Re: Can we boot directly from the MMC card

Koen,
Thanks for your reply but I am a little confused. The 'extfsd' program that
you wrote about. First - Do I use extfsd to create the ext2 filesystem on
the RS-MMC card? Second - The mmcinit does not support ext2load cmd. I get
the following error:

GUM> mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x20008000 /uImage; bootm 0x20008000

CPU: Testing write buffer                        
MMC found. Card desciption is:                              
NET: Manufacturer ID = 4d117516                          
HW/FW Revision = 0 0istered protocol fam

Product Name =  04CMMu?                      
IP route        
Serial Number = 1c0000es: 512 (order: -1, 20

Month = 7        
Year = 2006          
Unknown command 'ext2load' - try 'help'

Thanks for your help.

Mike Thompson

| If the mmc controller is supported in uboot try:
|
| mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x20008000 /uImage; bootm 0x20008000
|
