Flashing the image straight into emmc will overwrite the startfiles. Using riff to flash the image at an offset after the startfiles should work.

Hi Benn,

Thank you for your support.

There are a couple of items that can be additionally specified in the
weblink.

a. The make command should include "TARGET_PRODUCT=snowball", else it
gives error when compiling again. Clearly engineers copy paste the
commands :)
b. The link where LAMC tools, can be picked up, till the point there is
a release of LAMC availiable. I picked it up from:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-image-tools/linaro-image-tools/trunk/revision/489?start_revid=489
c. Under the heading "Get the graphics libraries", the link to is
wrongly given. Can you please update this appropriately. I think this
error would have been there for sometime.

Thanks and Regards,
Venkat.
