You don't need to and should not change anything in U-Boot. All it
takes to do what you want is a two stage boot procedure. In the first
step, boot Linux.


Keep in mind that U-Boot is a boot loader, not an operating system.
Fancy stuff should be done where the enviornment is available for it,
i. e. in an operating system.


[Note: even if you implement Device Mode support as an USB Mass
Storage Device in U-Boot that would be just the first step - you
would then most probably need write support for the file system(s)
of your choice, and ... and ...]

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by  at  least
one instruction - from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
