The variables above translates roughly into the following commands used to boot the BeagleBone Black:
load mmc 1:2 0x80F80000 /boot/am335x-boneblack.dtb load mmc 1:2 0x80007fc0 /boot/uImage setenv bootargs console=ttyO0,115200n8 ${optargs} root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait bootm 0x80007fc0 - 0x80F80000
