Hello,

I have done my previous tests on master (morty doesn't support imx6ull).

So if have tested rocko and change this file:
meta-freescale/conf/machine/imx6ullevk.conf. I have removed the
following lines:
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_u-boot = "u-boot-imx"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/bootloader = "u-boot-imx"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-imx"

It seems that imx-base.inc let chose bitbake u-boot-fslc and linux-fslc-imx.
I have u-boot-fslc-v2017.09+gitAUTOINC+a6a15fedd1-r0 and
linux-fslc-imx-4.1-2.0.x+gitAUTOINC+6c1ad49339-r0 in my buildstats. So
now it's using u-boot-fslc and linux-fslc-imx.

The download is slow too, but without connection errors. After several
hours, the kernel sources are downloaded.

The build is successful, but boot sucks. U-boot boots correctly, but not
linux. I have a reboot without any kernel trace near the end of the
boot, like that:

I have no idea why. There is no kernel crash trace so it's perhaps
something like the watchdog.
