For production systems it is better to use script images since they are protected by checksums and carry valuable information like name and timestamp. Also, you can't validate the content passed to env import.
But for development, it is easier to use the env import command and plain text files instead of script-images.
Since both OMAP5evm/uevm boards are used primarily for development, we allow U-Boot to load env var from a text file in case that an boot.scr script-image is not present.
The variable uenvcmd (if existent) will be executed (using run) after uEnv.txt was loaded. If uenvcmd doesn't exist the default boot sequence will be started.
Inspired by commit: d70f54808dfa83b574e1239c3eccbcf3317343e1 (omap4: allow the use of a plain text env file instead boot scripts)

OK, Sricharan is also working on something like this, with a few other changes as well (Use zImage, load fdt). I suspect we'll be taking that in.
is there a patch posted in u-boot list? or at least an ETA when we might be able to see such a patch? Regards, Nishanth Menon
I added this in the series.

In fact i added my version of this patch. Same functional change. I will add your patch instead of mine, given that you posted before mine.
Regards, Sricharan
