    Hi Kalsi,

    I tried ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-05.01.00.11 with 8GB Micro SDHC card and my AM335x TI EVM boot successful, the pre-built linux images fit fine inside this SD card.

    For rootfs partition, we have 7GB space, from which 4.8GB is free. zImage is 4MB, vmlinux is 14.5MB.

    This is the log from create-sdcard.sh script:

    This is the boot up log:

    Thanks Pavel,

    I have confirmed that the Windows SD Card Image is slightly above 8GB. Therefore, it would need a larger card. I've asked why the size increase and am waiting on a response.

    In the mean time, using the SD Card create script from Linux should work as Pavel recommended.
