If there is _nothing_ on the flash, you will have to hold the boot button down every time you power on or reset the system, which will probably get old after a while. :) If you're running from the SD card, basically all you need in the on-board eMMC flash is the boot loader code that looks to see if an SD card is present and then switches to the uboot installed on the SD card to continue booting. I would recommend using any of the official Angstrom images, which I know have the proper boot code to "chain-load" off of the SD card. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
