsoftwaresucks.blogspot.ru/2013/05/porting-genode-to-commercial-hardware.html

    .
    .
    *U-Boot# load mmc 0 0x81000000 image.elf**
    **reading image.elf**
    **604700 bytes read in 73 ms (7.9 MiB/s)**
    **U-Boot# go 0x81004dc0**
    **## Starting application at 0x81004DC0 ...**
    **## Application terminated, rc = 0x8108C004**
    **U-Boot# *

    At termination, the output above shows rc to be pointed at 4 bytes
    beyond the start of the bss section of the image.

    I would have expected to see at least some Genode core debugging
    messages, at least. Is core not being executed at the entry point?

    I believe I have the Board_base stucture and cores cpu, pic,
    platform_support, timer and tlb files correctly set up for the AM335x.

    Thank you for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the reply Alexander. I'll build it with the u-boot in spec.conf and try loading the uImage. "bootelf" on the loadaddr resulted in a data abort crash.
