Using Barebox instead of x-Loader and U-boot on Beagleboar​d-xm

I'm looking into exchanging my current setup of X-Loader -> U-Boot for
a streamlined Barebox implimentation on my Beagleboard-xm. I'm no
guru at the booting process (as long as it gets to the kernel I'm
usually fine with it) but my current application needs a speedy boot
and I need to venture out of my comfort zone. I had heard that it
should be fairly easy to replace the X-Loader -> U-Boot by using
omap3530_beagle_per_uart_defconfig, which would give me the same
fuctionality as x-loader, and get rid of the 3rd stage bootloader
(currently u-boot) entirely. My main question is there any
configuring of the ROM needed to be done, and if so how would I go
about the reconfiguration? I'm just use to letting it take care of
itself and finding the MLO file.

Many thanks in advance!

you cannot "configure" the ROM other than changing the SYSBOOT pins.
