Built-in u-boot requires SPL (secondary program loader) to be present on the SD-card regardless of the image type which will be loaded.
SPL is generated by the u-boot-mx6cuboxi package which is preselected by the target device and can be found in bin/u-boot-mx6cuboxi directory.
Flashing the SPL:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M count=4
dd if=bin/targets/imx6/generic/u-boot-mx6cuboxi/SPL of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1K seek=1
Preparing the firmware on the SD-card:
(echo o; echo n; echo p; echo 1; echo ''; echo ''; echo w) | fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
tar -xzf bin/targets/imx6/generic/openwrt-imx6-device-cubox-i-rootfs.tar.gz -C /mnt/
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
cp bin/targets/imx6/generic/{*-uImage,*.dtb,*.scr} /mnt/boot/
Generated u-boot.img needs to be placed on the first partition:
cp bin/targets/imx6/generic/u-boot-mx6cuboxi/u-boot.img /mnt/
To boot from the SD card:
Boot script which sets mmc/dtb parameters and boots the board is automatically sourced.
If this does not work for any reason:
mmc dev 0; load mmc 0:1 $scriptaddr boot/boot.scr; source $scriptaddr
Currently imx6dl-cubox-i.dtb (Dual Lite) and imx6q-cubox-i.dtb (Quad) device trees are available.
Tested on i4Pro, MMC, USB (+ HiD), HDMI and ethernet ports are working.
Wireless and bluetooth are broken ATM. According to SolidRun forums, BCM4329/BCM4330 firmware is used which works fine on older kernels.

THIN_ARCHIVES option is enabled by default in the kernel configuration
and no one target config disables it. So enable it by default and remove
this symbol from target specific configs to keep them light.

New FUTEX_PI configuration symbol enabled if FUTEX and RT_MUTEX symbols
are enabled. Both of these symbols are enabled by default in the

When this target got updated to 4.14, this patch got removed to
re-evaluate if it was still needed.
Extensive testing now shows this issue is still present.
Let's re-add the patch to fix it for now.
As the uart bus is very low bandwidth .. performance impact is negligible.
Boot log:
[ 22.513051] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
[ 22.522721] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.
As a sidenote:
The patch mentiones an issue with RS485, but the bootlog
errors above were recorded with the uart ports in standard RS232 mode.
Compile/Run-tested on imx6/GW5200

Calling nand_do_upgrade() from platform_pre_upgrade() was deprecated
with 30f61a34b4 ("base-files: always use staged sysupgrade").
Update the platform upgrade code to use platform_do_upgrade() for NAND
images as well.

Use "$(DTS_DIR)", defined at include/image.mk, instead of
"$(LINUX_DIR)/arch/$(LINUX_KARCH)/boot/dts" in order to generalize and
allow a better Device/* device-tree parameterization (i.e. DEVICE_DTS_DIR
and DTS_DIR).

Fixes these prints on boot:
[ 13.785600] imx-uart 2020000.serial: DMA transaction error.

Based on following upstream patch by Tim Harvey (Gateworks):
80a01b6582
TX complete DMA messages are getting missed.
This is also currently an issue in mainline.
For now we will disable DMA in serial/imx.c.
This resolves an issue encountered with RS485 transmit.

The IMX6 PCIe host controller does not fire legacy interrupts if MSI is
enabled. A patch is being worked on to enable MSI at runtime only when
it is needed but meanwhile this patch will disable MSI for the imx6 kernel.
This fixes the no interrupt issue on cards/drivers that use legacy interrupts
such as ath9k.
