Ok after reading the second link fully, I noticed a few things. First, the boot file is different. We have zImage typically, so I would assume the bootz command would be necessary. *OR* you could convert a zImage to uImage.
Secondly, the base load address is different, so this would need to be taken into account. Although I think changing this would be fairly simple. Lastly, we also need to load the device tree board file, and I am a bit confused about this for loading serially.
