Did all BBB rev C boards ship with an U-Boot version that had FIT image support? The oldest version I could find on the BBBs I have running and reachable via SSH is U-Boot 2015.10-00001-g143c9ee (probably shipped in 2017). FWIW, the main README in the U-Boot repo only mentions FIT image format in passing (referencing a file that doesn't exist) and then goes on to explain the "Old uImage format" in detail. To a casual reader that suggests that the old format is still the primary format and that FIT is the more modern one that can be used for more complicated cases if needed. Sascha
