I wish it were that easy but it isn't.  I've no idea where to get a
version of uboot for my boards which supports that; TI have always
supplied updates to uboot for me, and with the current state of TI
being afaict in chaos.

TI have always supplied a replacement X-Loader with each uboot update.
I've no idea what X-Loader is or why both get updated together, but...

Moreover, I doubt that the 3430LDP, of which there are multiple versions,
will ever see a uboot update.  It already suffers from a lack of correct
kernel support due to random wiring changes between these versions (the
keypad doesn't work correctly) and I've yet to indentify which version
it is despite downloading the circuits.  So trying to locate the right
uboot will be impossible there.

So, I'm _stuck_ with uImages for these platforms.
