I have read in the AT91SAM9260 manual that it can boot from SD. Is it
possible flip a switch or move a resistor to develop uboot, kernel and
rootfs purely in uSD, therefore avoiding a possible corruption in the
bootable SPI flash?

The at91bootstrap sources are geared towards a dataflash or nand flash boot, so at a minimum there would be some low level software to develop. The way I've been doing it so far is for at91bootstrap, u-boot and the kernel to live in the dataflash and for the root fs to live on the nand flash leaving the uSD open. I'd like to move everything to the nand and not even populate the dataflash in the future.

thanks,
Paul
