bitbake barebox -> will build barebox

set IMAGE_BOOTLOADER = "barebox" in your local.conf and you will get
barebox in the SDCard image when you build it.

If you create your overlay to support your board, you can simply add a
barebox_2012.02.0.bbappend and add your patch & defconfig from there

BTW : I plan to update barebox support in meta-fsl-arm in the coming
weeks.

Best regards
