Frieder,

Ok, I finally understand. Using 'imx_usb <file>' which is what I was
doing is not the same as loading it via the conf file and was why it
was looking for a header.

So now that I'm using the imx_usb.conf files fully instead It's
loading u-boot.itb and jumping but unfortunately I'm still not quite
there.

Here's what I'm seeing:

U-Boot SPL 2020.01-00029-g6529a03-dirty (Apr 09 2020 - 13:02:21 -0700)
Normal Boot
Trying to boot from USB SDP
SDP: initialize...
SDP: handle requests...
Downloading file of size 584020 to 0x40200000... done
Jumping to header at 0x40200000
Header Tag is not an IMX image

Is the 'Header Tag' message normal? From adding some debugging it
appears to matching the dts name in my board_fit_config_name_match and
parsing the FIT image, loading the ATF and jumping but then I get
nothing. What would I expect at this point and do you have any
troubleshooting tips?

Thanks,

Tim
