Built the images from Image Build

Configure SD

Create Falcon partition and Insert the SD on host

$ cd /path/to/
$ dd if=SPL of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=1
$ dd if=u-boot-dtb.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1k seek=69
$ git clone https://github.com/openedev/rootfs-imx6q
$ cp -rf rootfs-imx6q/* /media/jagan/rootfs
$ cp /path/to/linux-next/arch/arm/boot/uImage /media/jagan/rootfs
$ cp arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-icore.dtb /media/jagan/rootfs
$ sync && sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0*

Configure Falcon

Insert the SD and power-on the board.
