[U-Boot] Standalone Application Images support (bootm)

Dear Wolfgang Denk,
Thanks for your response, I also answer your question below.

Standalone Applications are no operating systems,m so "bootm" is the

This is the answer I was expecting, bootm does not support Standalone
Application Images. My question was not complete, I thought it was not
necessary to repeat the mail subject. It should have been: "Are Standalone
Application Images supported by bootm in the current u-boot  (GIT repo)?"

Probably not so difficult, however "go" on its own does not complete the job
I want to do. I want u-boot to start a Standalone Application that is stored
in flash without user interaction. In order to do that I have to copy the
Standalone Application from flash to ram (it is not XIP) and then run it
from ram. I will try to use scripting.

In any case it was easier with u-boot 1.2.0 where the bootm command did
support Standalone Application Images making the program copy and run all in
one go.
