NOTE: The following procedure is IRREVERSIBLE.

1.Download the tsbootrom-update from
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/binaries/ts-utils/tsbootrom-update
and put it onto a USB flash drive.
2.Boot into a stock TS-7260 using the development interface. Type 'root'
to log in.
3.run /usr/bin/loadUSBModules.sh
4.Plug in the USB flash drive and you will see a message indicating
where it is mounted (e.g. /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 ).
5.Type mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt . This will
mount the device at /mnt .
6.Copy tsbootrom-update from the /mnt directory over onto the /root
directory.
7.Return to /root and type umount
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 to unmount the device. THIS MUST
BE DONE or you risk corrupting the file system (if there is one) on the
USB device upon power down or removal.
8.Type mac=`ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr | cut -d' ' -f11`
9.Then type tsbootrom-update -s -m $mac NOTE: If this is not done you
will lose your MAC address forever.
10.Place the SD card into the TS-7260 SD card slot and reboot the TS-7260.
11.You should boot into the fastboot shell after a few seconds. From
within the shell, type the following:
12.ln -sf /linuxrc-sdroot /linuxrc
13.sync
14.save
15.reboot This should boot the TS7260 to a login prompt on the Debian
file system of the SD card. You may have to try creating this link a few
times before it actually saves.
16.See this link
(http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-fastboot-ts7300.php) for
more information.

Hi!

The sd card has 3 partitions:

The second and thrid partitions have files. But the first partition is
empty with an unknown format

What steps should I follow to make the board boot from sd card?
