Also the chip you labeled eMMC is the SoC. I think the eMMC is a SanDisk chip, not a Freescale chip
Thanks for the heat shield tip, I will know for next time, actually i still have some partial heat shields left so maybe I will try it.

I was expecting a Sandisk chip but there's isn't one under any of the shields so I thought probably this one.....I'll post a photo of the board so all the chips are visible.
