Thanks Robert, only now I understand how it works without FAT. A while
back I read the boot chapter of the Sitara controller, and I remember
that it is possible to boot from different sources including Ethernet,
but had forgotten about the raw mode.

I am happy that FAT is not necessary for this reason: some years ago
Microsoft sued TomTom because the latter was using FAT in some of its
Linux GPS devices.
