I'm treated as an outsider. Post's that don't follow the approved recipe
are ignored. You run the supplied code even it it doesn't work. I've
explicitly asked on at least 5 occasions how to do something that's
involved with u-boot, got a link once to some code written in 2001 and
never updated since, that hadn't a single thing to do with u-boot. Zero
response the other 4 times.
Whats really disgusting is that I have watched apt update the pi kernel 2
times now, but it does not leave the deb that did it
in /var/cache/apt/archives. So I've never had an opportunity to take one
of those deb's apart to see if I could figure out how they take a std
kernel build apart and reassemble it into something that works for a
u-boot system. The kernel has a script directory that looks interesting:

mkuboot.sh for instance, but it needs at least 10 arguments:
pi@picnc:/media/pi/workpi120/buildbot/linux-5.1.14 $ sudo bash -x
scripts/mkuboot.sh
++ type -path mkimage
+ MKIMAGE=/usr/bin/mkimage
+ '[' -z /usr/bin/mkimage ']'
+ /usr/bin/mkimage
Error: Missing output filename
Usage: /usr/bin/mkimage -l image
-l ==> list image header information
/usr/bin/mkimage [-x] -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e
ep -n name -d data_file[:data_file...] image
-A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
-O ==> set operating system to 'os'
-T ==> set image type to 'type'
-C ==> set compression type 'comp'
-a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
-e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
-n ==> set image name to 'name'
-d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
-x ==> set XIP (execute in place)
/usr/bin/mkimage [-D dtc_options] [-f fit-image.its|-f auto|-F]
[-b <dtb> [-b <dtb>]] [-i <ramdisk.cpio.gz>] fit-image
<dtb> file is used with -f auto, it may occur multiple times.
-D => set all options for device tree compiler
-f => input filename for FIT source
-i => input filename for ramdisk file
Signing / verified boot not supported (CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE undefined)
/usr/bin/mkimage -V ==> print version information and exit
Use -T to see a list of available image types
Oh, and the -T? Doesn't change a thing.
But with no docs, what the hell do you do with it?
Hell, I can't even build the pdfdocs, sphinx has been removed from
buster, so all that info is locked away in the minds of a select group
of raspian developers. And I think they want it that way.

Regards to you too, Robert Nelson. Take care now.
