[U-Boot] U-Boot for Galileo Gen 1 Board

[Pablo Fonovich]

Hi:
Thanks for your answer!
So I must flash the u-boot.Rom in the spi flash, and boot from them, but I still can put the rest of the system in the ad and configure u-boot to load kernel and device-tree from sd, am I right?
What flashing tool would you recommend me?
Thanks again
Pablo

You need a SPI flash programmer to burn u-boot.rom into the SPI flash.
Unlike most ARM boards, U-Boot boots directly from reset vector on IA,
thus there is no way to put u-boot.rom on an SD card and let the
processor boot from there.
