That was to be expected.

To port U-Boot (and Linux) to new hardware, you need detailled documentation of the hardware, ideally including schematics, minimally a detailled block diagram and the pin mux table. > strings doesn't gives me a long list of things there.

It can be anything. there is a zillion of ways to pack stuff into images... It my help to look for compression headers - strings does not help on compressed images / compressed parts within an image.
