images - files that can be loaded directly onto the Stargate
  bootldr    - the bootloader image - This bootloader is derived from handhelds 
               build 2.21.13 and assumes a PXA architecture. It cannot be loaded 
               from a release 6 or earlier boot loader because the magic numbers 
               do not match. If you have an older boot loader you must load the 
               release 7 boot loader through JTag the first time.
