Installing barebox for karo-tx53 in nand-flash

[Dr. Patrick Langfeld]

Thanks Sascha,
building barebox results in two .bin files: barebox.bin and 
zbarebox.bin.
Is zbarebox.bin a compressed version of barebox.bin?
Which one should I use for flashing the tx53 nand-flash?

My boot sources are nand-flash (thats where u-boot is at the moment) 
(and SD-card for testing).

I tried to flash zbarebox.bin to nand-flash. It started but with error
nand: NAND type unknown, ec,f1
nand: No NAND device found (-19)!
imx_nand imx_nand0: probe failed: No such device or address
malloc space: 0x85f00000 -> 0x87efffff (size 32 MiB)
Using environment in NAND
Open /dev/env0 No such file or directory
..

Does barebox already support the FirmwareConfigurationBlock? I heard 
from Mathias Fend that he manually had to add a FCB blob before the 
barebox binary when writing barebox to flash in an older barebox 
version.

Best regards
  Patrick
