Thanks for that.
I will send instructions shortly (probably in few days) because do have some
things to mention on how to use that board with generated files.
Also note I mentioned another prerequisite:
----------->8----------
u-boot: 2015.07 - fix creation of .config
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/502558/
----------->8----------
without which snps_axs103_defconfig will fail to build U-Boot.
I'm wondering if you saw my recent comments for that patch, probably we may
want to revisit it sometime soon.
