    pk,

     

       The boot mode are changed by the value of the boot switches on the OMAP-L138 board. Chapter 2 of the User Guide that is supplied with the EVM board gives you a very good summary of the board and well as a pictural presentation of where the boot DIP switch is located. You can download from LogicPD. 

     

      The bootsettings of the OMAP-L138 can be found in the OMAP-L1x Bootload Application Report. You should be able to use the two of these documents to switch the boot mode of the board to the setting of your preference.

    You can also try booting from TFTP if you have a server setup. The SDK documentation and accompanying scripts explain how to do this.

    Drew,

    Is it possible to boot from flash drive(USB pen drive) if SD card is not available. If yes, what is the name of file that is to be loaded into usb pen drive?

    mahesh,

    Are you trying to change the boot device for the board or change the boot device for Linux file system? Changing the boot file system for Linux is not related to board switches. It is controlled by one of the bootloaders, U-Boot.

    If you just want to boot into Linux, you might be able to make recreate the original SD Card. My experience is with the OMAP-L138 EMM and it's relatively easy to create a SD Card with a Linux file system. You will need a Linux host.

    If you are trying to get a Linux file system running, you might want to repost in the Embedded Sofware/Linux.
