Many thanks Jesse for this answer.
The boot process and time I can expect with a TS-7300 is much clearly.
I will work on this, and come back we problems and solutions I will kept.

Disclaimer : the TS linux gave with the eval kit is the
linux24-ts9-ksrc.tar.gz + linux24-ts9-modules.tar.gz
Perhaps, the TS10 is the one on the / of your ftp ?

With your last answer, If I've understand, the minimum is the SD card
module

For my curiosity, I've found the load_TS7300 and load_ts7kv in the
/usr/local/bin, it should be to load the FPGA bistream ?

What's the bistream format and procedure we have to use to reprogram
it on the fly ?

And to finish, about the TS-7300 user manuel V1.0, some paragraph are
blank. Have you schedule a V1.1 ?
