Can OMAP4470 memory be loaded with xloader and bootloader without using SD card (first time flashing)?

Hi Maggie,

You can try using usbboot, Take a look at this guide : http://jcrigby.blogspot.com/2012/07/usb-booting-panda-board.html

Hope it can help you

Regards,

Boyko

I tried building and running fastboot via './usbboot -f'  it, it actually has a lot of options.
However - I am getting two different errors in my 2 boards when I do fastboot.

[Board with OMAP4470]

Results to an 'unexpected 2ndstage response'.

Fastboot seem finished, but nothing happens to the device, does not boot-up, no instructions or anything, I mean, like "what's next?" and so on..

Anyone know what I'm missing?
I just probably need to know, what is the exact usbboot command phrase to load the x-loader, bootloader and kernel of OMAP44XX for PandaBoard?

Thank you very much.
