U-boot is intended to replace linux kernel in android boot image, and it's FIT payload to replace initramfs file. The boot process is similar to boot image with linux: - android bootloader (ABL) unpacks android boot image - ABL sets `linux,initrd-start property` in chosen node in unpacked FDT - ABL sets x0 register to FDT address, and passes control to u-boot - u-boot reads x0 register, and stores it in `abl_fdt_addr` env variable - u-boot reads `linux,initrd-start` property, and stores it in `abl_initrd_start_addr`

In this way, u-boot bootcmd relies on `abl_initrd_start_addr` env variable, and boils down to `bootm $abl_initrd_start_addr`. If more control on boot process is desired, pack a boot script in FIT image, and put it to default configuration
