You'll want u-boot-menu and/or flash-kernel installed. I'd recommend
u-boot-menu since you have a simple partition layout.

Glad to hear HDMI output is working!

I would strongly recommend getting a serial adapter as well in case you
need it at some point. In case the kernel version you have installed
doesn't yet support HDMI or other surprises along the way.
