This looks like a misconception to me. Regarding the uImage: You don't
have to copy it to the SD card. It must be merged into Genodes single
boot-image. This is done by the 'tz_vmm' run-script automatically. But
the vanilla run script is configured to download and use our mainline
image. So, you have to provide your image to the run script and prevent
the run script from assuming that our mainline image is in use.
Hence, do the following:

cp $LINUX_BUILD_DIR/*/uImage $GENODE_BUILD_DIR/bin/linux
# open $GENODE_DIR/repos/os/run/tz_vmm.run for editing
# comment out "exec >& /dev/null wget -O bin/linux.md5 $linux_uri.md5"
# comment out "exec md5sum -c linux.md5"
cd $GENODE_BUILD_DIR
# open etc/build.conf make sure that RUN_OPT is
# set to "--include boot_dir/hw --include image/uboot"
make run/tz_vmm
cp var/run/tz_vmm/uImage $SD_CARD_MNT

Now you're using your own Linux with our mainline Initrd. The "comment
out" stuff ensures that the tz_vmm script doesn't check your Linux
against our Linux MD5-checksum. If you want to use your own Initrd,
before doing 'make', additionally do:

cp initrd.gz $GENODE_BUILD_DIR/bin/initrd.gz
# open $GENODE_DIR/repos/os/run/tz_vmm.run for editing
# comment out "exec >& /dev/null wget -O bin/initrd.gz.md5 $init_uri.md5"
# comment out "exec md5sum -c initrd.gz.md5"

You don't have to add this to the specs.conf as it is added
automatically by '$GENODE_DIR/repos/base-hw/mk/spec-hw_imx53_qsb_tz.mk'
which gets included because 'hw_imx53_qsb_tz' spec is set.

Creating a uImage is done automatically on 'make run/tz_vmm' if you have
the '--include image/uboot' in your 'RUN_OPT' in 'etc/build.conf' as I
mentioned above. The uImage can then be found in
'$GENODE_BUILD_DIR/var/run/tz_vmm'.

Please have a try on that and let me know the results. If you have
further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers,
Martin
