1. It needs a special build target to build the final image[1]
2. Needs binary blobs in the root dir (I need it to use an env var to
specify the location, or ideally use Binman)
3. The first time I build it gives an error, so I need to build a
second time; it should build from a clean directory in one pass

Other things, for some reason, there is quite a delay between when the
board boots and uuu returns, so some console output is lost. Also uuu
is hugely verbose and needs a 'silent' mode.

Passing run here at [2]

Simon
