Hello Pirmin,

I was on vacation, so sorry for my late response.

I don't know exactly what the last two lines denote, but given that
the link address of bootstrap is 0x10001000 and you load the uImage
via u-boot to 0x14000000, there is only ~64MiB for the uncompressed
system image including all boot modules left. Your (normally
compressed) uImage is more than 26 MiB in size, so uncompressed
probably much bigger than 64 MiB. So in my eyes there is a big chance
for an overlap. Sadly, u-boot won't warn you about it.

To exclude an overlap, please change your uImage loadaddr to something
like 0x30000000.

Best regards
Stefan
