This is fairly new in u-boot, but yes, it's probably possible in most cases with recent u-boot versions. > That would mean we could further simplify the u-boot-install-sunxi script.

Please compare against the u-boot-install-sunxi script in the 2021.01~rc+ versions in experimental. > Out of interest, what's the reason for including uboot.elf?

I tried removing it at some point, but some platforms require it (e.g. p2371-2180 in u-boot-tegra). Thanks! live well, vagrant
