dd if=$< of=$@ seek=2I wonder why we need this in u-boot code and to set this rule in the main Makefile. You can always do this after generating u-boot.
Older U-Boot (from FreeScale) made an .imx image with 1KB padding which I could flash directly into the NAND at offset 0. Now I had to do manually that dd-magic (before I put it in Makefile) because openocd doesn't allow to flash at offset 0x400 (it demands write-page alignment).
The rules here are to generate the u-boot.imx. Then the same image can be stored at different addresses. Depending on the i.MX SOC, ofssets can be different (MX5 / MX6 have different offsets for NOR / NAND / oneNAND).
I prefer a build system which generates an image ready for flashing but perhaps I have to do that outside of U-Boot, somehow.
