I always use l-m-c with --mmc, never --image_file.  Will have a try later.

Honestly, we are still far away from a bootable system.  Besides above
two bug fixes, we have tot address the following things to get a
bootable mx51evk headless.

- Correct the default mx51evk u-boot env to mmc boot
I posted the patch on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/u-boot-linaro/+bug/655461/comments/10

- Linaro mx51evk kernel has no mmc driver available yet.
I applied patches sent out by Zhu Richard on linux-arm (still under review)

- mii_bus fails to register on imx51
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+bug/655641)
Remove CONFIG_FIXED_PHY can work around the issue

- mx51evk booting stops at mountall
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+bug/659799)
The following supports need to be added to fix the problem.

CONFIG_TMPFS
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT

- No serial console login is available.
I was told to fix the problem by change line #15 in
/bin/auto-serial-console as below.
tty[A-Z]* )    -->  tty[a-zA-Z]* )

And there are some issues I'm still trying to confirm:

- The root UUID seems not working for me, and I have to use
root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 in kernel cmdline.
- System gets reboot after running (idle) for ~40 minutes.
