With this patch series, U-Boot binary u-boot.bin (or u-boot-with-spl.bin when SPL is used) for QorIQ pre-PBL platforms can be directly copied to SD card without need to process binary via external formatting tools.
Tested on P2020 based board with SPL booting and also direct U-Boot booting without SPL.
Depends on other powerpc mpc85xx patches: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=293592&state=*
When using SPL, also following mmc fsl_esdhc_spl patches are required: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=293276&state=*
And when using SPL and u-boot-with-spl.bin is stored on non-zero sector then also following patch is required: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20220404163311.5853-1-pali@k...
