It looks like Cc to Lauri is not bouncing so far.

For other boot images, binary compare matched except a few bytes
difference which comes from time stamp.

But, when  I compared u-boot.sb
I had much more diffs than I expect for the difference of timestamp.

I still cannot understand what is different from the others.

Anyway, that's good to know it worked on run test.

It's really appreciated. Thanks!

Good point.
MXSIMAGE is no good because the short log must be within 7 characters.
MKIMAGE is OK.

Why UIMAGE?

All explanation I can give is 
just the mimic of scripts/Makefile.build which originates
from Linux Kernel.

Around line 340,

quiet_cmd_uimage = UIMAGE  $(UIMAGE_OUT)
      cmd_uimage = $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(MKIMAGE) -A $(UIMAGE_ARCH) -O linux \


Anyway I do not persist on "UIMAGE".
If requested (or you can post a patch), it's  OK to rename it,
althogh naming must be consistent throughout the code.


Best Regards
