The > kernel built on the parent commit below works all fine. It actually fails in the decompressor or that's the last output you get? I compared the decompressor disassembly of both cases and get the same number of ldrb/strb instructions, so I don't think it is directly related to alignment. I tried the XY decompressor as that is one difference, but that works fine for me on highbank. Does it work with an empty uncompress.h functions? That should be the only difference in our decompressor code.
