openbmc booting from external QSPI NOR Flash

[Nikhil V]

Hi Patrick,

               

               " Most systems use a SPI-NOR, so this should not be difficult.  What kind of trouble are you running into ? "



               As in beaglebone black it has onboard emmc. I donot want to use onboard flash or sdcard. I want that it should boot from external spi flash (I have also set sysboot for same).



               My openbmc image is in ".wic" format which i flashed into sdcard through dd command. now i have connected external SPI NOR flash .

               

               To program flash with openbmc image the programer has no option to flash with ".wic" format.

                

                Any other method or format of openbmc image available?





Thanks & Regards,

Nikhil Muley

Most systems use a SPI-NOR, so this should not be difficult.  What kind 
of trouble are you running into?
