It is NOT possible to boot directly into a USB flash drive. The main reason that OMAP's internal ROM code probes for 1st stage bootloader (MLO file) on serial, MMC & NAND - the probe order depends on the SysBoot pins settings for the platform your are using. The rom code does not probe on USB drives at present.

This is Huaxin Dai, I was there for the pandaboard session @MIT and was the lucky winner for a pandaboard. Thanks for the pandaboard! I'm trying to boot using a 4GB USB flash drive since I don't have a 4GB+ SD/MMC card handy. So far I got no luck...Is this possible? Or do I have to get a SD card?
