Hi, You need to perform several steps 1/ Bootloader: Somebody needs to port 'u-boot' (or other bootloader) to your custom hardware. What needs changing depends on how different the hardware is from the reference platform. You will almost certainly need a JTAG probe to FLASH the bootloader. 2/ Kernel: The kernel needs porting to your custom hardware. As with the bootloader, hardware differences between your hardware and the EVM needs to be catered for. The bootloader should be able to TFTP the kernel from a suitable server and initially the kernel can use an NFS based root filesystem whilst the kernel is developed. 3/ Filesytem development: You need to build a root filesystem that fits in FLASH. There are tools to do this (from DevRocket from MontaVista, LTIB - Open Source or 'buildroot' to name a few) or you can 'hack' at the default NFS filesystem with 'rm' till it fits. The easiest way to FLASH the root filesystem is to boot the system using NFS and mount & FLASH the partition from there.
