The building steps you've taken are fine. The error message only states
that it won't execute automatically e.g. on QEmu because you've
configured the run-tool of Genode to produce an u-boot image only. In
your case that image can be found in 'var/run/tz_vmm/uImage' within your
build directory. You can load it to your target via network or sd-card.

Nevertheless, the tz_vmm example you've build is probably not what you
intended to do, when you say "i need to deploy the vmm demo on
the i.MX53 quick start board". If you mean the demo shown in the video
that is part of the trustzone article on genode.org, then you need to
build something else. In that case you might take the i.MX53_tablet_demo
branch from the very same repo you've referenced, and build:

  make run/vmm

But be warned: that demo is outdated with respect to the current
mainline Genode repository. Moreover, the i.MX53 QSB platform misses a
corresponding input driver to reproduce that demo.

If you just want to showcase that TrustZone is working on top of the
i.MX53 QSB without showing fancy demo effects like switching between
native Genode and Android etc., the run script you've chosen is the
right starting point. Nevertheless, in that case I propose to use the
master branch of Genode's mainline repository instead of that old one
you've referenced.

Best regards
Stefan
