I see a lot of reference to the ability for Overo to boot from the SD Card. I have a Verdex with the Net-vx with the Compact Flash. Can I boot from the CF? |

Hi Michael, Yes, it is possible but can take some work depending on which expansion boards you are using. For boards that have the compact flash card attached to the first socket of the mmc interface on the PXA chip, you should be able to read the card directly from u-boot. On the netcf-vx, I think the SMC91C111 chip shares the MMC card interfaces with the compact flash card so you might need to adjust u-boot to probe the second socket instead. For example, in this post I give a rather hacky fix I made to u-boot to get a connex board to boot from a CF attached to a compact flash card: http://old.nabble.com/Re:-Wifistix-CF-Boot-Problems-to29176512.html#a29176512 HTH, Ash On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 3:09 PM, Michael Caughey <mi...@ca...> wrote: > I see a lot of reference to the ability for Overo to boot from the SD > Card.
