You can't jump directly into uImages. It would work with a zImage, but
how do you get your zImage from the sd card without the help of the
bootloader? Well, you could link barebox and a zImage together, but then
you'll realize that the internal ROM code is quite slow when reading
data from SD cards (unless there are ways to tweak this, I don't know)

What are your goals trying this?
