Hello Ian,

I tried to follow your suggestion, but realized that there might be
a significant difference between Wandboard and Utilite: Utilite does
not read u-boot from disk. Instead, it holds u-boot as 'firmware' in
a flash module.
Don't know why I had not realized this earlier, but anyway, I guess
if I had compiled it before, I would have noticed. So far I had played
around with pre-built Wandboard images...
What this means is that the current crochet scripts will fail because
the u-boot compilation for cm-fx6 will not output a u-boot.imx file and
is probably not needed anyway.
What I will try next is make a copy of crochet's boards/Wandboard to
boards/Utilite and try to adapt the setup.sh script.
Questions:
Are there requirements that u-boot must meet in order to boot ubldr? If
so, I'll have to look into rebuilding u-boot plus flashing that.

Martin
