Genode on i.MX6 (eMMC Flash)

Hi Stefan,

I've tried using the uboot plugin (RUN_OPT += --include image/uboot). I've
been able to generate a uImage successfully. When I tried to flash it on to
the board, it stops with following log (was observed in TeraTerm while
using the MfgTool):

Also, I'm using the Android RAMDisk Image. Would that be a potential cause
for the problem? I've used the following XML script to flash the image on
to the board (UCL file for MfgTool):

<UCL>
<CFG>

<CMD state="Updater" type="push" body="$ echo Update Complete!">Done</CMD>
</LIST>
</UCL>

The script stops executing at "Jumping to OS image". Can you give me any
leads as to where I'm going wrong?

Note: I've generated the "mmc_img" file using the "create_uboot" tool
provided in the genode tools.
