Thanks Jason,

I will trying calling them and see if I can get any pointers from them. As per 
the current design for TS7300 I guess the sdcard interface is implemented in 
FPGA. In my case I dont have a FPGA but I have a serial flash. I have 
downloaded spi_boot example from Cirrus logic website and its working 
successfully on my board. 

Now I am trying to write a second stage bootloader which will initialize the 
sdcard and load redboot from sdcard. This in turn will load rest of the bits 
from SDcard. 

Its this approach right? 
Cheers
Tama
