Sorry for the late reply.

 I don't have experience on using UEFI. I'll check the current implementation for qemu-arm and will try to use UEFI path for  BBB. I also created issue [1] in isar-cip-core to discuss SWUpdate on BBB.

 It is tested only for BBB SWUpdate. I'll check and update the patches such that they shouldn't break UEFI integration.

I've hacked up a version that boots the BBB in UEFI mode and uses the
same pattern that we have for qemu-arm. But I still need to convert that
into commits and send patches to the list. Will do that next days, then
we can discuss the pros and cons.
