One of my important targets to use u-boot is to let my board be able to boot Linux kernel as the following way:
- Power ON
- VxWorks Bootrom started from FLASH 0xFEF00100
- Start U-Boot (BIN) from FLASH 0xFEFC0000
- U-Boot starts Linux/Initrd/DTB following the command line configured
in VxWorks Bootrom (this is still not resolved yet)
Finally, my VxWorks bootrom can be selectable to boot a normal VxWorks image or a super package including Uboot and linux. And vice versa, if I put the U Boot's FLASH address as the CPU starting entry point, the u boot can also be selectable to boot any kinds of images.
Why are you making all this so complicated? What do you need the VxWorks Bootrom for? Just install U-Boot in flash, and let U-Boot boot either Linux or VxWorks.
