Hello,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
For booting from Flash you need to follow the steps listed below
1) Check in the Kernel/drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c for the name and size of
the root partition (you may modify this file according to your need)
2) boot in nfs mode (root=/dev/nfs)
3) after boot, check if your Flash partition (it should be /dev/mtdxx
/dev/mtdblockxx etc.) is present.
4) using the JFFS2 tools make a root file-system on your desired Flash
partition (/dev/mtdxx)
5) reboot
6) change the U-Boot parameters ("bootargs") to look for root in the Flash
(root=/dev/mtdblockxx)
If everything goes well you should be able to boot using root-partition from
Flash.
Thanks
