Yes, correct.

The imxcfg file is the way to go. Historically we assembled the flash
header as struct types in C, but that turned out to be too inflexible.

Yeah, this is done because the dmo board needs the SDRAM calibration
functions to setup SDRAM. You can ignore this if you do not have a
good reason to setup the SDRAM in code.
