Thanks Otavio,

If so, it will feel like Christmas!

After pulling all kinda N00b stuff, I finally got a build to complete
for 'nitrogen6x', but it failed with the following errors

This brings up a couple of questions.

What boot script? I think I saw a reference to one that we placed
in our U-Boot tree in one of your patches, but I'll need to spend some
more time with that.

Why two partitions? It seems that unless a RAM disk is used, a
single partition should suffice. The same is true of SABRE Lite,
but I just noticed that the Freescale default environment only
supports FAT for some reason :(.

It's been a long day. I'll look at this some more tomorrow.

Regards,


Eric
