thank you for pointing me to this answer. I have to admit that even if I
had read the title, I would have stopped after reading about bootm and
having to set an environment variable. ;-)

IMHO this example perfectly shows that KISS is still not followed
strict enough: image handling is spread all around (bootm, fpga loadmk,
imxtract), but none of the functions does handle all images and works
in all cases...

I know, there are other things I would have liked to send patches for
(Xilinx FPGA block load and CONFIG_MONITOR_IS_IN_RAM for
MCF532x), but unfortunately U-Boot is thought to be only a very
small part of my current project and I did not have time to clean
things up for submitting. Maybe later - i still hope so.

Wolfgang
