A20-OLINUXINO-MICRO SATA Booting

[Gaurav Pathak]

Hello,
I recently purchased a A20-OLINUXINO-MICRO board without NAND, I just want to know is it possible to boot the board using SATA HDD?
If possible then please specify the steps!!

I think that I read somewhere (either in the doc, wiki or forum) that it was not possible to directly boot from the SATA.

But I suppose that you can easily put all your partitions (except the /boot) on the SATA, keeping only the /boot on the microSD (the cheapest you can find as size and speed is not important in this case).

it is possible, there are some threads on here explaining how to do it for linux

HI,
I personally use the technique proposed by miloose. And It work very well.
If you have the flash version you can also put boot part on the flash.
