mx6sabreauto has been converted to SPL, so the generated binaries are
SPL and u-boot.img.

You can flash them into the SD card like this:

- Flash the SPL binary into the SD card:

$ sudo dd if=SPL of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1 && sync

- Flash the u-boot.img binary into the SD card:

$ sudo dd if=u-boot.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=69 && sync

This is described in board/freescale/mx6sabreauto/README.

You can also load SPL and u-boot.img via imx_usb_loader tool. Make
sure you use their latest code and follow doc/README.sdp.
