    Do you really need u-boot-format images?
    What's wrong with ELF?
    
    There are other changes to the loaders in progress.
    This will have to wait until those are published
    in any case.

    uImages are the preferred header when using U-Boot (even Linux
    has added support for uImages).  The format is simpler than
    ELF and has some nice relocation properties that does away with
    the usual jump-around-the-header dance at boot.

    I have submitted a patch upstream to the U-Boot folks to treat
    Plan 9 as a first-class citizen:
        http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/229459/

    I don't mind waiting; I've already sent a message to Charles
    mentioning the work.  Hopefully others find this useful.
