Is there anyway to start uboot on a Sabre Lite board (or other board) from a USB thumb drive?
Is this even possible?
Solved! Go to Solution.
From the mx6 reference manual:
"The i.MX 6Series boot ROM supports the following boot devices:
NOR Flash
NAND Flash
OneNAND Flash
SD/MMC
Serial ATA (SATA) HDD
Serial ROM devices"
,so you you cannot boot directly from a USB thumb.
What you can do is to boot from one of the supported medium and then boot the kernel from a USB thumb.
Mainline U-boot does support loading a kernel from a USB thumb.

Hello Fabio,
Can you just elaborate on mainline u-boot you are talking about? I was in need of little more info on the same.
The info i mean to say is the path for the source or the download option. Anything else that's required to know.
