Yes I successfully got the OMAP (beagleboard) to boot from the SD card. I basically just followed the instructions on the google pages. Here:
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/HowToGetAngstromRunning http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners The sd card is formatted with two partitions (FAT32, ext3). The Fat32 is needed because that's what the boot ROM knows how to read. Then the u-boot and uImage or located in the FAT32 partition and the second partition on the SD card is my rootfs. Anyways follow that guide above and its not hard. I now have angstrom running with the enlightment windows manager.

Hi Josh, Are you successfully able to boot the OMAP based board from SD card? Is the SD card formatted with any file system? How are you loading first stage loader and kernel image in SD card?

Has anybody successfully gotten the DM6446 to boot from an SD card? Is it even possible? I've been playing with the OMAP chips lately where their boot ROM can load in a signed first stage loader from the SD card (FAT32 partition), then load in uImage from the SD and finally rootfs. Can the same be done for the 6446? Thanks, Josh
