-"make mx28evk_nand_config" - store enviroment variables into NAND flash
-
-Choose the target accordingly.
-
-Note: The mx28evk board does not come with a NAND flash populated from the
-factory. It comes with an empty slot (U23), which allows the insertion of a
-48-pin TSOP flash device.

-Insert the SD card in slot 0, power up the board and U-boot will boot.
