Hi Gonzalo,
I am new to 7260 as well and don't have all the answers. Please see

I am trying this out myself. If I have any luck I will post the

By default, 7260 boots from the flash. You can make it boot from SD,
but once you do it you cannot go back to booting from flash. I tried it
the board would just go into preboot messages. TS was kind enough to
replace my board. But the up side of booting from SD is it really fast
under 2 seconds.
