You may only disabe normal instead of fallback.

LB will execute failover at first.

Takeshi,

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried memtest86-3.1.a. This guy creates a
69356Byte elf file. It exceeds 64KB. So, I disabled fallback. However, I
can not boot from the romimage I created (i.e. cann't get any information
from serial console). Following is the configure file. If you have time,
would you please check it. Thanks again!

Also, you might want to make PAYLOAD_SIZE = (ROM_SECTION_SIZE - 
ROM_IMAGE_SIZE)

Here is a config file that only has fallback, not normal. 

It uses a kernel as the payload.
