I'll help out and test your layer first, and let you know. It's going to take me a while to get used to this new board. I always find that I end up spending more than 2 to 3 months, just getting to know each platform to a good level, the last two ones being the Gumstix TI OMAP 3530 and the Xilinx ML507. I'm going to brace myself, its going to be a deep dive I think! :-)

Adrian Alonso's meta-xilinx layer had some *.bbclass files, that invoked the Xilinx tools to create the ace image files, so perhaps that could be modified to automate the process or getting the final BOOT.BIN file.

Best regards,
