But is this not exactly the purpose of the "bmode" command ? Anyway, at
next power-on, the board boots again from SPI-NOR. There should be
indication here how to erase the SPI Flash

You do not need it. This is the general instruction to build any board
in u-boot, and u-boot.imx is automatically generated for i.MX6 boards.

This can be wrong if the Linux PC uses /dev/mmcblk* instead of /dev/sXx
