The case has been partly solved now. I am able to boot from NAND and NOR but I cannot
access the MMC. Reason for the kernel messages ...(driver?) above was a missing device
"mxc_nand" in the kernel parms for mtdparts:

    mtdparts=physmap-flash.0:256k(barebox)ro,128k(bareboxenv),2M(kernel),-(root); \
    mxc_nand:256k(barebox)ro,128k(bareboxenv),2M(kernel),-(root)

However, I still cannot access the mmc from barebox. It would be enough to be able to
read the mmc. I want to be able to store kernel or rootfs image updates on the mmc
and flash them to either NAND or NOR after reboot to enable remote update services.

Question: "How can I access the MMC from barebox (read only may be sufficient)

Regards, Peter
