I have added debug output:

--- a/arch/riscv/boot/uncompress.c
+++ b/arch/riscv/boot/uncompress.c
@@ -46,6 +46,9 @@ void __noreturn barebox_pbl_start(unsigned long membase, unsigned long memsize,
                relocate_to_adr(membase);
 
        pg_len = pg_end - pg_start;
+       puts_ll("get_runtime_offset()=0x");
+       puthex_ll(get_runtime_offset());
+       puts_ll("\n");
        uncompressed_len = input_data_len();
 
        barebox_base = riscv_mem_barebox_image(membase, endmem,


I see 

  >get_runtime_offset()=0x00000000

on both QEMU and FPGA.


I have experimented with empty_slot on qemu. To reproduce my result please
apply this patch to erizo qemu, reconfigure and rebuild qemu.
