Work with a modified snakeos and need to use a serial ttl to upload
the OS image.

Here is memory map:
0x30000000-0x00FFFFFF - is a mapped flash memory (16mb)
0x30000000-0x3003FFFF - bootloader Snakeos image should start from
0x30040000 (length = 0x3b0000 bytes) The kernel should be at
0x30060000 after flashing and it length is 0xf0000 bytes.

I used this uboot commands to flash that image through tftp server:
1) tftpboot 0x100000 snakeos.bin
2) cp.b 0x100000 0x30040000 0x3b0000
3) setenv boot_cmd cp.b 0x30060000 0x100000 0xf0000\; go 0x100000
4) saveenv

then reboot. should work

if it not booting, try to run manually first:
1) cp.b 0x30060000 0x100000 0xf0000
2) go 0x100000
