In this context, firmware refers to a complete system image (see above), including U-Boot, Linux Kernel and Root Filesystem.

For convenience, the default U-Boot environment provides several variables, which can be used to transfer (parts of) the firmware between different storage locations (e.g. SD card, eMMC, NFS, …). The names of these variables adhere to the syntax

upd_<PART>_<TARGET>_<SOURCE>

with the following options

<PART>   = firmware | uboot | kernel | rootfs
<TARGET> = emmc | sd | spi
<SOURCE> = emmc | sd | net

For example, to copy the whole firmware from SD card to eMMC execute

U-Boot# run upd_firmware_emmc_sd

For further details, please have a look at the contents of the respective environment variable, e.g.

U-Boot# printenv upd_firmware_emmc_sd

upd_firmware_emmc_sd=mmc dev ${sddev} && mmc rescan && mmc read ${loadaddr} 0 ${mmcfirmwareblksize} && mmc dev ${emmcdev} && mmc rescan && mmc write ${loadaddr} 0 ${mmcfirmwareblksize}
