Yes.  You  can  load  any  type  of  software,  including  completely
proprietary stuff.

Chapter 8 is a new chapter I intended to add about building and using
Linux kernel modules. I just never found time to add any ral content.

This has nothing to do with U-Boot.

What do you mean what is the status? It's  a  standard  feature  like
TFTP  download or serial console support... It has always been there,
and always will be.

Best regards,
