Thanks a lot Gary I figured it out. I was building u-boot from source, and didn't realize there is a 2015 release now, mine was 2014. Once the script launched, it loaded everything perfectly fine.

Actually the approach we recommend is to leave the U-Boot in NOR, then it loads the kernel from any media you want (USB, MMC, SATA or even TFTP). Please flash the following U-Boot into NOR: https://boundarydevices.com/compiling-latest-u-boot-for-i-mx6-2015-edition/ > Currently I am xfering the fido zImage via tftp, and I am trying to get the > bootz command to load it, but it hangs up on “Starting kernel ...” > > I am not sure if I didn’t build this right, or what exactly is going on, but > I’m stuck and can’t figure this out. The fido branch is using a 3.14 kernel which means that it needs a device tree blob otherwise the kernel won't boot. But once you'll flash the U-Boot provided in the link above, you won't have to worry about since it will load a script (6x_bootscript), already present in the sdcard image you generated, that will take care of loading all the necessary binaries to boot.
