Yes. If you program u-boot.imx to offset 0x400, it will boot.

I just did so as shown below.

I started by placing SW1 in the 01 position (boot to USB), and used imx_usb to dowload u-boot.imx:

 MX6QSABRELITE U-Boot>  dhcp 10800000 192.168.0.112:u-boot.imx

But above you used the network to load u-boot.imx. With imx_usb you loaded and booted an image via USB first, I assume.

Yeah. USB to execute U-Boot, then Ethernet to get a pristine image into RAM for programming.

I'd love to get USB support for MX6Q into U-Boot, but that's another project...
