In the kernel booting time, the CPU reads the contents of flash memory and copies those to the RAM.
It only uses spi hardware and has no need to use Linux spi (software) driver.

Bootlodaer works correctly. It's copies the image (vmlinux and rootfs) to the RAM and jumps to the kernel. Linux kernel doesn't search MTD partitions and it's fail.
This is "true" log for the rocketboards linux (kernel 3.10.31-ltsi-02998).
