Thanks for testing!

They're adapted from the SolidRun u-boot-imx6 tree, but I don't think recent updates from SolidRun's branch have been applied. It is a bit difficult, as their version is based on 2013.10-rc4, while Debian is following upstream with 2014.04 and 2014.07-rc4. But yes, 2014.07-rc4 appears to include support for SPL on imx6, although the only board using it is gw_ventana. It might be feasible to re-work the cubox-i patches to use the upstream support, and eventually get the patches upstream. live well, vagrant
