 Hi, multiple questions :

 - How did you compile uboot ?
 - Did you try booting kernel directly or ubldr first ?
 - Where do it get stuck exactly ?

 You can find all my u-boot patches here :

 Those patches applies on u-boot-2016.11 and it's everything you need
to have a U-Boot for Allwinner device (with some extras that you won't
need too).
