Hi Everyone,

I have a board that has been developed using the Beaglebone Black as a 
reference design. 
We are trying to figure out a way to do mass Flashing/Testing of the boards 
in a production environment. 

The boards will be coming from our manufacturer with absolutely nothing on 
the internal flash or EEPROM.
I'd like to devise a way to be able to plug multiple boards boards into a 
jig (i.e. a USB hub), and have them flash and go through some initial test 
scripts to test out the hardware functionality.

My hope was that the board would be able to boot off of USB0 via a USB hard 
drive, flash or NFS drive with the boot partition and boot files also 
located on the drive. From what I've read, I understand, there is no 
possible way of doing this and that a boot partition must exist on an SD 
card or the on-board flash in order to boot from NFS, or USB0.

Is my understanding correct? Are there other ways to boot the board with no 
on-board flash/SD boot partition?

Thanks in Advance!
