Hi,

uboot is described in total from a key part of its developers in [1].

For booting it is TFTP with combination of maybe NFS for the filesystem.

You just have to plug in an ethernet-cable and set the ip address and server ip in the environment (and of course have a corresponding TFTP-Server/NFS-Server in the net).
