OK, I tried following you advice, and copied step by step the dts with
values corresponding to my board.

It took several iterations to get done, but attached is the dts I
wrote. Still, it doesn't boot and I get no message after the
decompressor message. But I get something: the leds change according to
the configuration of the dts, so something is going on (I noticed the
change after several failed boot where no led changed and fixing a typo
made it).

My main problem is getting some debug messages: no amount of "debug"
and "loglevel" on the command line seems to change anything. Is it too
early in the boot process to get anything output or am I doing
something wrong? (I activated some configs for debugging, but I may
have missed the good one)

Thanks,
