The easiest is probably to do something custom in SPL and update imx_usb to support the same. There's a WRITE_FILE command in the serial download protocol which could serve as an example, though 100% compatibility isn't needed, since the internal ROM isn't needed. Note that this would also require updates to the SB_LOADER tool used in the Freescale Manufacturing tool for use on Windows. I think that's closed source (and C# or somesuch), but perhaps Fabio can provide details. The harder way (and the Freescale way) is to somehow package the SPL content and full U-Boot image in a way such that the SPL is a "plugin" that can execute and return to the boot loader after setting up DDR and bundle SPL and u-boot.img into a single .imx file. I think that both imx_usb and sb_loader support plugins.
