Here a boot script I am currently using on Efika targets:

setenv kernel uImage;
setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rw
video=imx-ipuv3-fb:1024x600M-16@60 rootfstype=ext4 quiet lpj=3997696
earlyprintk=serial;
${loadcmd} ${ramdiskaddr} ${ramdisk};
if imi ${ramdiskaddr}; then; else
  setenv bootargs ${bootargs} noinitrd;
  setenv ramdiskaddr "";
fi;
${loadcmd} ${kerneladdr} ${kernel}
if imi ${kerneladdr}; then
  bootm ${kerneladdr} ${ramdiskaddr}
fi;

Do we want kernel versioning?

Do we want bootargs per machine? Or what alternatives do we have to
handle bootargs? I am really not sure how to handle that, while I do
not like hardcoded values, those might be needed.

In an official version I suspect we need to replace noinitrd bit.

Cheers,
