I think 2 or 3 files would be useful to ship in such a package. First would be "u-boot.bin" or whatever the output filename is. Second might be a README mentioning the 3 values needing to be set in a domu.cfg file. Third might be a /etc/xen/xlexample.u-boot file. The 3 values which need to be set in the domain configuration file are: kernel = "/usr/lib/u-boot/xen/u-boot.bin" # ramdisk = # extra = Mainly the "ramdisk" and "extra" settings should be left unset, while "kernel" points at the U-Boot image. A /etc/xen/xlexample.u-boot would be a copy of Xen's /etc/xen/xlexample.pvlinux with the 3 values set appropriately. Then https://wiki.debian.org/Xen should be adjusted to mention U-Boot being available to boot user domains for Xen. In fact I'm trying to find out whether Xen/U-Boot can load OSes besides Linux. Note, this is presently theory as src:u-boot has a problematic set of package requirements. Presently libfdt-dev doesn't allow installation of multiple architecture versions. My build VM is setup to target Xen which needs the host package, while the u-boot build needs the build package.
