Nothing changes in u-boot - you boot the system as normal. Your new updater just runs at start up as other parts of the system do, such as syslog, ssh or cron for example. Have you considered using RPM as the package format for your app? You get it for 'free' on the DM6446 and the package is av

Actually the RBL can load more than 30K, the limitation is from where to load it... when the EVM starts only the ARM TCM (Tight Couple Memory, which TI calls IRAM) is enabled, and provides 30k of RAM. Since u-boot is bigger than that, you need a intermediate loader (UBL) that does initializ
