Hi Ananth,

as this question is more Mini6410 related than about the buildsystem PTXdist 
please use the oselas@community.pengutronix.de mailing list instead.

No, it does not work in this way.

Writing the super-boot partially at specific sectors on the SD card, where the 
CPU-built-in ROM code expect it. If you want, I can send you the Samsung 
documentation that describes how to write specific sectors on the SD card to 
make it boot.

Yes it is part in our Mini6410-BSP. But currently only for the u-boot 
bootloader instead of the superboot. And the BSP documentation describes how 
to prepare an SD card and use it to boot the Mini6410.

Regards,
Juergen
