Re: [Gumstix-users] Verdex - Boot from USB

Speaking from hindsight I would get the Verdex-XL6P (the higher speed
version) it is only $10 more.

Subject: [Gumstix-users] Verdex - Boot from USB


I have plan on getting the following configuration Verdex MX4-BT +
Breakout-VX
And I have a couple of questions -please help me out I'm a newby at embedded
systems:
a) Can I use the breakout-vx to connect the Verdex to my PC using a UART TTL
serial connection??
b) I know that using Bluetooth as a serial connection might be a faster is
also possible and easy?
c) 16 MB of On Board Flash doesn't sound like much so I was think of having
it boot from a spare 256 USB Flash Drive I have laying around, can I set up
uBoot to do this automatically - I know the verdex has USB Host signals so
it technically is posible - can you help me do it?

All these questions come from the fact that I'm trying to design a daughter
board for the 24 flex-ribbon connector. The same GPIOs the are exposed for
the serial port (GPIO 42, 43, 44, 45 )on the 60 pin connector are present on
the 24 pin connector - plus the USB Host lines are there too.

Best regards,
Peter Falken
