I do not think so, but you are the best to answer this question: unzip
the file and check inside.

However, even if it contains a u-boot.bin or whatever is your u-boot
file, you have to extract it to write the bootloader at the right address.

In most cases, you will see a separate image for u-boot in
tmp/deploy/images diurectory.

No. To modify the serial console under linux.

See Robert reply. SERIAL_CONSOLE is deprecated, uses SERIAL_CONSOLES
instead.

Mmmhh..there is something missing. Usually you have a separate file for
u-boot. Of course, if u-boot is part of the filesystem, you cannot use
for a first installation because u-boot must be copied at a specific
address.
