I have a question about x-loader. Using the beagleboard validation x-loader from http://gitorious.org/beagleboard-validation I can only get it to work if its flashed to NAND. If i serial boot using this there is not input. Once this is flashed to NAND it works fine. In order to boot serial and get a ukermit prompt for u-boot, i have to use the omap-zoom source for x-loader using a make omap3430labradordownload_config. is there anyway to configure the validation x-loader to work the same way as the omap-zoom source?
Ryan,
Although the beagleboard hardware is capable of booting from NAND, MMC, UART, and USB, the current software only supports NAND and MMC.
The link below goes to the Wiki article related to the HW/SW setup for beagleboard.

It may help to create a post to the beagleboard community forum and make an inquiry into the current state of UART boot support.
