Looks very interesting! I was thinking of trying something like this
after ELC but unfortunately real work got the better of me.

This Configuration Header stuff looks very similar to what TI's
Davinci-chips use. They call it AIS but from a short dive into
omap-u-boot-utils it is very similar, encoded commands to mask ROM
code to initialize HW and load image(s).

Now I need to find some time to do this with the Beagle.

This may be a stupid question but is the CH format documented somewhere?

Yep, I had blogged about it some time back:

You can find more about CH and references there, and yes, Beagle is one of the first platforms I had working :)
