Using this command provides the advantage to reduce code replication & maintainence by leveraging existing APIs (common_diskboot) which functionally does the same thing as a uboot script would do read one block, get size from header, read whole image, and bootm it, while additionally doing basic checks. -- Sent from: http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/
