None of them. u-boot needs uImage which you can generate with(at
kernel build)

make uImage

mkimage tool must be in your PATH.

1. You should write u-boot into your nand/nor flash. If you're using
nand flash you'll need first stage bootloader as well.

2. Then you can download linux kernel to your board using tftp. You
should setup a tftp server on your host machine. Then to boot your
compiled kernel from u-boot prompt:

setenv ipaddr some-ip
setenv serverip host-machine-ip
setenv bootargs console=11520n8,...
saveenv
tftp load-address uImage
bootm load-adresss

3. You'll need a filesystem as well to get started:
