This is how I use kwboot:

1. Boot your board (with stock U-Boot and Linux) and extract the bootloader.
   According to my notes, I just grabbed a couple megabytes:

   $ dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/mtd0.dump bs=1M count=2

   I guess you can grab the entire bootloader partition (if you have one).

2. Run kwbimage tool and dump the output to the appropriate board directory:

  $ ./scripts/kwbimage -x -i /srv/nfs/mtd0.dump -o arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/

  Fix the produced kwbimage.cfg to boot from UART (actually, I think it's not needed):

  diff --git a/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg b/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg
  index 219c2ec..fd6c0df 100644
  --- a/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg
  +++ b/arch/arm/boards/plathome-openblocks-ax3/kwbimage.cfg
  @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
   VERSION 1
  -BOOT_FROM spi
  +BOOT_FROM uart
   DESTADDR 00600000
   EXECADDR 006b0000
   NAND_BLKSZ 00000000

3. Make your barebox

  $ make

4. Run kwboot and have fun!

  $ ./scripts/kwboot -b images/barebox-plathome-openblocks-ax3.img -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

After kwboot transfers the image, it starts a terminal. You don't need to open another one,
and close everything listening on ttyUSB0 or kwboot won't work fine. It should take less
than a minute to transfer the image.

This works for me on every mvebu board I have, but it was a major pain at first :/
