This is indeed not needed. The Barebox build system calls kwbimage
twice: once to generate an image that uses the BOOT_FROM media as the
boot media, and once to generate an image that can boot from the UART.
The former has a .kwb extension, the latter a .kwbuart extension.

Other than that, I think your tutorial is good. Is there a good place
in Barebox to put some documentation such as this?

Thanks!

Thomas
