Don't worry, it's not spamming.  Exact messages are often more useful than
short (and possibly incorrect) interpretations of them.

Versions 0.1.x don't support cards without primary firmware.  Use the CVS
version from the HEAD (development) branch.

This indicates missing primary firmware.

also fixed in the CVS version.

The rest are warnings resulting from missing primary firmware.

Get the CVS version for now.  I hope that 0.2.0 will be released soon.
