We tried the B PI 2 and 3 believe.
We dropped them, because of the inability to manage over-scan. If there is documentation on this we could not find it, nor could the board manufacturer send it to us.

If u-boot is using boot.scr for a boot script, it appears nearly everything else in the environment, especially the predefined scripts, are not needed, and if there is a "size of u-boot issue", this might be a mechanism to reduce u-boot's overall size.

It was a suggestion, Not a recommendation.
