Yes, both should really work but remember to change the U-Boot bootm command as used for uImages to bootz as used for zImages.
@brandon.tx Oh right. On what does a suitable setting depend on? What would you suggest?
That’s your partition offset isn’t it.
@marcel.tx I did some step back and used the original apalis image (with my custom rootfs + apalis image rootfs drivers). I moved uImage from boot to rootfs/boot and tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb from boot to rootfs/boot.
I adjusted the u-boot environment:
emmcargs=ip=off root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait
emmcboot=run setup; setenv bootargs ${defargs} ${emmcargs} ${setupargs} ${vidargs}; echo Booting from internal eMMC chip...; run emmcdtbload; load mmc 0:2 ${kernel_addr_r} /boot/${boot_file} && run fdt_fixup && bootm ${kernel_addr_r} - ${dtbparam}
emmcdtbload=setenv dtbparam; load mmc 0:2 ${fdt_addr_r} /boot/${soc}-apalis-${fdt_board}.dtb && setenv dtbparam ${fdt_addr_r}
It seems like the kernel is loaded but the dtb is not:
Apalis TK1 # reset

And what does ls mmc 0:2 /boot say?
I guess. What does U-Boot now output e.g. mine does
Model: Toradex Apalis TK1 2GB V1.1A, Serial# 02864476
You are right, if I run ls it is missing:
Apalis TK1 # ls mmc 0:2 /boot
<DIR> 4096 .
<DIR> 4096 ..
5472144 uImage
448890 u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin
<DIR> 4096 extlinux
However if I use ums 0 mmc 0 there is extlinux/, tegra124-apalis-eval.dtb, u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin and uImage?
This could be due to one of them many known ext driver issues in U-Boot. But as we do not usually recommend directly booting off such an ext partition we have not much further experience with it. One thing you could try is updating to our lastest V2.7 beta 1 BSP featuring U-Boot 2016.11 supposedly having quite some such ext driver bugs resolved.
@marcel.tx Ok, good to know. Thanks. Is this behaviour reproducable or random?
BTW: The partition offset ~ blkstart is output when running (here: 40960s in hex a000, 12328960 in hex bc2000)

Meanwhile I switched to Apalis Linux Image v2.7Beta1. Here some update script variant:
