Have you tried mainline U-Boot? It already supports nyan-big. I'm not
sure about the situation with the downstream trees.

It is possible that it needs a particular address due to limitations
in the FIT support on Nyan. I'm not sure what it is but might be able
to take a look at some point.

How are you building your SD card? Are you following some instructions
from somewhere?
