I am using this script for the imx6sololiteevk 
(freescale_imx6sololiteevk_defconfig)
platform which does not refer to this script.

Actually, imx28evk is referring to 
./board/freescale/imx28evk/create-boot-sd.sh whereas
imx6sabre is referring to ./board/freescale/create-boot-sd.sh which has 
a different partition
layout.

Thanks,

Georges
