Antminer S9 board - U-boot and network booting

It is fairly simple to get root access to the linux system on one of these boards. I turns out to be less easy to reconfigure U-Boot to do a diskless (network) boot of arbitary images.

A first attempt
Xilinx documentation (important)
Build U-boot from source
trouble with mkeficapsule
Building and using bootgen
Set up an SD card
Antminer S9 boot jumpers
A short cut
U-boot environment on my short cut card
