No. The current release of u-boot-boundary is 2013.07:
	http://boundarydevices.com/u-boot-2013-07-release/

The sources are in our Github repository (production branch is
what we're currently shipping with boards);
	https://github.com/boundarydevices/u-boot-imx6/tree/production

We try to keep this in-line with true main-line U-Boot, but use
it as a staging area so we can be a bit more responsive to customer
needs. The primary deltas at this point are additional boards
(nit6xlite is not yet in main-line), support for additional
displays, and support for custom boards.

I have to admit that I've never looked at u-boot-fslc. I thought it was
only used for PPC boards.

I'll take a look at that when I have some more time to spend.
