If you are interested, I wrote a U-boot script for the Foundation Model [1]. I 
think it could be easily adapted for QEMU.
IIRC, in your configuration, files are already loaded in memory. So you would 
not be able to find out the size easily from U-boot. However, you could generate 
the u-boot script everytime before booting QEMU. So the size match your Image.
Alternatively, you can use tftp to download your images (this may be your 
preferred way for the BB-X15). When you do that, U-boot will store the size of 
the file download in hex in $filesize. I vaguely remember some issue with this 
variable because, depending on your U-boot configuration, the variable value or 
may not start 0x.

This would be a good start. Feel free to ask any question if you have any doubt 
on the code.
I would recommend to use the branch staging for all the investigations.
