Hello

Is it possible to boot Linux Kernel via the USB boot mechanism in the SPAEr320 CPU?

If yes, what tools are available to generate an image for a bootable USB stick? I hope to get at least a link to an approbriate application note.

Thanks

Heinz

hi I am really having problems with uboot. I am using hyperterminal and a usb to serial converter. I press space bar just after a hard reset but nothing happens

I dont know, if you already solved you problem but you should test it with a pc with dedicated RS232 interface or with a RS-232 PCI-Card. Almost all USB->Serial interfaces are not working for this purpose. You will have a lot of problems.
