Flashing U-Boot Image
---------------------
If you want to replace a working U-Boot with a new version, you can
-load the new U-Boot image via TFTP and program it like any other flash
-partition with:
-nand erase.part u-boot;nand write.trimffs ${fileaddr} u-boot ${filesize}
+load the new U-Boot image via TFTP or SD-Card and write it to flash
+with the 'romupdate' command.
If you want to revive a bricked module, U-Boot can be downloaded via
-USB with the 'sbloader' tool in recovery boot mode (Jumper ST3
-on Starterkit-5 baseboard closed). See TX28-U-Boot.pdf for details.
