I think you'll basically have to somehow flash a working U-Boot with distro boot onto it and then just dd the tumbleweed/42.3 iso onto a usb stick and cross your fingers that gets you to a point where you can install :) Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

It has microsd card, I think it should be able to boot from sd, no? I also need to to find serial console pins on the board :)

There seems to be a lengthy discussion on the mailing list. I guess you can select the boot device using DIP switches though? http://espressobin.net/forums/topic/how-to-flash-u-boot/ Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I can. I think it is preferred way. Need to find expected layout to place u-boot image.

Well, at least while booting from SATA, they say that BootRom looks for code starting with zero offset, which implies that there can not be any GPT partition table. Probably, it is similar for SD. If so, we need to flash our EFI-aware u-boot instead of upstream one.

Well, SATA flash image from here http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Boot+ESPRESSObin+from+SATA+drive&highlight=sata suits for booting from microsd card, when it is flushed from zero offset and boot selection switchs are set to 7. At least, there is non-destructive way to check out u-boot image.

Double checked. Seems that microsd boot doesn't work and is not supported. At least for my V5 board. It just falls back to SPINOR
