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.

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).

This will avoid some conflicts when doing a git rebase or merge,
specially when adding support to a new device.

The image builder does not bundle sub-directories within $(KERNEL_BUILD_DIR),
therfore the intermediate "ventana-uImage.boot" directory is not shipped,
leading to failures with "make image" later on.
To circumvent the issue, store the intermediate boot files as tar archive
instead of putting them into a directory to ensure that they end up in the
final image builder tarball. Fixes FS#102

It is used by a core build template, so the variable should be
initialized and added to DEVICE_VARS in the core.
Same for DEVICE_DTS_DIR

In order to create a bootable block storage device, both bootfs and rootfs
tarballs are required. However, our current scheme does not export a bootfs
tarball so add the packaging of it here.

Change the name of the .ubi produced to strip out the word 'factory'. This is
mainly due to the fact that there is no difference between the Ventana 'factory'
image vs the standard image.
Name changes from:
openwrt-imx6-ventana-squashfs.nand-factory_<size>.ubi to
openwrt-imx6-ventana-squashfs-nand_<size>.ubi

Replace the ventana ubi images from a single rootfs volume containing the
rootfs as well as kernel+dtbs in the boot/ subdir to a multi-volume ubi
containing kernel+dtbs+bootscript in 'root' ubifs volume, rootfs in 'rootfs'
squasfs volume, and rootfs_data an empty ubifs volume.
At the same time move ventana image creation over to using the new
TARGET_DEVICE syntax as a cleanup.
Additionally removed FIT image creation as it is recommended that this be
done manually to produce signed FIT images if needed.
Note that a bootscript is needed for Ventana to change its default mtdparts
to rename the 2nd partition from 'rootfs' to 'ubi'. This is because there
are patches in OpenWrt kernels that try to auto-attach and auto-mount and these
get in the way if the mtd partition is named 'rootfs'.

In order to support both normal images and initramfs, ensure that each
target sets KERNELNAME properly so that the generic kernel building code
can copy the corresponding files over $(KDIR) with the appropriate
extension. Update the various paths to the kernel and wrapper images
from $(LINUX_DIR)/arch/$(ARCH)/boot/$(foo) to $(KDIR)/$(foo).
