I disable autostart and download barebox image to 0x8000 with
tftp 0x8000 barebox.bin and then jut go 0x8000 ended with:
## Starting application at 0x00008000 ...

Same I got when load latest compiled u-boot binary.

For compilation I used Codesourcery eabi toolchain arm-2009q3
with at91sam9260ek_defconfig.

Could I somehow check (without JTAG :)) if image is compiled OK
and could start on board?
