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:

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