The kernel is from upstream with a few extras to reduce the size of
the 'aspeed_g5' zImage because it is too big for the flash layout.
Mainline U-Boot has enough support to load the kernel from the flash
device and from network but it is still behind the OpenBMC branch
where most the development is done.
The main resulting file from the build is a flash image. The partition
layout matches the OpenBMC one for 32M chips. It makes it easier to
update the different partitions from Linux. Intermediate files can be
used to boot from U-Boot over the network or to boot QEMU using
-kernel/-initrd/-dtb.

The kernel is from upstream and U-Boot is from the OpenBMC branch
because mainline doesn't have the required support for HW, yet.
The main resulting file from the build is a flash image. The partition
layout matches the OpenBMC one for 64M chips. It makes it easier to
update the different partitions from Linux. Intermediate files can be
used to boot from U-boot over the network or to boot QEMU using
-kernel/-initrd/-dtb.
