Yes, I don't add any of those bootloaders that want to be located in random sectors of the boot device to the multiplatform image, but rather expect the users to do that themselves. Reason being that there will be conflicts once multiple boards with the same SoC, and increases the risk of running some incorrect U-Boot accidentally, which could potentially (but probably unlikely) cause hardware damage. Packaging the boot blobs separately sounds good to me. |

The package is not as convenient as it may be because one doesn't usually have an ARM board to build a package for another ARM board (U-Boot is required to be built on the native platform now). Not sure if this can be done better without adding cross-compiled U-Boot derivations to nixpkgs. |

Motivation for this change
This enables TTL console on the multiplatform image and also builds U-Boot. Notice that the image is still not bootable out of the box; this requires non-standard modification (these boards need bootloader and uboot in the first 2KB). I don't think we want to do this with the multiplatform image (and there are also older ODROID boards which need different boot code in the same place). I think of simply packaging the
