as for kubrick, I'm fiddling with it right now... I'm searching for the tools.

I used the standard linux shortcut ctrl+alt+F2 to access the root console.

still searching for the tool to send a uboot to the kindle mfgtools if I understood

I'm trying, but with difficulties, to understand this
Eventually you will have to transfer the main filesystem image file, first from pc to kindle USB storage, and then from USB storage to mmc0blk1
That is two copy operations, either of which might have errors (making the filesystem image unusable).
And you can't use fastboot to do the transfer - the main filesystem image is too big for it to handle.

Hence, an x86 (pc to USB storage) and an arm (USB storage to mmc0blk1) versions of the binaries.

Maybe.

You might be looking for the imx_?something? binary that talks to the SOC's built-in firmware (since at this point, you don't have a u-boot to talk to)

If it isn't in the Kubrick toolset, then search this forum for it.
It is a special tool for bootstraping an imx6 system using only its internal rom and ram.
It also contains the code to program the dynamic ram interface and start the external dynamic ram (something usually done by u-boot, but you don't have a u-boot yet).

Read the copycmp.sh script.
Most of what passes for user documentation is in the comments.

As for reading the scripting commands themselves . . . .
I just tried and it seemed obscure to me, and I wrote it.
