Ok just to report back that the best way for testing Boot0/1 is for sure CT_NandBoot app. The app is perfect (comes from phelum, also active here), but the boot1 compilation process is a bit bumpy, since we also need to integrate our sys_config.fex into it. Anyway, if someone is interested, post back here or send me an e-mail. I've already made a small how-to, based on A20 SDK files. I can also verify that low level drivers are compilable (drv_de.drv, drv_hdmi...).
This still doesn't solve my issue with LiveSuit, as I would like to be able to make the complete image (with kernel and RFS), but currently I'm quite far from that (LiveSuit seems very unreliable to me). So all the tips and comments regarding LiveSuit are welcome! Cheers!
