Judging from this output it seems that the board hangs as soon as you
performed the "saveenv" command. Where is the environment  stored  on
your  board? To me this looks like the environment placement for your
board was not configured correctly in U-Boot.

Umm... but this is off topic here.  Let's  move  this  discussion  to
u-boot-users, please.

Best regards,
