GoFlexHome not booting from disk

I got my U-Boot from the doozan list - https://forum.doozan.com/list.php?3.
It is one which includes the U-Boot API.

By goflexhome_defconfig do you mean this?

https://github.com/sbabic/u-boot-imx/blob/master/configs/goflexhome_defconfig

I've never heard of it and don't know how it works.

Are there any instructions?
